Just last week we asked you to pray for three men at Salem Oaks in whom we saw leadership potential. I've if these was Oo Reh, Karenni man from Nacogdoches, TX, who became a believer just three weeks ago. Pray with us about the exciting things God is doing in this man's life!

Back story

Kho (young team member pictured above) had had a dream about her sister's father in law, Oo Reh, who was Buddhist. In the dream, a man from the team shared a story from the Bible with Oo Reh and God changed his heart so that he destroyed all his Buddhist things. The following weekend Oo Reh and his wife came to visit family in Houston and Jacob (team member pictured above) and Kho were able to share the gospel with them. That night, in the presence of a house full of guests, both Oo Reh and his wife, Ti Mo, prayed to ask God for the new life found in Christ. We gave them audio bibles on mp3 and told them to listen and share with others.

Saturday night

Fast forward three weeks... Last Saturday night Jacob was planning to make the three hour trip to Nacogdoches to follow up with Oo Reh but he came to Houston again instead. He told us that since we met him he had shared with four families, all of whom "said the same as me and wanted to learn more."

He was able to practice sharing the gospel again with Kho and then Jacob challenged him with the testimony of a Muslim convert who shares Christ in the face of persecution and with a story from the life of Christ. Jacob gave him an assignment to go back and share that story with his wife and he asked, "Should I teach it to the four families, too?" Absolutely! What a joy to see the Spirit working in this man's life!

Before leaving we prayed for Oo Reh that God would allow him to make many more disciples, and Jacob challenged him to pray the same for the four families and his wife.

»» Pray with us that the Spirit will continue working in this man and bring salvation to the Karenni people!

»» Pray for spiritual protection for these new believers and for Ti Mo to follow her husband's example.
