Thank You, Lord! We have witnessed miracles and powerful testimonies that are strengthening the church. Our God is alive and moving!

TESTIMONY

On August 6, 2026, Sister Nene Abona’s lolo in Toboso was hit by a motorcycle. He suffered a serious wound on his head that required 15 stitches. The brethren immediately gathered in prayer, interceding for him and declaring healing in the Name of Jesus. When we visited him the following day, we were amazed to see him strong and well, as if nothing had happened. This testimony reminded us of the power of prayer and the faithfulness of God. We praise God for His protection and healing. To God be all the glory! He is our Great Healer!

PRAYER REQUESTS

• That the brethren will continue to grow in their faith.

• That we can disciple more people to live like Jesus.

• That the Lord will intervene in what is happening around the world as evil continues to spread.

• That the brethren will remain strong in the hardships they are facing.

• That all believers in Jesus will be united in evangelism, soulwinning, and discipleship.

CLOSING NOTE

We give all glory to God for His continued faithfulness in our ministry this month. We remain grateful for every life touched, every heart renewed, and every opportunity to serve. May we continue to walk in obedience, passion, and unity as we advance God’s kingdom.

In Christ,
