In Exodus 34 God appears to Moses to give him the laws for the Israelites a second time (the people were just caught trying to create a god of their own.) Moses falls to the ground and pleads, “God please do not make us go on from here on our own. Go with us! These people are so hard headed and rebellious. Forgive them and make them your own people!”
The new believers have formed outreach groups so they can go to surrounding villages to share the Good News with those who have never heard about Jesus!

We attended a party in our home village. Monica and I ordered matching pink doily outfits six months in advance! All the women in our family got dressed up to celebrate together. The event however was not what we were led to believe.

We had an exciting time showing JESUS in the Supyire language! Anson came with another friend! Anson was so excited about this film and insisted that we show it to our [host] family. We are not JESUS Film workers but many millions have been changed through this film so we set up a day and time to show the family we live with in our village.

This story about a man the team calls Samson is common. Often the story crafter our teams use is not a Christian when the project begins. “Samson” is helping take the Scripture the team feeds him and turn it into a story in his native language. Please pray for him. He is handling God’s Word and putting it into a format for distribution to an unreached people group. He’s had years of effort poured into him by missionary friends who introduced the OneStory team and seems ready to accept Christ. Samson is the head of his household, responsible for about 20 in his compound. Imagine if he were to call Jesus his Lord and Savior.

A volunteer team from Georgia, USA was with us last week among the Senufo Syenara. Three men and two women came accompanied by a translator from the capital city of Bamako (a believer) and our regional overseer. We saw the Father work in amazing ways.

“Isengardians” are the largest people group in the world without the Bible in their own language. Since “Isengard” has a very low literacy rate (less than 10% for village women) recorded scriptures, storytelling programs, and video projects are vital to present the Gospel. We recorded 21 stories, each recorded in both a male voice and a female voice.

Trying to find members of the people group you’re supposed to be working with can be tricky.
