McGathy's on Mission

Chris and Julia joined the Salem Oaks team in August. Since then they have hit ground running, and God has blessed them with tons of different connections. Here is an overview of the work Julia and Chris are currently involved in:

• Julia has been pouring into four girls ever since the couple arrived: Smirti, Sang Huang, Sang Muang, and Beh Meh. They are Christians but all four of them just made the decision recently to go deeper in their walk with Christ and follow him at a greater cost.
• An African woman named Phaza, the mother of Taher's disciple, Olivia, asked Julia to be discipled. That will happen through translation of Olivia. Please pray for the husband, Mkunzi. He is currently in jail for abusing the family. Pray against alcohol abuse in his life. Chris hopes to connect with him when he gets out.
  

• Chris has been connecting with people weekday mornings at the bus stop. There have been at least two people that Bibles were given to. He said they both held them tightly after they were given, one was actually snatched from his hands!
• Nemal is a Nepali man who is traditional Hindu. He only believes in one God. Chris was able to give him a Nepali Bible and he has been reading it comparing it to his religion.
• Chris met Ah Htoo a month ago before he left for the SD training. He's not Christian but Chris got to pray for him to find a job. During that month God provided a job for this man! Chris Block, a new Ranchester team member got to share with him, and at the end of their time the man initiated asking for prayer for his mother.

• Together they have been able to connect and build relationship with their neighbor, Marlon, and his family. They are Hispanic and they will be having dinner with them on Wednesday night.
• They also connected with a deaf Nepali couple, Dahn and Mani. They are Christian but they do not follow. Mormons have been coming to them giving them resources and info on the book of Mormon. Chris was able to show them truth and trade out the Mormon's book for the Bible.
