Pray that God will use this language training to bless many. Also, the Mission Home is now open for registration—pray that God will lead more mission-minded believers to sign up, take on the challenge, and expand His kingdom.

  7. Nicholas Yao’s Campus Ministry in Wellington – Nicholas and his team conducted a large student survey during the semester’s start, reaching 2,242 students, with 646 expressing interest in hearing the gospel. Additionally, 100 Christian students showed interest in learning how to share their faith. This week, they are beginning follow-ups with those interested. Pray for Nicholas as he enters this busy season of ministry—may God strengthen him!
