(MEE-boh) – Where the Mebo people live, Buddhist Lent ended in October. Pearly’s family promised her they would become believers after Lent. Pearly has been a believer for only one year, but her life has changed since she became a Christian. The Lord has helped her greatly in her struggles with mental health. She does not live in her village anymore; she lives with her Christian husband who has helped her grow in her faith. He is now studying to become a pastor. Pearly’s family saw the drastic changes in her life, and they want to become Christians. They read their Bible daily, but they are still afraid of the Buddhist traditions and responsibilities they would have to break away from to follow Jesus. Pray for Pearly to stand strong, and for her family to accept Christ, and that a house church could be started in her home village.
