Wanted: Maiyon

WANTED
By the Savior
  • NAME: Maiyon
  • VILLAGE: Dengenu
  • AGE: around 50 probably
  • STATS: Maiyon is a single man; they call him “young boy”. He was never married. His house is located in the “center” of the village. He has been sick alot lately; with the flu, colds, coughs, etc. He comes to visit me about once a week in order to get something (he never comes without a purpose)... so our relationship is still in the “starting” stages... even though we have been there for over 2 years.
  • PRAY: That Maiyon will regain his health so that he can continue to go to his gardens.
  • That the Lord would keep him healthy until the teaching of His word; and that God would work in his heart to draw him to Himself.
  • That Maiyon would desire to have a relationship with me not based off of what he can get, but just that he would try to get to know me.

Wanted: Singo

WANTED
By the Saviour
  • Name: Singo
  • Village: Lives at the end of the airstrip. Not in the village.
  • Age: Early 60's
  • Family: First wife died years ago; he had two sons that I know of from this marriage. Now he has a second wife and 6 children: Rano, Teo, Oten, Olden, Gengila, and Flola.
  • Stats: Singo is one of my favorite language helpers. I look at him like a father; and he calls me his son. This man is heavily into the Jehovah's Witness church. He owns the ground that the airstrip is on, and possibly the ground that my house is on (that one is in an ongoing dispute). He remembers World War 2 planes flying over when he was a small child and loves to talk about the Americans and our way of life. He is an influential man among the Jehovah's Witness group; and also among the main village of Dengenu.
  • Pray: The Salvation of him and his family: because he is involved in the JW cult; he believes he knows much of the Word of God; but he still does not understand who Christ is and the grace he can receive from Him.
  • Since he is a leader among the JW group; when we do teach the Word of God; that he and others will come to hear the Truth.
  • Also pray that he will continue to be open to sharing his culture, beliefs, and language with me.

PRAYER WARRIORS NEEDED!!!
YOUR REWARD:
The Joy of the Lord, and a part in the salvation of precious souls.
