Prayers

Pray for Andrew and Noel as they reach out to their students, the vast majority of whom come from Buddhist homes. Ask that God would give the Schaffs strength and boldness to proclaim the Gospel, and that He would soften the hearts of their students and those who attend the Friday night Bible study so that they might come to trust in Jesus as their Savior. Let us give thanks to God that the Schaffs are serving His people in this part of the world.
