A small village in the Philippines asked to hear evangelistic Bible lessons and two Tala Andig couples have taken on the task.
More than 30 Tala Andig Bible teachers currently teach in about 20 villages and schools each week. The men and women are excited to be able to tell their Tala Andig brothers and sisters about Jesus.
Some of the villages are 30 miles (50 km.) away and the Bible teachers use motorbikes to travel to their classes. They face bad weather and even danger of being attacked on the road in order to bring the Gospel message to other villages.
One small remote village has struggled with poverty because of enemies who plot against them. They are also fearful of all those who live around them but they wanted to hear God's Word.
Marison, Asyung, Jupi, and Gagang have taken the challenge and are going to the village each Thursday. The women teach the children in the school building and the men are teaching the adults in one of the homes.
Last month someone told them they would be marked with 666 if they listened and their tendency to fear everything caused many to stop attending the teaching. The missionaries talked with them and they were reassured and returned to the teaching.
Pray that the Tala Andig villagers will continue to listen to the Words of Truth and will trust in the One who gives peace and freedom from fear. Pray also for the Tala Andig teachers who faithfully teach the Gospel message.
