Drama Evangelism Weekend Trip

Dear prayer warriors,
Next weekend team 1 has the opportunity to travel to a city in the Northwest Province called Bamenda to do outreaches all day Saturday the 14th! We'll be hosted by Wycliffe missionaries Chris and Karen Jackson, whose daughter is a part of the team. We anticipate this being an exhausting but thrilling weekend as we see what God has in store for the people in Bamenda he brings to watch the dramas. Please pray:
for Chris as he sets up venues and works out details that even now God would be preparing hearts for good health for all of us for safe travels for unity, mutual love and encouragement within our team for extra strength for the students and advisors as we need to get ahead on school work before the weekend for God to fill the students with boldness and with His very words as they share with people after the dramas. Since this is an English speaking region, they'll all be able to be involved!

Hopefully I'll be able to follow this up with more specific details before we leave once I've heard more about our specific venues. Thanks for your work for God's kingdom through your prayers!
Rejoicing in every oppotunity to share Christ's love, Liz for the team

Yay God! -- Hope services update

Dear prayer team,
Rejoice with us at what God accomplished on Saturday at the Hope Services outreach! Although most of us showed up exhausted after a busy week of school and activities, God's strength and grace once again proved to be more than sufficient. The team performed the best we've ever seen them despite the fact that we had a last minute sub from team 2 due to the sickness of one member of team 1(Jessica Pyles).
As we performed, more and more people gathered, especially people from the neighborhood who were passing just outside the open gate of Hope Services.
In fact, most of them stayed for the gospel presentation and many of them prayed to receive Christ! We also had many opportunities to pray for sick people and encourage Christians who had been floundering in their faith.
Hope Services has a pastor on duty every day from 8-5 and Bible teachings every Tuesday evening. Those who received the Lord will have ample opportunities to grow in the Lord and have their questions answered. Please pray that they will take the initiative to do so.
Other prayer items:
good follow up in general--there were also some visiting the clinic not from the neighborhood for those who didn't receive Christ-- that God will continue working in their hearts for good health spiritually and physically for our team members that God will bless the amazing ministry Hope Services has, and that many will continue to come to Christ through the devoted brothers and sisters working there

Thanks for your part in sharing the gospel though lifting us up in prayer.
ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO OUR AWESOME SAVIOR!!!
Liz for the team

Outreach Tomorrow!

Sorry for the late notice! The original outreach we had planned for tomorrow fell through and I didn't find out until yesterday that our new location was confirmed. We'll be performing at Hope Services medical clinic, a Christian clinic where the gospel is ministered to patients along with medical care. We've worked with them several times before and look forward to seeing what God will do. Typically we end up securing an audience of the patients in the waiting room, some who are well enough to get up from their hospital beds and some passersby from the streets who respond to our invitation. This will be team 1's first performance and many of them are feeling a bit unprepared since we've had a hard time pulling together review practices with this week's busy schedule at school. Please
pray:
that God will calm their nerves and help them remember their cues that He will draw people to the clinic who He wants to see the dramas and touch their hearts with His love for good functioning sound equipment for protection and good health for all the participants (there has been a flu bug going around school this week!) Thanks so much for your prayer.
For His glory,
Liz

Outreach Update

We could definitely saw God move in a powerful way in response to your prayers! At 3:30, about a half an hour before the outreach, it started raining. The sky cleared up and we had perfect weather when it was time to start. Some kids from Ceci's Bible club sang and then the choir from her church. Then it was time to present the dramas. I know the kids were a bit nervous since they were performing for the first time, but they did an amazing job. One of the boys told me afterwards that he was shaking badly when he walked out to the grassy patch in Ceci's courtyard which was our stage, but as soon as the music started, he felt total peace. Praise God for His faithfulness to meet us in our need!
After the dramas, the choir sang another song which perfectly matched the gospel message portrayed in our dramas, and then Pastor Gado preached a message. I'm not even sure how many people gave their hearts to Christ for the first time, but it was probably between 10-20. We joined our Cameroonian brothers and sisters who were helping host the event for counseling and prayer of those who had prayed to receive Christ. Ceci has already started visiting people and hopefully many of them will joing the Wednesday night prayer group that meets at her house. Two different Christians approached me and said that they were moved to tears and encouraged in their faith by this portrayal of Christ's sacrifice.
Praise God for moving the hearts of His own children and drawing more people into a relationship with Him!
Please pray
for God to water the seeds that have been planted so they can grow and these new brothers and sisters can be rooted and established in His love for strength and wisdom for Ceci and others who will be following up that the cast will grow in their own love for and knowledge of Christ through the privilege of serving Him in this way

We're supposed to have an outreach Oct. 31 with team 1, but we've run into a little glitch. Please pray that it will get sorted out.

You are a part of this harvest through your prayers so join with us in rejoicing at what God has done!
All for His glory,
Liz for the team

T1 Hour and Counting Until First Drama Outreach!

I meant to remind you all that today is our first drama evangelism outreach, but in trying to spare you the introduction letter I sent to all the students' prayer partners, I forgot. Even if you get this after the outreach, you can still pray!
-that the Holy Spirit will continue to work in the hearts of those who were at the outreach but didn't commit their lives to Him -that God cause the seeds that were planted to take root and grow in people's hearts, protecting them from being snatched away by the enemy -that the students involved will grow in their faith and love for Jesus as they see His heart for the people they minister to

Thanks! Update to follow.

Update from Cameroon

Hi all,
Sorry this is the first official newsletter in months. I figured that since I was sending out drama updates you at least knew I hadn't fallen off the face of the earth! I couldn't be here without your love and support.
In Christ who is more than enough,
Liz
