Dear Prayer Warriors,
I want to thank you so very much for praying for us on this last trip to the Shishinahua River to visit Yarina, Santa Rosa and Santa Clara. The trip proved to be a glorious answer to prayer with nine more people accepting Christ in the village of Yarina (although some have prayed for the second time), strong attendance to the discipleship classes and church meetings and the completion of seven of the nine water filters for the families of Yarina. In the village of Santa Clara two more people accepted Christ with a desire to be water baptized and in Santa Rosa a strong attendance to our afternoon meeting to hear the Word of God. The Lord is truly moving mightily among these villages to bring the light of His truth to these families.
Another village named Paraiso (Paradise) that I had been working in for quite a while and then had to suspend visits due to lack of interest has just recently met with me again to strongly ask me to re-visit them to teach them the Word of God. We will gladly plan to do that when there is sufficient water in the river to travel. I tell you all of this to encourage you to keep standing with me in faith for the establishment of the Kingdom of God in these communities. It is so vital, especially now that people are responding so strongly, that we stay firm in our intercession to see to the end what the Lord has started in these lives. I am so very grateful for your prayer support in these endeavors to reach the lost and train up new believers. I pray that you are encouraged as you read what the Lord is doing through our combined intercession in all of these communities.
In the month of August I will be in the States helping to care for my mom who had a stroke this past November. We, as a family, are taking turns coming in from wherever we live to help with this great need and so I will be spending this time in the States to do so. Meanwhile would you stand with me in prayer for the following prayer needs?
1) That every person that has accepted the Lord in all three villages will continue to grow in their relationship with God.
2) That strong, committed leaders will be raised up in these communities that can take the charge of helping their people grow in their faith and understanding of the Word of God.
3) Wisdom and direction as I care for my mom in dealing with doctors, nurses and nurses aids.
4) Safety as I travel to and from the States.
Thank you so very much for all that you have done to advance the work of the Lord and I pray His blessing on you in every area of your lives.
Yours in Christ,
Sharon Malcolm
