(JAHR-kuhnd) – The hilly jungles of “East Lion” are home to over 2 million lost souls needing to hear the good news of the Savior. Give thanks to God that there is a small Christian presence in that area! Last month, 12 pastors of small churches in the area were challenged to engage the darkness. Several of these men, especially the younger ones, expressed excitement to learn more about how they can equip their churches to reach the villages around them that have no gospel presence. Pray that this eagerness will continue as training begins in the month of May, and ask the Holy Spirit to prepare the hearts and minds of the Hindus, Muslims, and animists in the area so that their hearing of the gospel will be accompanied by faith.
