An East Africa Live Dead team family shared this experience and prayer request. Many years ago, we were challenged to “abide in the Lord” as J3sus commanded in John 15. The challenge was to spend extravagant time with J3sus each day to produce lasting fruit. The discipline of abiding has been learned in “fits and […]

Seekers under a crescent moon
Our three youngest children commented on the beautiful crescent moon. It was unusually striking. The first sighting of the crescent moon ushers in Ramadan. Ramadan is the month long celebration where M*sl_ms fast during daylight hours. Many from our nation prepared by loading up on special foods and gifts to take back to their loved […]
Speak with great boldness
Pray for the people of the country where this East Africa Live Dead team family live. This summer has been filled with uncertainty for the people of this country. Many demonstrations have happened in the streets where we live. The reason for the demonstrations comes from dissatisfaction with deteriorating life conditions. Two inches of rain […]
Because of the relationship, she listened
A full year was invested in a close friendship before finding an opening to share the Good News with an East African M*sl_m lady who heard it for the first time. The summer is fully upon us. God provided a very special open door during my last week in country. I’ve written before about my […]
Power, love and truth
Our Live Dead East Africa team members bring deliverance in the power, love and truth of the Good News. The home of a M*sl_m family was full of strange, seemingly demonic activity. Furniture would move in the night. Things spontaneously ignited, destroying possessions. Large sums paid to their religious leaders brought no relief. The family […]
Meet each little one’s longings
An East African Live Dead team family recently returned to Africa. Shortly before they left, they wrote: Time is a funny thing. A year can feel long and short! It has been a wonderful and memorable whirlwind of a year in the States. In the midst of packing up everything a family of seven needs […]
Ferry tragedy off Zanzibar
Please pray for the families of those who died when a large ferry carrying an estimated 290 people including 31 children capsized Wednesday off the coast of Zanzibar. Reports estimate nearly 70 dead and more than a 100 missing. Numbers in these situations are often grossly underestimated because passengers are often not listed on the […]
Encourage her
From East Africa Live Dead team leader Scott Hanson: Friends, please pray for our daughter Megan. A little over three months ago she fell off a horse and sprained her wrist. She is still in pain. Megan is in the middle of a school transition and loves sports. This injury is discouraging to her. Appreciate […]
Sweet Truth
An East Africa Live Dead team member wrote: Peter was a devout M*sl_m. One day a foreigner befriended him. Peter decided to convert him to I_l@m. Yet, over time, the Chr!st!an man’s lifestyle profoundly affected Peter. One day the foreigner gave Peter a B!ble and he read it. Overcome by its sweetness, he knew he […]
Suddenly!
Fourteen months of traveling from church to church, fourteen months of endlessly repeating the story of God’s call to East Africa, fourteen months of tirelessly asking for financial and prayer partners, suddenly they reach the finish line. Suddenly, it’s really time to leave: family and friends, culture, language, most possessions. An East Africa Live Dead […]
