AFRICA:Known by his deedsEmmanuel’s life was characterized by using black magic, stealing, cheating people, lying, and fornicating. Then, he says, a strange thing happened. A Christian from the local church visited Emmanuel and told him about Christ. Emmanuel reacted in anger. How surprised he was when the Christian returned the next day. This Christian came four times, each time sharing with

Pray for migrant workers in China. These migrant workers are in search of jobs to feed their families.
