(BAH-mah) – Please pray for Darion, a national partner working to plant new churches in Mandalay. He is also a doctor and has his hands full running a one-man clinic for local people. This is heavy work as malnutrition, high blood pressure, and diabetes are rampant among the local population. Though the work is hard, God is using Darion and his family. Several of their Buddhist neighbors are meeting weekly to learn about Jesus and the Bible. They have met numerous times and are continuing to learn new Bible stories regularly. They are interested in what they are learning but are still counting the cost of following Jesus. Pray that God will draw them to Himself and start a church in Darion’s neighborhood. Pray also for encouragement for Darion and his wife, that they will continue to faithfully share and teach, even as no one has accepted Christ yet.
