The chief priest of a local tribe’s religion persecuted churches for many years, but when he faced a life-threatening illness, he requested that his family take him to Christians for prayer. Local missionaries and other church members prayed for him for three days, and he was healed. “Now he confesses that the Lord Jesus Christ is greater than all the other gods and goddesses,” a local ministry leader said, adding that family members who had been tribal priests also accepted Christ. Workers shared the gospel with more than 34,000 people. Donations are sought for such evangelism and discipleship. Pray Christians facing persecution would be strengthened and comforted.
