Prayer Request: We ask you to pray fervently for the family of Isaiah Suwari. While traveling to share news about the opening of the school in Zimbabwe, brother Suwari was killed in an accident. Plans for the new school involved his role as director of the program in Zimbabwe. His wife and two year old son need the strength of our Lord to help them find comfort and peace during this time. Please remember his family and the future of the work in Zimbabwe.
Students in Denver are now in full-swing with the final quarter of the school year before their break during the summer months. During graduation next month, we will witness eight men complete their studies and enter the ministry. We experience mixed emotions during this time. We are always sad to see students leave, but we are also glad to know they are entering into the work of the Lord’s kingdom. Please pray for these men as they finalize their studies over the next few weeks and prepare to leave Denver and begin the work in a new place.
News from various extension schools this week also provides encouragement. The reports below share news about numerous souls who were added to the kingdom. The work of these men throughout their weekend evangelistic campaigns is exciting. It would be interesting to know how God works through each of these situations and the number of lives influenced by the individuals who come to the Lord. The web of influence that spreads through this work must literally reach hundreds, if not thousands, of people every week. How exciting!
Please remember to pray for the development of the work as new schools finalize plans to train men to preach. Pray for the Suwari family. Remember our brother Cy Stafford as he continues to gain strength in preparation for further treatment.
