Sad to say, I only have 11 days left here. Some exciting thing have been happening at the Oasis recently, though! Remember Aminat, the Chechen lady I've been helping with German? She's been coming to Coffee Bar for a couple months now, but has always refused to watch the Jesus film because she's a strong Muslim. Last night a few new teenage girls from Chechnya were thrilled to hear that we had a movie in their language and convinced Ami to watch it with them! Please pray that the Lord will continue to work in her heart as she thinks about what she saw. Also, a friend of mine from Pakistan has chosen to follow the Lord Jesus! My team leader, Tom, carefully explained to him the cost of leaving Islam and confirmed that he was willing to pay that cost. His family and friends will likely shun him as an infidel and may even try to kill him. Please pray for him to grow in his faith and to stay strong in opposition. A third friend, a young man from Chechnya, has been hanging around the Oasis for a while now and has watched both the Jesus film in Chechen and The Passion in Russian a dozen times. He keeps bringing new friends to watch the films and seems pretty eager to spend time with the team. Please pray that his interest will turn into genuine faith. God is moving!
