Prayer & Praise
February 01, 2012
"My daughter was a human sacrifice," said Nassirou in Benin. "I sacrificed my five year old daughter to evil. My desire was to grow rich. This failed as the people of my town turned me over to the police. I was sentenced to 10 years in prison and divorced from my wife. A month ago, while serving my seventh year in prison, a pastor showed me the JESUS Film on a laptop computer. I had lost all hope until I saw the film. I repented accepting the love of Christ. I cried for three days. Jesus transformed me and forgave me. Now, I lead a prayer group in prison and am the pastor of evangelism. The Lord saved me to serve Him, when I get out of prison I will become a pastor to lead lost souls to Jesus."
Praise God for the change in the heart and life of Nassirou.
"Pray for Zulema's husband," said the team member in Argentina. "Zulema's home was a mess because her husband was a drunk. She decided to pray to God about it. Her husband is not a believer in Christ but he is open to hearing the Word. He has stopped spending his money on alcohol instead he buys construction materials to improve their home."
Pray for Zulema's husband to know Christ as his Savior.
"As for me and my house we will serve the Lord," said Tarral in Cuba. "The JESUS Film Harvest Partners team prayed and fasted for a church location. We decided to offer our home. It has been a blessing to offer our home in service to God. The Lord has prospered us in every sense uniting us as a family."
Praise God for the faithfulness of Tarral and his family to serve the Lord.
