Edward* serves in a closed country where there are very few Christians. Pray for his local friend Andrew* who is showing signs of growing interest in Jesus after studying the gospel of John with Edward over the past months. While not professing faith in Jesus yet, Andrew* has been referring to Jesus as ‘his’ prophet who shows him the way to God, which is a significant step forward. Pray for patience and continuous progress in language learning for Edward as he seeks to show Andrew through the Bible how Jesus is not simply a prophet but is God Himself.

Pray that this small step forward will continue to open doors to further gospel conversations as Michael* has agreed to read together more in future.
