God is good and all glory belongs to Him.

One evening during a youth ministry, when I was preaching a youth suddenly shouted and screamed for forgiveness. I came down from the pulpit and with the help of a few youths we were able to hold him and calm him down. I prayed for God to set him free from this demonic spirit. I came to know that his family worship evil spirits. Now he has accepted Christ. Praise be to God! So now whenever we have youth ministry we include healing and deliverance as well.

I was sent to serve among the D tribe who are idol worshippers. By the grace of God and the boldness and strength He gave me that I was able to share the gospel to this tribal group who are hardhearted. May the message that I gave will stir their hearts to come to Jesus Christ soon. These D people are quite hard to penetrate but with God everything is possible so in God's time everything will work out well. To God be the glory!

Praise God! We are thankful that all our seats in our church are filled after constant fasting and praying. Many attending are unbelievers who have yet to give their hearts to Jesus Christ. Pray that God will give them the boldness and strength to accept him as Lord and Saviour. Many are from the M faith. It is very wrong if they convert to another faith. Pray that the Holy Spirit will show them which is the true God. God in his time will make all things possible. Amen!
