MALI MISSION MARCH09: Communications down…please continue praying!

It has been over 52 hours since we’ve had communication from the team, possibly due to technical difficulties with the satellite phone.  We are still anxious to hear the result from Village F of their sharing the creation to return story, reading those scriptures in the tribal language, and showing the Jesus Film!

The team was scheduled to greet and teach in Village K today (Monday), where there are 33 brand new believers awaiting baptism. They were then to go to Village X to sleep and have an evening teaching time with the believers there. On Tuesday, the team, the believers from Village X, and new believers from Village K were to walk as one body to a place where baptisms can be performed. What an exciting time that will be!

Though we don’t know for certain what’s going on in Mali right now, we can rest assured that God is still faithfully working out his plan and has things under control. In the meantime, let’s continue doing our part by praying:

PRAISE GOD:

Psalm 117

1 Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples.

2 For great is his love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.
Praise the LORD.

• Thank Him for his faithful watch over and care for this team.

PLEASE PRAY, ASKING GOD that:

• His Name would be highly praised among the Yalunka;
• seeds of the gospel planted in Village F will sprout and grow into a righteous harvest;
• the teaching of new believers in Village K will be clearly understood and that more will be drawn to walk on the Jesus Road;
• believers in Village X will be spurred on to a new level of commitment to Christ;
• the baptisms demonstrating new life in Christ will stir everyone in the area to seek Him, who has power over death and the grave;
• whatever is hindering contact with the team will be resolved.
