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.
