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.
