Dear Prayer Partner,
I am totally exhausted, but feeling the victory that only Christ can give.
We were shocked this week as we traveled to various Bible study locations and saw the truth of God's word spoken from the mouths of those who have met Christ face to face.  Let me be more specific:

Diba:We gathered under the tree and 9 ladies and 1 man joined us.  As we looked at their books we were surprised to see some of them finished with the book of Mark.  Some of them were visiting for the first time, but didn't have Bibles.  I took them a blank notebook, the finished copy of Mark from their friend and they will begin copying this week.  The one finished with Mark received a new notebook and will begin Matthew, to pass forward to their co-believer.  God is so good.  There are no Bibles in Ndebele, but God is providing his word at an exponential rate.

Tjehanga: Over 20 ladies gathered, and one man, at the school and most of them who had received notebooks had finished the first two chapters of Mark.
Some of those in attendance really know what they are doing so I encouraged them to move forward at a greater pace.  It is time to plow because the rains have come, so keeping them focused on the word of God will be a much needed prayer concern over the next few weeks.

Ngwana: This was our best Bible study yet.  One lady testified to hearing God challenge her to pray more.  She is now praying for an hour a day.  One man looked so changed we knew he had met Christ.  He testified to asking Jesus to cleanse him from every evil spirit.  One husband and wife are copying the word of God together.  One lady testified to asking her child to copy the book of Mark for her, he refused saying, "If I do it you will miss the message."  God is moving like never before and a spirit of inquiry is breaking out among the people.  We are overwhelmed.

Now for your part.  Since at this moment someone in Botswana and Zimbabwe is looking into the word of God, I am asking you over the next 22 days to read a section of Psalm 119 and ask God to fulfill every descriptive phrase concerning the word of God.  Please, just ask God to bring his word to life like never before, he is working miracles and we are overwhelmed.

P.S.  Ann stayed the weekend in Zimbabwe.  Please pray for her to have a great time and I will collect her Monday morning.  The boys are fine, Kayla comes home in less than three weeks.

In his Service,

Kelly, Ann, Kayla, Namon & Noah Carruthers
