October 19
A young man from a Buddhist family had grown increasingly wary of the religious practices of his parents, including their animal sacrifices and idol worship. When he connected with native missionaries, he became intrigued by the gospel stories they told and began to regularly listen to their sermons. “I have come to know from the Bible that only Jesus Christ has the power to save me from my sin and only Jesus Christ can give eternal life,” he said. The young man gave his life to the Lord and was baptized. Donations of $25 or $50 support missionaries’ evangelism efforts. Pray that new believers will remain steadfast in their faith.
“He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” (Psalm 112:7)
