For many months now, I have not mentioned much about the Teacher.

• Please continue to pray for him, as he follows up many leads of people interested in the Lord.
• He is currently looking at opening a center, where a holistic ministry can take place (life skills training and spiritual life can be taught).  However, at this time, he is the only one doing it.
• We pray that there would be a team of people, that will surround him and work with him in this strategic work.
• Also pray that God will provide a couple, that will get this same vision and desire, to free the teacher from the day to day running of a center like this. That would enable teacher to spend time ministering to people.  The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few.
  • Pray that the Tai Dam would understand more of Christ as Lord and God's love for them.

The Taidam have a great series of tales and fables. One of the favorites is that the world experienced a flood in which most of the people on the world were killed.

          -Pray that God will raise up strong leaders among the Taidam            believers...leaders that can tell Bible stories and relate spiritual truths.
          -Acts 28:18- to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from            the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a            place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.

The Taidam social stratification extends to their concept of the afterlife. Commoners and those who die before the age of five enter one stage, whereas the upper class enter a more "idyllic" place.

• Pray the the Taidam will come to know, that Christ died for all of the Taidam, so they might be acceptable before God. May they know that in Christ, we are all one family of equals.
