The third session of Bible school is beginning with two new students. Both new students are pastors from other organizations. One is already re-baptized in Jesus' name and by faith, the other will be before the sessions end. Our pastors have been praying for an open door in a specific area of the country. God answered with not only an open door, but a pastor and two congregations.
The missionary's night guard has renounced his previous religion and had moved quickly toward Christianity. This heart change came after an all-night prayer meeting of the pastors on the missionary's rooftop. He is evangelizing his family and will be baptized soon.
