Pablo serves in West Africa, where he uses English teaching to develop relationships for the gospel.  At the centre where he works, Pablo is grateful for the provision of three new local teachers, and especially for a new worker from the US who is an old colleague of his. The team have just received a new couple from Europe, D&L, whom Pablo will be mentoring as they settle into their 6-month assignment. Please pray for Pablo as he seeks to encourage and support them, and that D&L will finish the year enthused in their passion for cross-cultural ministry. Praise God that B, a local Christian, baptised his wife this month! She said the thing that convinced her was seeing the transformation that the Holy Spirit has worked in B. Please lift them and their four young children up – that this baptism would be the first of many in their family and community.  Pablo’s mother is also visiting this week, along with a couple of others from his sending church. Please pray that this will be a precious time of mutual encouragement.

Pablo serves in West Africa, where he uses English teaching to develop relationships for the gospel. In his last update, he mentioned a nine-week class on ‘Ethics’ that he was about to teach. It went really well! As they discussed topics like the purpose of life, and objective ‘good’ and ‘bad’, Pablo regularly had guys coming to his house after, wanting to continue the discussions. Praise the Lord for the engagement of these students, and ask that He would continue to open doors for these conversations to go further. Sadly, all four of the local employees at the English Centre are stepping down this summer. It’s hard for the team as they had developed such fun relationships with them over the years, which had brought incredible opportunities to share truth. It also leaves the team with a big dilemma about teachers for next year, and Pablo already has a heavy workload. Ask the Lord to provide more people who not only have a passion to teach but also to share their lives and faith with the students and staff.

Praise God for the time away in the desert with the centre staff, including a good conversation with one of the new teachers called ‘Kerry’. This has helped Pablo, as one of the latest in a series of believers to interact with him, in knowing how to take things forward with Kerry. In January, a TikTok account was created, which resulted in a surge of new enquiries from prospective students! Praise God that through this avenue, they have grown from 30 to 80 students a day. They have now started a new term of classes and activities. Please pray for good use of time and clear guidance to connect with the right people, especially with all these new students. Pablo will be teaching a new class this term on ‘Ethics’. Ask that this may open up many conversations about morality, ultimately resulting in the conclusion that our God is unfailingly and objectively good!
