Receiving Christ as personal Savior here a person goes through the whole array of feelings and motions. One time we had a guy who made a list of all the people he had offended. He was deter-mined to contact each of them with the words of apologies and asking how he could repay the harm he had done. Another time we had a woman who said she would go to her village to preach about Jesus not matter what she could face there. Over and over we see such stories where God does dramatic things for his kingdom. I can only encourage every Christian to visit these mission frontiers to emerge in this wonderful work of the Spirit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ESL Students<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The base of our ESL students\u2019 work is expanding. I was surprised to learn this month how many young children have grown up and became young adults. Please remain in prayer for the hearts of those people. Pray that their hearts will be led to Christ to receive the truth of God\u2019s Word. Also, pray that this door of opportunity continues to be open and we can preach the good news through this venue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Praise and Prayer Points<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have a new family in our work here. He is a former drug addict and he had a rough life prior to coming to Christ. Besides their own children they also have an adopted child. Their hearts are on the missions. They want to eventually go serve overseas. Please pray that those leaders continue to make disciples in an effective way.<br \/>It is the time of a year when we present this prayer request about our websites. We need $200 to cover our websites and hosting for another year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friends and Family<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The school year is at its highest. We resumed our school year in January and it turns to be even busier than anything we\u2019ve had before. Pray for the wise scheduling and stamina as we go through the programs. Continue to pray for the parents of our kids\u2019 friends. This base is also expanding.<br \/>Thank you for your prayer and support.
