July 10, 2019

Presently Global Missions is ministering in 46 countries.

Missionaries Tom and Sherry Moore share: “We praise God for His goodness to us. We have been overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of love, encouragement, and generosity from our Open Bible family and friends around the world. God has reaffirmed to us that He isn’t finished with us yet! The enemy has tried to discourage us numerous times during this journey with some setbacks, but God has His hand on us. He has touched Tom and He continues to provide for our every need. We want to thank everyone who has covered us with prayer and financial help during this time. We are grateful!”

Northern Mexico
Missionaries Bill and Fayth McConnell and Del and Joy Brown visit the women’s prison each Wednesday for a Bible study. Fayth shares: “Our time at the women’s prison last week went really well. Normally we hold a Bible study with the women; however, I left my Bible and the workbook on my table after studying that morning for the Bible study. God had other plans. That morning I shared for a few minutes about how important worship is and why. We sang worship songs and I asked the women to worship in their own words to God. It was really powerful and the Spirit was moving. We placed a chair facing Bill so that he could pray over any of the women who chose to be prayed for. All but one woman went to be prayed for. During the last 15 minutes of our time with the women some of them shared how God has touched their lives. We decided to do worship again next week. All of the women were open to singing and praising the Lord. The women are really hungry for more of God. Please pray for the women in our Bible study at the prison and for God to begin to prepare the hearts of the women we have not yet had in our Bible study that they will be ready to hear His Word.”

Missionaries Drew and Jessica Welch share: “Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Liberia, who are experiencing severe inflation, up 133 percent over the past 5 years. The economic distress has resulted in more protests as the people struggle to feed their families. We are believing God for many souls to come into the kingdom of God through this hardship and experience the riches of Jesus Christ.”
