July Missions Message
July 1st we celebrated Pastor Marilyn’s 90th birthday! She is our mentor and example for getting the Word to the World! Her vision is God’s vision and it has been multiplied in our missionaries and in their supporters. Thank you for being part of the team of faithful goers and senders! You are appreciated!

Below I have shared a brief summary of praise and prayer items from 7 of our missionaries.

Love and Prayers,
Frieda
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...
Bob and JoAnn Atherton:
International

Praising God for:
80 Pastors in India every other week receiving the teaching and training via Zoom. 
25 Pastors at B.O. College in Kenya receiving Sunrise teaching/training.

Prayer: 
Jo Ann’s shoulder replacement surgery – Aug. 26 – believing for supernatural healing so I can cancel the surgery.
David Henderson:
Spain

We were asked to take down the fund raising thermometer we had placed at the front of the sanctuary! Praise God; during the four years we have ministered in Lleida we have prayed for this debt of 104,000 Euros to be paid—it is done! Praise God with us!
Davison and Yana Mzezewa-Zhou:
Vision Trust Zimbabwe

In a number of our other countries, in-person gatherings continue to be on pause due to high COVID-19 numbers and government restrictions on gatherings – we are so thankful that is not the case in Zimbabwe and that our VisionTrust leaders there are able to gather with the children and support their health, educational and spiritual needs. Praise God!
Fungai and Esther Chasi:
Zimbabwe

Thanks to your generous gifts the clinic is operational again! Global Aid Missions joined the rest of the world in commemorating the International Albinism Awareness Day on June 13th. 
Pray for us to: 
Show that people with albinism were made to defy all odds
Celebrate how people with albinism worldwide meet and exceed expectations in all domains of life.
William and Abigail Makina:
Zimbabwe

We, the Body of Christ in Revival Ministries are all well despite the Covid Regulations. Church programs are progressing smoothly. The only ministry that has been halted is Evangelism because we cannot take more than 50 people per service. We praise God who has kept us safe and secure in his care during this pandemic. 
Nelson and Beloved Nnannah:
Nigeria

Beloved and I are doing well and the Lord is helping us in Nigeria with our assignment. Please pray for us and Nigeria because of the insurgency and political unrest. We need God's protection for us and the nations.
Jerry and Jana Lackey:
Botswana

Our mission has been the same from the very beginning: Developing Leaders For Africa. Hundreds of thousands of young people have been impacted by the work of Love Botswana through sharing the Gospel, helping them make more informed decisions when it comes to issues of substance and alcohol abuse, relationships and sex. The average African child has many obstacles to face in order to walk in their true identity in God. We are honored to be an instrument of empowerment and transformation among our children and youth.
