August 11
A woman grew bitter and reclusive because of sores that covered her body, and she visited witches in hopes they could heal her. Nothing worked. When her neighbor invited her to a native ministry’s evangelism event, she reluctantly agreed to attend. “That night she took the step of faith and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior,” the ministry leader said. A missionary prayed for her healing and discipled her, and her sores disappeared over time. “Today, she is a very kind and helpful woman,” the ministry leader said. Donations of $25 or $50 support missionaries’ evangelism efforts. Pray their compassion will lead the lost to Christ.
“The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” (Isaiah 58:11)
