Dear Prayer Partners,
Matthew
28:6
He is not here, for He
was raised, as He said. Come, see the place where the
Lord was lying. We pray that you have a wonderful
celebration to remember the victory over death that Jesus
secured for all who believe. Thank you again for your
patience with me this month.
We thank you so much for
praying for the volunteers who came during March. We were
blessed with a team from Charleston Association in
Missouri and another team from Grace Baptist in
Florence, SC. Please pray for the follow-up work with
the villages BN, BAS, and MK as well as the neighborhoods
that participated in the soccer tournament. We are
grateful that they were obedient to what God called them
to do.
We are looking forward to
Kimberly coming later this month to join the MNK
team as a journeyman. After getting a start in language
and cultural learning, she will participate in
evangelizing the MNK.
Please pray for her
as she prepares to be away from family for an extended
period of time.
Pray for a smooth
transition for Kimberly.
Pray that MNK women
will see the love of Jesus in Kimberly.
Thank you for your
faithfulness to pray for the MNK.
Your sister in Christ,
April

Dear Prayer Partners,
First I want to apologize for being late with the
calendar. We were blessed with many ministry
opportunities in March. Extenuating circumstances
prevented me from getting the calendar out on time this
month. I trust that you lifted the Mandinka to the Throne
of Grace. I have included a short update on the Grace
Baptist Volunteer trip and the prayer requests for the
first week of April. Thank you for understanding.
Verse: Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able
to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us,
Thank you for praying for the ministry that was
carried out by the volunteers from Grace Baptist in
Florence, South Carolina. Over sixty boys and their
coaches participated in a soccer tournament in Sedhiou.
The men worked side by side with young men from Sedhiou to
build bleachers for the stadium. This work included
digging deep holes to cement the footers for the
bleachers. The volunteer team built much more than
bleachers. They built friendships that we pray will lead
to the young men accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. The
ladies prayer walked in the neighborhoods where the boys
participating in the soccer tournament live. They also had
opportunities to share Bible stories in the compounds.
Before and after the Thursday game we also had
opportunities to share Bible stories.
The team also ministered to our family and our
friends with Navigator's who also work with the Mandinka
people. We had Bible study, prayer, and worship times
together. We also participated in the Lord's Supper
together. We have been challenged to ask for greater
things, because our Lord "is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that".
Your sister in Christ,
Our prayer requests for April 1 - April 7 include:
Pray for/that:
April 01: The initial church plant among the MNK
will be rooted in the Word.
April 02: The families of the boys who
participated in the soccer tournament to seek to know more
about Jesus.
April 03: The men involved in Sedhiou's recreation
department to seek to understand the difference they saw
in the volunteers.
April 04: This is Independence Day for Senegal.
Pray for true freedom in Christ for all Senegalese.
April 05: FC to step out in faith and be baptized.
April 06: As many MNK go to the M to pray, that
they will feel an emptiness in Is.
April 07: The village BN to hear God's Word
clearly.
