Amelia* serves in West Africa, sharing the gospel with those in a region that is very opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. Give thanks for the different groups of women that have welcomed Amelia* into their community, sharing tea with her and helping her with her language acquisition. Pray with Amelia* for new believers who face terrible trials for their faith, including a man who lost his job and whose lenders called in their debts when they heard he’d followed Jesus. In desperation, he recanted and returned to Islam. Pray that this won’t be the end of his journey with Jesus. Pray that the power of the Holy Spirit will strengthen and provide for the hearts and practical needs of new, persecuted believers.
