Proverbs (5 minute video)

Here is the latest prayer update from Arthur
Many thanks for your encouragement.
Arthur is grateful to be back in Benin safe and sound and with renewed zeal for his work with the Christian Unions! His experience is appreciated by the new General Secretary. No sign of a replacement!
Pray
- he may find volunteers to help in visiting schools. Pray that groups start up without delay.
- for the preparation of suitable Bible study outlines.
- for boys with Arthur not yet committed to Christ and for “family” prayers at 9 45 p.m. each night.
- for his three boys who have finished their secondary education with success: in economics, in industrial electricity, in hotel management and catering, with no obvious openings….
Also you can still watch the interview with Arthur here.
