Our Disciples

Our Disciples

Pray for Richie (team member) and his disciple Sanjay (standing with Richie), who is discipling Manaj (pictured with Sanjay, teaching Manaj how to share the gospel).  Sanjay and Manaj are Nepali boys who live at Los Arcos apartments, a complex about half an hour south-east of our team's home base.

Specifics: Richie has also made connections with some of the Nepali fathers and grandfathers at Los Arcos and is currently helping Sanjay pray with Manaj to prepare to share with Manaj's Hindu grandfather. Pray for these boys and the heads of their households to catch fire for Christ and lead their people to launch a movement of disciple-making disciples at Los Arcos. 

** Manaj is one of the students enrolled in the Keystone Academy this year. Your prayers for those boys have affected him in his willingness to be discipled by one of his peers.  Thank God for that! And continue praying for him!

Urgent

Please pray for Alfred and Musu, Christian Liberian leaders who have been connected with the Keystone Project for some time.

è Background info: Alfred came to the Portland/LA team training we hosted in Houston earlier this summer and played a key role in leading Na Reh (Xavier's disciple, see recent post on Our Disciples) to the Lord.  Alfred is still in the States and has been coaching other international Christian leaders in the Keystone training taking place this month in South Dakota.

è Alfred's current situation: due to the outbreak of the Ebola virus in Liberia, all incoming and outgoing traffic (including Alfred's flight home) has been blocked for the remainder of this year. He is, therefore, compelled to stay in the States until further notice, separated from his family.

è Liberia's current situation: Population greater than 4 million. Over 600 deaths from the Ebola virus up to date. Outbreaks are restricting transportation between communities.  All imports and exports have been cancelled.  Food cost has skyrocketed. The Liberian government has said that the country itself will run out of rice (staple food) by the 21st of September (one week from today).

è Musu's current situation: in Liberia caring for their five children (3 of their own, 2 adopted). The update below came today from LJ, Houston team leader, who is also at the SD training.

------------------------------------------------------------

Hey team please pray for Alfred's family. There is a Muslim family in their village that has 31 members in the family and they have contracted Ebola virus. Some of them have died, but the government is so overwhelmed that they cannot do anything about it. They are no longer taking anyone into the clinics.The family is to stay home and be quarantined in order to keep the rest of the village from contracting this.

Because of the issues, there is not enough food for the family, so Alfred's wife, Musu, is caring for this family to keep them from leaving the home.We are sending money to help with food as the price has sky rocketed because there can be no imports or exports in Liberia because of the virus.

1. Pray for this family to willingly stay to themselves to save the lives of others. 

2. Pray that they would turn from Muhammad to Jesus through this as none of the Muslims are willing to come and help them.

3. Pray for Alfred's family to have supernatural protection as they minister in this setting.

4. Pray for Alfred as he fights this battle with his family from far away.

----------------------------------------------

Please pray!

·         Enlist fellow believers in your community to join in intercession for Alfred and Musu and their 5 children, the Muslim family in their village, and the country of Liberia as a whole.

·         Pray that God will work miracles!

Our Disciples

Pray for Hannah (team) discipling Oroma (child) and Meh Mor (also on the team) who is discipling several other women – mothers and grandmothers of her own people.

First picture: Hannah and Meh Mor

Second Picture left to right of adults: Meh Mor's disciples Elizabeth, Maw Meh (on couch), Htay Mo, Bo Meh (holding baby) and Poe Meh (in 3rd picture with Htay Mo). 

Fourth Pic: Hannah and Oroma

Specifics:

Pray for wisdom for Meh Mor as she leads these mothers and grandmothers to know their identity in Christ and how they can be a part of his mission while working and mothering full time!

Pray for Oroma as Hannah has recently begun to single her out more intentionally for discipleship. This little intercessor is growing in boldness for Christ. Pray that she will find a disciple!

Our Disciples - Time sensitive

Please pray for Erik and this Iraqi Muslim family he is ministering to. He spends long hours almost daily with this family. Some of them show interest in Christ, though the father spends a lot of energy debating Erik on who is the true God.

Family: 

Father - Waleed 

Mother - Hala

Kids (oldest to youngest) 

Tuqa, Zahraa, Muhammed Bahkar, Fatima, Muhammed Ali, Muhammed Hussein

Specifics:

Waleed returns to Iraq this Tuesday (9/16). Due to some issues that cannot be disclosed, we are praying earnestly for his salvation before that date. Please pray that God will supernaturally show himself to this man and change his life!

Pray also for Hala and the kids as their spiritual leader leaves that they may be more open to the truth (especially difficult because Waleed is the only one with good English). Pray that God will supernaturally speak to them in undeniable ways.

Our Disciples

Pray for these guys:


Xavier (team), Nah Reh (adult)

Lah Kpro (on steps with Xavier), and Lah Kpro's potential disciple, Hsar Ha (left of Lah Kpro in group photo)

Specifics:


For Nah Reh: that he will hear the Holy Spirit in his own language, that he will grow in his identity in Christ, and that he will become a spiritual leader among his people.


Lah Kpro: that he will be faithful and be able to share effectively with Hsar Ha, calling him to discipleship.
