MISSIONARIES
-Sereer (suh-RARE) of Senegal and The Gambia - "Praise the Lord for two women who have prayed to accept Christ in a village where we have been sharing for over a year!" workers write. "There are a handful of believers in this village, mostly women. Pray as we continue in discipleship. Ask for the members of the closest church to have a burden for the discipleship of these new believers. Petition for wisdom as we, alongside the local church, move forward in gathering these believers together for prayer, Bible study, and fellowship. Pray for a church to emerge from this group that will have a heart to share the gospel with the rest of the village, then neighboring villages, and then the entire world."
-Matthew & Valerie C, Christ Church Napa, Napa CA. Pray that Matthew would be a Spirit-led husband, father, pastor, and friend. Pray that Christ Church will be used to bring hope, life, and the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the city of Napa.
