September, 2012 Prayer requests

I was reading an article today about a seminary in another part of Africa that is training church leaders in sound Biblical doctrine. One of the students commented on how common it is in their country to hear incorrect theology preached because pastors and leaders have not had adequate training. I thought about how most Beng Christians have not had access to Bible classes and prayed that God would lead them to a correct understanding of His Word. Then it hit me... not only do Beng Christians not have access to Bible classes, they don't even have access to a Bible in their language. Imagine your life as a believer in Christ without having God's Word to live by. Can you even imagine it? A few books of the Bible and various other portions of Scripture have been translated into the Beng language, but much remains to be done before the Beng have a complete Old and New Testament in their language. Let's pray this month that some day Beng Christians will have access to the entire Word of God in their heart language.
