Nouakchott is the capital of our country and it is growing rapidly. It is getting more beautiful than ever before. Though, people tend to live according to their tribal leaning and so most times it is easier to say the dominant inhabitants in some of its areas, but it is largely peaceful. It is a place where most of the foreigners live and work. however, crime rate is beginning to be on the rise. Like last year we prayed about increase in crime rate in one of its areas and God heard us and it went down. We read in the daily that it actually went down, but now it has picked up again. We thank you for praying then. Can you please still pray along with us on this subject? Like the prophet Malachi said : Then those who feared the LORD spoke with one another. The LORD paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the LORD and esteemed his name.  “They shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.  Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him. Malachi 3:16-18.
 
Please pray too for the book of remembrance to be opened for the handful of souls holding the plough never to look back. It is not a comfortable place to practice a life considered by most as estranged. We are in a period of electioneering campaign, it is a do or die affair to some, please let us cry to the God of peace to guide and guard the land through this period. Summer time is usually hard time, a time when you hear people complaining of lack, this is due largely to the fact that, most nongovernmental activities that do hand-outs to people have winded-down and people are on holiday. It means a time to lousy-out by the youth and adding to the unemployment rates that is continually on the rise. We are trusting God to help the family serving there since the past 10 years to keep holding on until the mind of God is accomplished concerning their being there and to provide the funding for the project-the Learning Home for the children as part of the center already going on. Please pray because we fear the Lord and we have spoken to one another on these issues and many more the Lord shall lay in your hearts for we know He will pay attention to our prayers in Jesus’ name.
 

 From John

Dearest friends and partners, summer started with a lot of activities for his glory, more than 8 summer schools to train Leaders to go make disciples.  We had more than 30 different outreaches with over 70 leaders to share the Gospel.
Please we need your prayers, so if you have some time to pray for us for:
– God to open the doors for us to speak courageously about the gospel
– Protection from burning arrows of the evil one, to be fully surrounded and protected.
– For protection of our kids (physically and psychologically).
 
From Bettie
Thank you for your work in the Kingdom of God. I know that many missionaries are benefitting from your support. Also your newsletters are well-done, informative and inspiring with testimonies and prayer requests.  To God be all the Glory!
 
From Helen in Abidjan
We were blessed by the Lord, I finally finished the 2 (two) course formations that I followed: FJE (Family Young and Child) and Honor to the children. Praise God with me for the successful completion of these courses which were crowned by two (2) diplomas obtained.
Who will help us to move forward in ministry among children?

We say thank you to the Lord for the activities of the district BENI, 5 (five) children of this district decided to take part in the Sunday worship. Following visits and prayers our sick children found healing by the grace of God.  Join us to bless the Lord for a young man who lived in the street that we have won to Christ.  Another decided to take the literacy course, and another decided to do some small jobs at the market.
Glory be to God.

Let us also bless the Lord for my neighbor who gave herself to the Lord. One of the children I attended to was admitted to the BEPC and the others went to the upper class. But the challenge remains for the Sicogi district which has no meeting place to continue our activities for children.

The second challenge is for some of our young people who live on the streets and do not have work.  For us I can say that our God has been faithful.
May the Lord bless you and grant you His grace by remembering you as He did in the life of Cornelius in Acts 10: 4

I have continued with my class where I have the two ‘S’ girls. Their mum has become a great friend plus their other siblings. They actually allowed me to be praying in the name of Jesus. We have seen healing for the kids every time we pray. Their mum wonders why I pray as though God is so near. We have started discussing. Her husband, a former Sheikh is having another woman and she is distressed being eight months pregnant. What was God’s original plan for marriage is what am praying about explaining to her! Plus Allah allows men to quench their lust with other women as long as they are not more than four at a time. I need grace to explain to her that JESUS values women and has always been clear against immorality.

We have started engaging a university in Nairobi. They have quite a number of ‘M’ students that are intentional about spreading their religion.  Together with the Christian Union we want to ensure that disciples are made that can reach out to the lost around them in school.We go to the market every Thursday. We have had a chance to interact with ‘Ms’ and shared the gospel with them. Praying that the Holy Spirit will continue to pursue them!
I was able to attend a Disciple Making Movement training that equips believers to make disciples who in turn make disciples and there is a multiplication until the earth is populated with disciples making disciples among all nations.
