Q – losing weight and ill
From a team leader: Recently family members were allowed to briefly visit Q. He’s lost weight and is sick with chest inflammation due to the cold weather. He’s been seen by the jail doctor and was finally given treatment 2 days after the doctor’s diagnosis! The family is trying to send warm clothes to him […]
Q – Release refused
From a team leader: On his 29th day in prison the government refuses to release Q despite having accommodations all arranged by the UN. Please pray for Q’s strength, his family and his release. The Apostle Paul, imprisoned in Rome, called himself “a prisoner for the Lord.” We can understand he was imprisoned because of […]
Completely unengaged
A team leader: The Yemeni Arabs of Djibouti are unreached. In fact, they are completely unengaged, to my knowledge. They represent not only thousands of families living in Djibouti, but a vital link to one of the most dangerous, Al Qaeda ridden strongholds on planet earth. Please join the Live Dead Africa leadership team as […]
Q – 22 days
From a team leader: This is Q’s 22nd day in prison for his faith. His wife was able to visit him a few days back. He has lost weight. Please pray he is released soon, that his needs are met, that he is filled with the Spirit and faith and that his testimony brings Jesus […]
Beginning of deep sharing
From a team leader: We hit the ground here in October. Almost immediately we were receiving calls from our friends welcoming us back into the country. (News travels fast in a small country; cell phones are as ubiquitous as poverty.) Within weeks, we had many face-to-face visits with old friends. Our language is so rusty, […]
Q – Prayer will move them
From a team leader: We’ve heard the UN is initiating negotiations to try to get Q released and resettled with his family. People who in one way or another can support the situation in a positive way are being contacted. Family has tried to see Q, but this has most likely not succeeded. The night […]
Q arrested
From a team leader: We’ve written of our friend Q, a fellow believer who had his citizenship revoked in July. He’s been working with the UN to get his family resettled in safer country. Unfortunately that process has been slow. Last Saturday, Q was arrested and is still detained. His family cannot visit him but […]
All in two days
A team member: I just put a Bible in the hands of a man who has never held one before. He is not a Christian but he was so excited to get it he said, “I will read the whole thing in 2 days.” Pray for God’s story to shine clearly! […]
Benny the trash truck
From a team member: One of the ways I can interact with neighbors is when Benny Majaya comes. Benny Majaya is the local name for the trash truck. A long horn blast says Benny is near—bring your trash now or risk waiting a few days to get rid of it. We all run through our […]
