Thank you for praying for the small village called “Syello.” Originally a squatter village, it has now been annexed by a city and is undergoing significant changes, with a neighboring country investing and building in the village. God has blessed the village with a few new believers who will be participating in a new Bible study. Please pray that the study will be fruitful and that these new believers will grow in their love for God and His Word. As is often the case, there is opposition to the believers in the village, so please pray for their perseverance. “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Romans 5:3-5 ESV).
