Missions Update
Please pray for Phil and Elin Henderson as they serve the Mwinka people in Mozambique. Pray for the three ladies’ groups to continue to grow in their faith and for the new Bible study that Phil began. Pray for the new literacy classes, the couples’ discipleship teams, and for the Scripture recordings to be used in powerful ways among the Mwinka people. Please pray for Elin’s upcoming cancer checks in the U.S. and for strength for Phil who is alone in the village. Praise God for safety in their travels, for a blessed time with the Latin American teams, for the salvation and transformation among the Mwinka, for the Bible teachers (Lydias), and for the long-awaited completion of their house!
