Thank you for continuing to pray for students at Tanzania Baptist Theological Seminary (TBTS) as they seek to complete their six-week term of study. Ask God to give them a passion for learning His Word and living it out among their families and communities. Intercede for good health for all the students and faculty members. Ask God to fill the teachers with the Holy Spirit and give them His wisdom as they work with the students. In March, several men and women completed their studies and graduated. Please pray for these laborers to be faithful with the training they have received, and ask God to use their gifts to plant new churches, share the good news, and build His kingdom. Pray for their families and churches to continue to support these servant leaders. Continue to pray for God's leadership at TBTS. "And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2 ESV).

(tie-koh-RAHT) - His family began to prepare his funeral, but desperate prayers were lifted up by the believers for Mike's healing. God miraculously healed him! In the past, Mike would flee from any conversations about Jesus. But God opened his heart. God healed Mike's body, and he knows it is only by God's power that he is alive. Mike began to have faith in God. He listened, studied, and carefully read booklets we gave him. He has a new life in Christ. We praise God Mike prayed to ask Jesus to be his Savior. Pray that he will be a witness to his neighbors and that Mike's wife will also make a confession of faith in Jesus.

Praise God for a student group that has recently given schoolmates a small gift pack that included snacks and a verse of encouragement as they study for their final exams. Please pray for this group as they begin a study that is geared toward reaching the lost. May God prepare many hearts to be open to His great news!

Jason's journey to Canada was fraught with both despair and providence. The Lord used each difficulty along the way to show Jason that He was near, causing each hardship to work out for the good. Over the course of many months, this culminated in Jason's salvation in late 2022. Jason is one of three Persians with uniquely beautiful stories who are seeking to take the next step in their walk with Christ and be baptized. Please pray for Jonathan, a mature Persian believer, to have wisdom as he leads the baptism discipleship class. Pray for this time to be a significant step in the faith journeys of Jason, Francis, and Brenda. Pray that each baptism will be a powerful testimony to other Persians of God's saving and life-changing grace.

(DEL-ee) - Asad, whom you were asked to pray for last month, continues to study the Book of John every week with some believers who are trying to plant a church in the area where he lives. He continues to respect his parents, even though his father beat him for his faith and has not apologized. Asad wants to share the gospel with them and is praying for the right opportunity. Pray for Asad to be obedient and wise as he grows in the knowledge of God and His Word. Ask for opportunities to share the good news with his parents, and pray that his parents' hearts will be softened to receive Jesus.
