… PRAYER FOCUS:
Gary
and Mary Reid would value prayer for two of the men who have taken a stand
against taking part in cultural rituals, Terere and Letasuna. Terere and his wives were put out of the homestead, due to
his stand against sinful cultural practices, but his wives were allowed back
home after he went to see the chief.
However, there will be the customary procedures to go through to see if
he can go back home. Letasuna
too has had problems for not following the rituals of offerings etc. which the Oloiboni would carry out.
Now one of his wives (who comes to church with
him) is very ill. Pray for all those who
have taken a stand against sinful cultural practices and are attending church
also for the Reid family to be given wisdom for the different circumstances,
cultural situations and problems that arise.
Pray that the Reids will have success in
finding a reliable landrover at a reasonable price.
