Update from the NT365 guys

Three of the NT365 Gap Year students, all guys, were deployed to nearby Southeast Asia country. Read some updates from their last couple weeks of ministry: 

We found 2 groups of young people & have been getting to know them really well. We have shared the truth/good news with them in all of its entirety. Many good, in-depth conversations have taken place. Pray that these seeds will continue to be nurtured & grow, bearing much fruit.

We've also been hanging out at a night market. We have met many people through this opportunity & had multiple follow up appointments with customers. Pray that we would view each of these "appointments" as divine appointments to share Truth.

Soccer is a popular local sport so we've started playing indoor soccer with a group of men. We plan to meet with them again before we leave & share the Good News with them. Pray for boldness as we share the greatest story every told.

On top of all this, we have formed a close relationships with the manager of a local coffee shop. We're meeting with him on a regular basis, giving him English lessons. Through these lessons we have read the Word, watched a Jesus film, & had many deep discussions about the Truth. Pray for a thirst to develop that can only be quenched by the Living Water.

Camiguin... the island born of fire!

L to R: Roy, Liza, Ace, Max & Samuel
Three of the AOT International participants were deployed to the island of Camiguin for the month of November. Ace, Samuel and Max with their national partners, Liza & Roy have spent the past few weeks going house to house, sharing the Good News. 

The team is currently focused on Village M which has a population of 995 people (as of 2020).  They are focusing on sharing the Gospel and conducting home Bible studies with those who are interested. This village has no evangelical church. Most of its residents are devoted Roman Catholics.. but thank God for His amazing work! We were able to connect with persons of peace and houses of peace... having regular Bible studies with most of them. 

On the 3rd week in the area, the team is praying that thru God’s help and guidance, the beginnings of a house church will be started.

Pray for true fruit that will remain from the Bible studies being conducted. Pray for believers who will stand firm in their new faith & be committed to continue to meet together.
