“The Unripe Ones – From Fear to Faith” Part 11

Posted by Lance and Laura Ostman on Friday, March 30th, 2007

“Please pray with us that the Lord will destroy the effectiveness of Satan’s attacks on us. We want to grow and not be controlled so much by our Higa-unon ways.

Please pray that those of us who are church leaders will be able to recognize the tricks of Satan and stand against them in the Lord.

“We really want to be faithful to the Lord and we want to see the rest of our people reached with the Gospel. We really need help through your prayers, that we would overcome these areas of our culture that we struggle with.”

“The Unripe Ones – From Fear to Faith” Part 12

“One last thing that we want to ask you to pray for is our language. Our children are abandoning their Higaunon language because they want to be like the city people.

“Satan is bringing all kinds of things into our place through the contact of our young people with the city ways and they are being tempted with this.

“The worst thing, though, is that they don’t want to retain their Higaunon language and this makes it hard for us to teach them spiritual truth. Then they listen to false religions who teach in the city language and they don’t understand Higaunon anymore.

“We want our young people to know our language so that the church can continue to grow and be effective to reach out to the rest of the Higaunon villages.

“So please pray that the Lord will help us with this problem and that our children will want to retain their language and still be able to learn the truth about the Lord before they get confused.”

“Thank you for listening to our testimonies.

“The Creator has done so much for us and we are really happy about that. He is still doing so many things and yet we have a hard time living godly lives according to His book.

“I am reading His book quite often because there are still so many things in our Higaunon ways that are opposed to the ways of the Creator. We need to grow in our understanding of what He wants.

“That is all we have to say now. Thank you for praying for us. We hope that Jesus, the Creator, will bless you.”
