(mah-LOO-koo) – Praise God, local believers have been sharing the gospel with and encouraging a family in a small village in the northern Maluku Islands. No local church exists in this village where the people practice a mix of animistic beliefs and Islam. This family has two new believers and others in the family are open to the truth of the good news. Pray for this family to be rooted deeply in the Word of God and to begin to function as a house church with the father taking up the mantle of spiritual leadership over his family.
