Recent praise reports and prayer requests from NCN News, Nazarene Missions International, and JESUS Film Harvest Partners include:

PRAISES  

JESUS Film - Cuba

“My husband felt trapped,” said a wife in Cuba. “He felt empty and without a purpose for living. He was addicted to alcohol using all our money to the point of debt. This addiction caused him problems in life, work, and in our family. I prayed for him constantly. He started to have extramarital relations. We were on the brink of divorce. He tried to turn his life around many times, but it was not possible. When he watched the JESUS film, he found himself in Christ. He accepted Jesus as his Savior. He immediately abandoned the wrong ways in his life and is serving the Lord. Our marriage is stable and happy. We go to church together regularly.”

JESUS Film - DRC

“The ladies are working hard,” said Mastaki in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “Many faiths do not allow women to be leaders. I have seen the effectiveness of the women who work with the JESUS film and it’s an encouragement to me.”

HEALTH-RELATED REQUESTS

Bangladesh pastors

Two pastors in Bangladesh had a motorbike accident on the way to a meeting this week and one is in critical condition.

John Anderson

Retired missionary John Anderson has fast-growing esophageal cancer and the family has been told to enjoy the next few weeks together. As the doctor was delivering the news, John said, “I’ve spent my life telling others about Jesus and I am ready.” The doctor quickly responded, “I am an Egyptian Christian and I grew up with missionaries who are in Egypt in secret.” The Andersons served in India for 32 years.

Sylvia Potter

Sylvia Potter, the 6-year-old daughter of Joel and Bekah Potter, underwent open-heart surgery March 8 to close two small holes in her heart she's had since birth. Both holes were successfully closed and while there is still some concern for her aortic valve, which does not close completely, her parents will talk to the doctor about that later. Sylvia is the granddaughter of missionaries Jim and Kathy Radcliffe (Papua New Guinea) and David and Sylvia Potter (Vanuatu).

BEREAVEMENT

Friday Ganda's father

The father of missionary Friday Ganda passed away March 4, just months after Friday's brother also died. Friday and his wife, Mary, serve in Burundi.
