Daily Prayer Request
Seed Sowing Through Broadcasts - Only a small percentage of Mandinkas are able to read functionally. In an oral society, radio programs are an effective means of sowing the Gospel. Sedhiou has a new radio station. It reaches a large area in southern Senegal as well as into The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. “Sila Tilindingo” (The Righteous Way) consists of 100 chronological Bible lessons. As people listen to this radio program, please pray for open hearts to receive the Word of God. Pray that lives will be transformed. http://www.mandinkapeople.com/

Prayer Stories

Imagine the surprise of the missionary as he opened his door to see in front of him a religious leader who was normally locked behind the invisible veil of another world religion. Never before had the two of them met, never before had they laid eyes on one another, but the man had traveled many miles to this house.
Here was a leader face to face with a servant of God. The meeting was no accident; the religious leader had sought it. For over a decade he had been hearing the truths of the gospel transmitted via airwaves. Now he wanted to share his thoughts about the stories that entered beyond the wall. He lived in a city dedicated to the world religion and where no known Christians are allowed to live.
After years of listening to the radio programs with other teachers in this 'holy city,' he was ready to express personal faith in Jesus. He prayed that day for salvation, and testified that there were others 'like him' in his city. When asked where he would go now, he replied that he would return to his assignment of training children in the faith, but now he would teach them about Jesus.
Praise God for His work in this religious leader's life, and pray that others who listen to the radio programs will also come to faith in Christ.
