Global Missionary Partners, Asia-Pacific Rim

Andrew and Kathy are global missionary partners serving in Africa with their young children. Social unrest and street crime are common, which sometimes limits their outings as a family. Still, they have found ways to reach out. Last month, Andrew shared that they held several “cake parties,” as Kathy calls them. They invite many people to the park for picnics, local music and dancing, singing, and storytelling. At the last party, they shared two Bible stories: Jesus meeting the woman at the well and His healing of blind Bartimaeus. They also shared personal testimonies. The local people listened closely to the stories. The feedback was very positive, and many said they want to come again. Pray for Andrew and Kathy as they work to improve their language skills so they can connect better with the local people. Pray that these picnic events will draw more people to consider the truth of the gospel. Ask God to help Andrew and Kathy with challenges like visa issues, finding affordable housing, and staying safe, so they can keep serving faithfully.
