	Missions: Letter from Lee Kauffman Missionary to the Jola people of West Africa Subject: April Praise and Prayer Request for the Jola-fonyi people Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2007 12:17:56 -0000 Last week Donelle met with 14 Muslim women to continue storying through the book of Luke. They started the story from Luke 23 about the crucifixion of Jesus. After the story she had them repeat the story and then they talked for another 10-15 minutes about who is Jesus, why did He come to earth, did they believe in Him as God's Son, and did they accept Him as their Savior. They all agreed and affirmed that Jesus was their Savior and that He was in theirs hearts. They began to leave the group at about the same time and they said they were going to the sacred forest to pray. Donelle asked why they were going to the sacred forest and they kept repeating "to pray". Pray that Jesus would reveal Himself to these ladies and that they would know without any doubt that He is the only way to heaven. Continue to pray for MT as he grows in his faith. He has recently begun a study of the Gospel of John. He already understands better what Christ has done for him even in studying John 1. Pray for his wife's heart to be softened to the things of God so that she will also become a follower of Jesus Pray for BT as he is beginning also to study the Gospel of John. He is searching for God. He has tried religion and found it "insufficient for his heart." Pray that he will find a relationship with God that is deep and personal through faith in Jesus. Pray for the four person team from NorthRidge Fellowship in Idaho as they come April 24-May 4 to begin their new work in Diouloulou the village which they have adopted to evangelize. Pray for their safety in traveling, for their health, for their families, for the work they will be doing in the English classes at the high school, for all the individuals they will be witnessing to in the village, and that the name of Jesus will be glorified and a new work can begin in this village. As we spoke with the director of the school and asked permission to help the students speak English plus pray in the school, the director's response was very positive plus he said, "Many of these children need prayer as they have "phantoms" (evil spirits) in their lives. Please continue to pray that the believers in Bougoutoub, both men and women, would have enough faith to step out and form a church so that they could be worshiping together and reaching out to tell their families, neighbors and friends about Jesus.
