Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it.  In April, a teenage boy on one of their teams was bitten by a venomous snake while hiking with friends. He recovered, but was in hospital for several days and needed multiple doses of anti-venom injections. While in hospital, he was visited by Abe*, a young man who believed back in 2020 and has had some ups and downs in his walk with the Lord. During that visit, Abe said he wanted to get more serious about his faith and he began sharing with some of his friends. Abe then ran into Harry* (a childhood friend who lives in the same neighbourhood) and shared the Truth with him. Harry showed interest in what he’d heard, so Abe asked some of the team to meet with them to explain more. On the third time of meeting together, Harry decided to follow Jesus! Recently, Abe baptised Harry with a small group of believers in the sea. Abe and Harry plan to meet once a week to study the Word together. Then they want to meet a second day of the week to go out sharing with their friends or people they meet and talk to them about Jesus! Praise the Lord that He chose to redeem part of the pain and distress arising from the snake bite to involve this teenage boy, his family and team in encouraging a new believer and drawing another soul into the Kingdom of Light.

Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it. They are currently visiting three teams, as well as exploring a site for a new group. They will also visit their previous place of ministry where they hope to meet up with friends. Please ask for a smooth journey given that it is in Ramadan, good connections with their team members and local friends, and opportunities to share the light of Jesus as they travel.

Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of different creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it. There have been discouragements in their teams in recent months: one professing believer is not currently meeting with other local believers after they were secretly recording them for several months; another has recanted their faith in Jesus and moved back home with parents. Alongside this, in each of the team locations, people have come to faith in the last few months or have expressed a renewed willingness to read the Word. Please ask for wisdom in discipling those who decide to follow Jesus and perseverance as some profess faith and then seem to fall away.
