Dear Praying Friends,

Thank you so much for your faithful prayers.  I know that I shouldn't be surprised, but just the same, I can't believe that it's been nearly two months since I wrote a Lesotho Update!  I am ashamed that we haven't made better use of your willingness to pray for us!

Here is a quick update of how God has answered your prayers, what we are doing, and what we need you to pray for:

Praise:

• When we last wrote, we asked you to pray for tent meetings at Matukeng and Ha Teko (neighboring villages where we live.)  The two weeks the tent was at Matukeng, people didn't respond well, but when we moved the tent to Ha Teko several people got spiritual help there.  Some are coming to church regularly in spite of persecution from their families.  
• We had a good Christmas Conference.  God worked in the hearts of people, and I noticed several people who received spiritual help.  One lady who had been backslidden for several years attended the conference and responded to an invitation to seek the Lord.  Two teenage boys that we've been praying for since they were small children went with us and enjoyed the conference.

Prayer:

• Please continue to pray for the pastors and the church as a whole.  Some are really struggling, and Satan is taking advantage of the situation to cause division and destruction.
• Please pray for a weekend tent meeting at Ha Thafeng this coming weekend (22nd to the 24th of January).  Also pray for Bro. Teboho, who has just started pastoring this new congregation.
• Pray for our refrigerator!  It stopped working the first week of January and is still in the shop for repairs.  Since we don't have electricity, it runs using propane and is prone to problems.
  
• Please pray for Rebecca Fetzer who just arrived last week to volunteer at the school in Ladybrand for three months

Thank you once again for your prayers and your interest in how God is building His Kingdom in Africa.  We really appreciate it!
