    1/2

    Dear Pastors, Prayer Partners & Donors, Greetings in the Name of Jesus.If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt. 17:20.

    Christian African women are standing in the gap by praying, fasting, entreating the Lord obehalf of their families and village people. African witchcraft has not only witchdoctors, (men), bu

    sangomas, (female witchdoctors), who are spreading gross wickedness, dark sayings, death andestruction, causing the people to live in fear. The witchdoctors are in control spiritual head of thvillage, the village is forced to obey without question. The King or Chief allows this, it lets him off thhook if things go wrong bad crops no rain etc, he blames the witchdoctor, who in turn blames thpeople for not obeying him.

    Children are abused in many ways. With the strong influence of Islam taking over in Africsome of the African tribes are practicing female circumcision on girls aged 9 14. Families sell thedaughters to older men who pay a dowry (blankets, tobacco, cattle sheep, goats, etc) to the childfather. The wedding takes place, the witchdoctor will have the first 3 nights with the young (chilbride to approve the marriage, and then the husband takes her. After that she becomes the property the village men she has no right to her body. If she goes to milk the cow or goat, draw water, or eve

    out looking for a stray animal, she could encounter a man in her path. If he stops her, she has to submto him before she can go on her way. She has no feeling or emotion and eventually becomes likezombie, in order to survive

    Prayer & fasting: CFAM has preached and taught the Word by a daily Kingdom Walk, not only bprayer & fasting, but demonstrating on our knees through prayer, coming against the wickedness high places (spiritual warfare) Isa. 54:17, 2 Cor. 10:4-6. Building churches where abused hurting peopfind a refuge and help. Pastors, members and churches have suffered for helping the needy. Over thyears, the Lord has intervened in many miraculous ways to save, to heal and to deliver. We do not havenough space to share the powerful testimonies how angels have protected workers, provided wateand food that has never dried up, where wicked men and women stopped Christians drawing watefrom the local wells; When they tried to sell their goods to local stores, they were threatened. Aft

    prayer & fasting, God intervened, store owners bought from Christians; Ladies, although tested antried for their faith, showed these women love, ministering to the unsaved villagers. Prov. 16:7b.

    Prayer Changes Things

    Womans Outreaches: Are praying and fasting, seeking the face of God; over the many years, we catestify that the ministry is growing steadily. The Lord is doing great things. They are role models to thunsaved women. When these women get saved we teach them that scripturally, their bodies are thtemple of the Holy Spirit and they belong to God. They are precious in Gods eyes. They do not have tsubmit themselves to anyone except their husband. They usually walk to the village in groups of two three, and when stopped by a man, they testify of the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and they are nmolested in any way. Praise the Lord.

    Womens Ministry II - Making a Difference

    The Corn Grinder Ministry has played an important part inthe salvation of unsaved women and their families. Donkey Taxishave become a tool of Evangelism, bringing the sick and elderly totown to hear the gospel while their corn is ground for free. When thewomen are saved they attend Discipleship training, and we equipthem to reach their husbands and family to Christ. Their hearts andlives are changed. There is a desire to do more for the Lord in theircommunity; their self esteem grows, as they see how God uses themto be a vital part in the churchs outreach ministry.

    Women - Making a Differencehy We Must Evangelize Third World Women: SHE IS DELICATE SHE IS A YOUNG HEATHEN WOMAN SHE IS

    WORTH VERY LITTLE - SHE IS PRECIOUS & BLOOD BOUGHT: As sad as was her life before marriage, her misery isincreased ten-fold after marriage. From then on she is his slave. Her life consists of bearing children and doingall the work. Her master and husband may be a chief who has many wives, and does not even know how manychildren he has. Even death offers her no relief. Not knowing what awaits beyond the grave, she looks towardit with a superstitious dread, and her sad, sad life ends in a hopeless eternity. Women who marry ordinaryvillage men share the same fate. In Africa it is not uncommon to find a starving mother and her child. She isthinking also of her baby, she knows that they will both starve. It takes little imagination to think what thefuture holds for them

    SANGOMAS PRAYING AIDS VICTIMS OLD AFRICAN WOMAN HUSBAND & WIFE

    It would not be appropriate to describe all the human degradation, suffered daily by the women of theheathen world. Thousands of girls are sold into lives of prostitution by their parents. In a recent civil war in

    Africa, tens of thousands of girls were raped repeatedly. They live miserable lives in ill repute and shame. Noman will marry them after their violation/disgrace. In Africa an old woman of twenty-five or so , may besold or given away to anyone who will take her, so that her husband will not be burdened with her. He hasyounger wives of twelve, thirteen, or sixteen years of age to bear children and do his work. The challengecomes to the hearts of the church ladies and our hearts They go, they tell them, they win them, & establishthem in their new faith in Jesus. (Discipleship/Soul Winning). Christian ladies, consider What has madeour lot so different? Nothing but the Gospel! What the Gospel has done for us in the West, it is able to do forour African sisters in the developing world. Hear the Masters Call today Freely you have received, freelygive. Matt. 10:8b. Your designated mission offering goes directly for evangelization/training of women.Thank You God Bless You.
