In the following adaptation of a recent update from one of our international workers who serves in Guinea, learn how God is on the move. During this holiday season please continue to pray for the children and families, as well as Alliance workers, who reside in this West African nation that is one of the poorest in the world.
God is at work in Guinea. I visited a young man who is excited to be baptized. His enthusiasm reflects that of many Guineans who are learning about who Jesus really is.
Each week people are coming to Christ through vibrant church ministries. Though Guinea remains largely unreached, God is working and these days promise to be some of the most exciting where new life in Christ is concerned.
Ongoing Crisis
Yet Guinea remains in crisis. International workers could be forced to leave in a moment’s notice. But our plan is to remain in Guinea as long as it is safe and we are able to minister.
Countries are often more open to accepting change during a crisis. We believe that this is true for Guinea. Hearts once hardened to the things of God now seem to grasp the importance of life and faith. This openness is the perfect setting for us to speak the truth of God’s Word-Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Pray that God will enable us to be bold, appropriate, and passionate in sharing the story of Jesus during this Christmas season in Guinea.
