Fitted Pieces

PDF Version: Anderson_WEEKLY_161015

After years of praying and contacting many people, the Lord continues to fit pieces together for ministry among Muslims in the northeast of Cote d'Ivoire. Last Sunday, Verlin had an encouraging meeting with Koussounou Maxime, a man he met earlier this year, who wants to regularly exchange understandings and practice sharing Jesus in this Muslim context. They have scheduled weekly meetings when Verlin is home in Bondoukou that will answer questions for witnessing believers being trained from two sources, one being Good News for Muslims. The other material being considered to train others for interaction with Muslims during alternating weeks was provided by the Fritschs during DMM trainings in June (Pass it on! & Transforming Touches). Pray with us that many believers will be equipped for CHE ministry among those who are impoverished both physically and spiritually by various oppressions. One comment often expressed after a CHE TOT1 training is the hope Christians feel in being exposed to ways that they can speak lovingly and confidently with their Muslim friends and neighbors.

Prayer and Praise:

• Verlin and an Ivorian pastor will work together Sunday and Monday to prepare for two rural CHE trainings, each a week long, that will sandwich visits to three church groups and some others to plan future trainings. Although separated by many miles, the pastors of both villages have seen significant growth in their ministries by putting CHE principles into practice. They have waited long months for further training. It is expected that they will develop into two of 87 points of light we project needing to attain Million Village Challenge goals (Updates of 160305 & 160312).
• Debbie had good news from one set of follow-up diagnostic tests. She and doctors still seek an answer to one painful symptom. Corbin's infection is much improved.
• Two weeks ago, Verlin hired a carpenter to help some friends with a broken door. As they traveled for the repair, Verlin was able to address numerous spiritual questions about the person of Christ and Islam. Pray that K.'s commitment to Jesus grows stronger and helps him continue to overcome sins of gambling with which he has struggled for the last decade.
