Joe and Austia have begun the second phase of their language learning and have their original helper, Samira, back. Samira invited the team to her village for two days during a recent celebration thus deepening the relationship with her and her extended family. Pray they will boldly proclaim the gospel to cousins, friends, lift up their needs, and that Jesus be recognized for healings and miracles prayed in His name.
