Dear Prayer Partners,
"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (NIV Matthew 5:15-16)
We expect your prayers this month to cause the light of the Gospel to shine to many language groups in Thailand through GRNT's recordings. May they see GRNT's good deeds too and glorify our Father in heaven.
May you be encouraged in your lives as you lift our prayer requests to the Lord each day this month. We thank God for you!
