NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

Dear Supporters,

 

I’m writing to ask for prayer.

 

Recently the believers here have been challenged to get rid of all their old ways. They did not realize that mixing their former beliefs with their new found faith was not healthy. But the Lord used the story of Athens in Acts 17 to challenge them in this respect.  

 

So today is a big day for them because a woman is in labor. What they used to do was all kinds of incantations or magic to assure safe delivery. However for the first time ever they are laying all that aside and walking by faith alone that God will help them. Therefore I’m writing all of you to ask you to pray for this woman. Her name is Tiyenare.

 

She was in the first literacy class and is incredibly shy. This is her first baby and there are midwives here that have gone through a training course so they will be able to assist. They’ve obviously delivered lots of babies here, but this will be the first one without dependence on animistic practices! It’s awesome seeing their simple unwavering faith. Pray that they will see God’s work in this and glorify His name!

 

Thank you!

Gary
