Pray for church planters in difficult times. Despite increasing extremist violence, a local ministry recently organized a church planting training event in which 30 people participated. As part of the program, each person was also trained in a practical skill of their choice to help them establish and support themselves in the communities to which they are sent. Some learned restaurant management, beading, tailoring, or shoemaking, while others learned carpentry and vegetable gardening. “We praise God that all graduated,” the ministry leader said. “We are progressively sending them out to relatively safe areas to start their ministries.” Your donations support these ministry endeavors.
