Be careful what you ask for:

At the start of this year I asked you to pray for the following:

      1. Pray against spiritual forces at work against the ministry here in Toliara. 
2. Pray for the young adults of Toliara to seek God and share Him with their friends. 
3. Pray that we would see Bible studies reproduce around Toliara. 
4. Pray for a Malagay women that I can partner with in ministry.       
5. Pray that one day I can study the Bible with the ladies of the market.

We have seen some praiseworthy results:

1.    Having now entered the spiritual warfare unit as a team God has given me eyes to see the evil around me.  This is both amazing and hard.  Continue to stand with me in prayer against the evils of alcohol, Islam, legalism, and sexual sin.  I literally walk through these, every day. Praise God for my leaders and all those who are standing with me. 

2.    God is sending young adults to my house.  I can’t help but think of Hebrews which says, “do not stop meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encourage one another daily as long as it is called today.”  God uses these young adults to help me just as much as I am here for them.  Praise God!

3.    God has shown me how small a prayer this was.  He is growing the kingdom and taking the gospel to the country through the people of Toliara, both young and old.  Hold them up in prayer as they carry the Light of Jesus with them.

4.    My host mama is one such women.  We pray together regularly.  Please join with us, for we need an army!!!!!!!!!  Pray for peace and health in her house. 

5.    God continues to send me to women of peace around Toliara.  Pray that I would “take every opportunity” – and stand with me in prayer for the women and teen girls I meet and “walk” with.
