Ruth* works on an Indian Ocean Island, seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. A new believer, Natalie*, came to the monthly Bible study recently. When she arrived, she was nervous as she realised her relative, Nora*, lived next door, so she came in quickly and didn’t want to be seen by anyone as she entered. However, just a few minutes later, Natalie* said, ‘Why am I so bothered? Everyone will know soon enough what I believe!’ and at the end of the study she left slowly with her head held high, not afraid to walk in her new beliefs! (As it happened, Nora wasn’t there.) Please pray for Natalie*. She is highly educated and has a good job. She is travelling overseas this month for work.  Ask that she would remain rooted in God as she travels and that she would continue to see the cost of following Him as worth it.
