(WAH-soo-loo) – A year ago, Wassulu workers asked you to pray for Bill, Kent, and Mitch, who are all believers from other people groups who had been interviewed and vetted after expressing their desire to go to a Bible school in Mali and then work among the Wassulu villages. These men are now in their second year at the school, and it is critical to keep this next generation of workers in prayer. Continue to pray that their personal relationships with God will grow stronger each day and that their longing to know the Word will continually increase. Since they come from people groups that ancestrally were not Muslim like the Wassulu, pray that they will have a growing desire to understand the cross-cultural nature and worldview of sharing the gospel–even within the boundaries of the same country. Pray for their spiritual, emotional, and physical health in an extremely challenging environment, including the increasing presence of Islamic terrorists. Lastly, in these difficult times, pray also for protection around the small school in “Mount Vernon” that they are attending, its leadership, and its teachers.
