Please pray for Matt Chancey and my brother Brad Phillips of the Persecution Project Foundation as they bring aid, support, and Gospel encouragement in the very troubled portions of the Sudan. Here is a note we received today:

“In Kibera, Africa’s largest slum, raw sewage flows in the middle of the narrow streets and lanes. Over 1 million people are crammed in this huge shanty town. A family of 6 will easily live in a room 10X10. We delivered a bunch of medicine to the Revival Family Clinic— an oasis in Kibera where people can go for affordable medical treatment. It is run by a pastor, who has been in the community for 25 years. What I loved most of all was playing with the children. They were all so happy and loved posing for pictures.”

Please Pray for Dr. Joe Morecraft, one of the great heroes of the faith alive today, as he recovers from a very painful knee replacement surgery. His precious daughter, Mercy, sent a note of encouragement today with some remarkable pictures of Dr. Joe’s “battle scars.” I have not included the images, but here is the note:

“Dad wanted me to share with you how “gorgeous” his battle scar looks. This was just taken today, so looks much better than when he first came out of surgery. And then, of course, there is a picture of him smiling, so as to reassure his grandchildren that everything, is going to be alright.”

Please pray for the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. It is just a few weeks away and our biggest SAICFF to date. We want every element to give glory to the Lord and we desire His blessing and favor on our efforts.
