A group of 4 of us went to a village that was hit by a tornado a year ago.  I chatted with an elderly couple whose home was battered by the tornado. They are still not able to rebuild their home today because wood is expensive.  They’re living in a makeshift home for now.  When the granny was sharing some of her “ku” (bitter) experience, she was tearing.  I tried to share the good news of the Creator, but could only go so far with my language limitations.  But I did share enough to know that this elderly couple didn't have a clue as to who I was talking about.  I was burdened by yet another encounter that two more souls have NEVER heard of the Name.  These encounters are happening much too frequently.

Please continue to lift up these requests:

1. That this couple, and all of the Dong people will have a chance to hear and understand the good news...so that many will give their lives to Him.

2. That we will be shown clearly what steps we can take to allow the first request to happen.

3. That our will be a testimony to His love and hope to those around our apartment.

4. That the Lord will raise up a team for us to work with.
