District 13
198 people trained in 14 villages. Persecution hit the villages last month, and the training had to be shifted to different villages several times. No one was harmed, and the Church has been more persistent in praying. A sister was healed of acute stiffness and pain in her joints and has been a testimony to many. She now witnesses openly of her Healer and Lord. Recently two business men have offered to help with the resources for the training to one of the supervisors. 30 house groups formed, and 20 Churches started in May and June.
District 14
196 people trained in 18 villages. Typhoid has hit this district, and many among the Churches are sick. Please pray, as some of the children and mothers are seriously ill. We were able to access lot of villages this month with which we had little or no access. There is no doubt or question that people are being freed from the clutches of the Satan through deliverance, healing, and above all, the word of God. This district is known to be the remotest of all among the tribal belt. The Hindu fundamentalists have been trying to convert these Animists into idol worshipers. Also, a man was delivered from demons, and his sister was healed completely of paralysis; then, the whole house hold of 19 people accepted the Lord and opened their home for worship as a result of the miracle. 25 house groups formed, and 19 Churches started in May and June.
District 15
186 people trained in 16 villages. The trainers are having a tough time because of the rain yet are not giving up and the rivers are running above the danger mark. People are fleeing from villages to take shelter in higher areas. Please pray for the conditions to be easier so our work can go smoothly. Persecution has continued in this district for the last three and a half months, resulting in a little slower work progress. A poor farmer who was listening to one of the trainings heard that the Lord is all powerful and all knowing. That evening, he asked his neighbor if his God is all knowing, then He would surely know where to dig a well in order to get water. The neighbor took the farmer to the trainer, and the trainer prayed. The next day, when they began digging the well, the men got right into a sweet water stream. 27 house groups formed, and 22 churches started in May and June.
District 16
166 people trained in 18 villages. A volunteer who had been helping us died in a bus-jeep collusion. Please pray for his family. A farmer was healed of a rare long-term fever and accepted the Lord with his family. Two trainers are sick with high fever and stomach infection; please pray for them. The district is also experiencing chicken pox; many children and women have been sick with this infection. 31 house groups formed, and 21 churches started in May and June.
