Native missionaries drove through heavy rains to meet with villagers in a remote area who had only recently begun to regularly meet together. But their meeting place was beneath a tree, and on this day, the downpour pushed everyone into a small house nearby where the missionaries used the book of Philemon to discuss the importance of house churches such as theirs. “There are so many needs among the people, but they had joy on their faces because of the love of Jesus and what He has done for them,” the ministry leader said. Funds enable native ministries to support church plants across the region. Pray for these groups of believers as they fellowship together.
