Baptisms!

PRAISE GOD FOR FIVE BAPTISMS!

Pictures:

First to be baptized was MEH MOR, 18 year old Karenni girl who became a believer just over a year ago and joined our team back in February.  Earlier this year YOU WERE PRAYING FOR HER quite a bit when HER CATHOLIC PRIEST ADVISED HER TO STOP MEETING WITH US. At that time she was seriously questioning what she should do.

PRAISE GOD! She has not only come through that time of testing STILL FAITHFUL, but she has taken even greater steps in BOLD OBEDIENCE to Christ as the Spirit continues to lead her in the truth!

      ***UPDATE: Just LAST NIGHT Meh Mor and two of her disciples shared with two other Karenni mothers who decided to follow! Pray especially for MEH MOR'S DISCIPLES to be empowered to disciple these NEW BELIEVERS!

The OTHER BAPTISMS were 4 Karenni teens, three sisters and a friend, NEW BELIEVES who are growing in boldness and love for Christ.

Pray especially for KHO MEH, who is a LEADER among her peers and has a greater responsibility as they are following her example.

AMEN! HALLELUJAH!

Retreat and Meetings

This week  the Houston team is retreating in our headquarters at Keystone, South Dakota.  In the second half of the week we will be joining the annual Keystone Project international staff and board meetings. Please be praying for this time...

That God will bless our rest, as he has been already!

And that the Spirit will lead us and the entire Keystone staff as we evaluate the past year and make plans for the future.

Thank you!

Our Disciples

Pray for Jacob whose first generation disciple is Kyaw

Pic #1: (left to right) Jacob discipling Kyaw, discipling Polo, discipling Teeso, discipling Ethan.

Pic #2: Kyaw and his two other disciples (left to right) Ni La Aung and Sar Ha.

Specifics - Pray for Kyaw as he continues to deal with the death of his father about 6 weeks ago.  That same week, while his family was mourning, Kyaw led Ni La Aung to the Lord.  Praise God for Kyaw's faithfulness!

Polo was Kyaw's first generation disciple until he moved about 2 hours away back in July.  After he moved he began to make disciples in his new home with little help from Jacob or Kyaw.  Jacob is able to visit Polo about once a month now to encourage him as he continues to make disciples who make disciples.  Praise God for Polo's faithfulness! Pray that the Spirit will continue to lead them!

Our Disciples

Pray for Albert (team member) discipling San Ooh, who just started following the Lord at the beginning of this school year.  

He is one of the Keystone Academy students as well.  Your prayers for them helped to bring him into the Kingdom!  

Now please continue to pray that he will catch the same vision that burns in God's heart and that he will become a peacemaker for all nations.
