God goes before

Steve and Mary moved in with a local family in order to learn Azeri language and culture. Early in the relationship Steve shared through sign language his love for God. Over the months a real bonding has resulted as the two families have shared life together. Sibel, the married daughter, had mother-in-law problems and Mary prayed and encouraged her to read the New Testament. Soon the mother in the house was borrowing it and also reading. She recently announced that she would no longer be going to Muslim holy shrines but would pray to God herself. Sibel told Mary that all her friends want to read "this book" but she needs it right now so she can't let them have it. 

There is a great sense that the Lord has gone before and prepared the way for the new team members in Azerbaijan. They recognize that prayer is the key to seeing God work.

Prayer: Pray for encouragement and fruitfulness for these new team members in Azerbaijan.
