“Like a mighty army moves the church of God.
Brothers we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we.
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity;”
This old hymn by Arthur S. Sullivan and Sabine Baring-Gould is called “Onward Christian Soldiers.” Praise God for His global church advancing the Gospel in areas where it has not been preached. Pray for Team Expansion soldiers and saints to be united in their efforts so that the body of Christ endures.
Praise God for multiplying the work in Laos! Teams of Laos national missionaries are being launched from a second sending base in central Laos. Arriving in T village of the Yoy people, the team visited on man who believed on the last trip. They were happy to find he had already thrown away all of his idols and fully left the spirits. He agreed to be baptized, and they baptized him that day. Praise God for this new baptized believer and pray for deep rooted faith.
Pray for the people of Taiwan. Materialism is one of the great barriers to the Good News. Many people are very focused on their career, on their children’s education, and on how to live the most affluent life possible.
