"Please join me in praying for the Muslim people group my ministry partner and I are looking for," missionary explorer Maggie Paige said. "Please ask the Lord to lead us to this group and to open many doors for His Word to be proclaimed. Please pray that our dependence will be solely on the Lord.

Those may include sweeping the courtyard with a straw broom; cooking meals over a fire; doing gardening or food preservation tasks; washing clothes by hand; mudding a house or wall; and, if a devout follower of Islam, stopping to pray during one or more of […]

Amina, a North African woman living in Sun City, works long hours in the medical field. A young woman who works for her invited her to her wedding, so Amina and her daughter attended.

Maria and Amina were able to meet later, and Maria shared the gospel with her. Amina later invited Maria and her family to her house for a meal. During the visit, Maria and her husband shared the gospel with the family, including Amina's husband. […]
