(mah-LONG) – Give thanks to God for the eight Filipino young people who served among the Malong this summer! They returned after 25 days with excitement, not fear. They said over and over how friendly and open the Malong communities were to their presence and how they want to mobilize more young people to serve in those communities in the future. Pray that God will use their time this summer to call more fulltime cross-cultural workers to live among the Malong and be a light for Christ. The young people saw a difference in the people as they shared stories and sang songs about faith. Pray that through times of follow-up, there will be a deeper understanding of the truths that were shared by this group of young people.
