God has been using us to continue to build relationships in our community. One of the recent experiments is for Nathan to do Bible studies on Fridays. During the time when most people are at the mosque he meets with a Christian man he is discipling then after mosque time he is opening up the time for Muslims to come and ask questions about the Bible and Christianity. The experiment is still getting going and he is consistently having one person come to Muslim time. He is praying that more would come and be exposed to the God of the Bible.
Becky has seen a resurgence of neighborhood girls coming to visit her. They come out of curiosity to see the "white" lady and then return as she helps them learn to read or learn games. Some of these times have led to good spiritual discussions and she prays that here times with these girls would open them up to knowing Christ as Lord and Savior.
In our five months of being back in Guinea we have had one sickness after another. Becky is still trying to get rid of a staff infection in her throat. It is time consuming and energy depleting to be so continually sick. Pray that we would have greater health to be able to spend more energy and time reaching out to people.
We continue to ask God to bring spiritually hungry people to us. Pray that God would direct people to us who are wanting to know how to truly worship him.
As a WorldVenture team we are starting to host mid-term missionaries (3 month - 2 years commitments). We look forward to how God will use these people to impact his kingdom here. Pray for us to be able to guide them well and help them develop as missionaries in our community.
