Friday

Live together in harmony,

live together in love,

as though you had only one mind

and one spirit between you …

in humility think more of each other

than you do of yourselves.

~Philippians 2:3-4 (PH)~

From Becky Lindsey:

I recently learned of your site through my father, Larry Carruth. My mother has been in ICU at North Oaks Medcial Center for several days after a very extensive surgery. We realize the power of prayer and would request Judy Carruth be added to the prayer list. . . .

Please continue to pray for Debbie Miller. She is continuing to experience some health problems while resting at home.

Please don’t forget to pray for John Easley and his family as he has surgery this morning and goes through the recovery process in the next few months.

“Let the little children come to Me,

and don’t stop them,

because the kingdom of God

belongs to such as these,”

Luke 18:16b

EXTREME MUD RIDING

For several weeks, some Christian workers and their children have gone into the countryside of Guinea-sometimes by foot, sometimes by truck, and other times by bike. They go to share the love of Jesus with the Fulbe Futa Jalon people (FUL-bay FOO-tuh jah-lone) people of West Africa.

The rainy season started and many of the fun excursions turned into ‘extreme mud riding.’ One day, one young boy looked like a spotted leopard by the time he got home! It had rained while the family was at a distant market, so the return trip was really muddy. Mud sprayed everywhere-especially from his back tire right up his back.

It took a lot of work to get their clothes clean! The family was so happy to go to another unreached village with God’s Word. At the local markets, the Christians have found a few people who are curious and many who are afraid. It is not always easy to walk up to others and tell them about Jesus. There are some people who do not want the Christians to talk about Jesus.

Please pray for the Christians who are going all over the countryside to tell the Fulbe Futa Jalon about Jesus. Pray they will laugh about the rain and the mud…and keep on going to the people. Ask God to help the Fulbe Futa Jalon not be afraid to hear about Jesus.
