Sancha and Polo

Here's a quick update and some prayer points for Sancha and Polo, two of our key disciples who were recently baptized (see photos below, see also post on May 30).

 

è Polo

Moved last week to Port La Vaca, a city a couple of hours south of Houston.  Though young, he has been one of our most faithful disciple making disciples, full of energy and love for the Lord! Please pray for him as he settles into a new life with his family:

 

1.    That he will be strong in the Lord and protected from the enemy

2.    That he will continue to make disciples there

3.    That someone will be raised up to disciple him and others in Port La Vaca

4.    For the disciples he left behind, that they will continue to grow

 

è Sancha

Has been growing in faith and faithfulness! Husband, Harka, does not follow the Lord. He was angry when he found out she was baptized, threatening divorce and shame from the family.  Sancha, however, refuses to be ashamed of Christ and continues to love, serve, and share what she is learning with her husband and other family members with a cheerful and determined spirit. Praise God for her courage! And please pray for her:

 

1.    That she will continue to grow strong in the Lord.

2.    That she will be able to find a disciple

3.    For Harka (husband), Hema (pictured below), and others with whom she is sharing.

Martina

Please continue to pray for Martina.
All of her disciples except one,  Klaw Meh, have officially decided not to meet. Klaw Meh is not sure,  but seems close to that same decision.

Martina told us yesterday that her mom has been telling her not to meet with us anymore. She's hearing a lot of lies from the enemy and is reconsidering what the priest said as well.

It doesn't seem that she wants to stop meeting,  but she is uncertain of what to do with everything changing so quickly.

Pray for them as Jesus did: Luke 22:31-34.
