January 23
A family suffering various illnesses was passing by a church and, having seen a film depicting foreign pastors casting out evil spirits, entered the native ministry’s office and asked for prayer. Workers prayed for them and gave them a New Testament, encouraging them to read it daily and ask Christ for help. They returned for Sunday worship saying they had slept comfortably because of the prayer for them. The elderly patriarch accepted Christ, and the entire family now worships at the church, reading material that explains faith in Christ more deeply. Workers need donations to share the gospel with such people and disciple new Christians. Pray for protection from opposition.
“He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For the sake of His name.” (Psalm 23:3)
