April News from Niamey, 2008

God has answered our prayers for Fatti. When she was visited last week by myself and another missionary, we discovered she had listened to the Roman’s Road Scriptures on the tape we had given her, so we asked her, “Who is Jesus?” She told us “He is God’s Son and He loves me and He is in my heart.” Now the Lord has a new child and we have a new sister. We are rejoicing. We told her to invite other ladies from the village to listen to her tape with her. She said they would not come, but she would turn the volume up loud so they will still hear. I was proud of her for even thinking of this. God is at work in her life.  The next week, another friend of ours went with us to see Fatti. She brought her guitar and we played songs and sang them in Zarma. All the ladies came along with their children. We taught them, “This is the day the Lord has made and I have decided to follow Jesus.” They clapped, sang and listened to the Bible story my friend told of the Creation. Oh how great God is. He has opened a wide door to begin a Bible story place at Fatti’s and all three of us will continue to go.

Your prayers are being answered for another student as well. He handed in a paper he wrote for me on the Roman’s Road Scriptures and what they meant to him. He is now under conviction and said he is thinking about his relationship with Christ but it is hard to change. Our whole class time was spent in discussion about his understanding of God’s Word and he left class with much to think about. Keep praying for his salvation.

Your prayers are being answered, His name is being lifted up, and I am amazed how great our God is.

 

Bless all of you,
