Daily life

By Sarah Bedi

Thank you so much for praying with me this past month. Many of you also sent me some names so that I could join you in praying in how God could use us to bless those around us! Feel free to send any updates or more requests! Here are some updates from this side!

Monday nights are used for language practice, homework help, computer training and simply community building. Sajid and a couple of his friends recently taught us how to play cricket! Please pray for Sajid as he looks for a place to live so that his wife and daughter can move here from Pakistan.
Marziyeh, Aziyeh and Roqiyeh are three Afghani sisters that have become dear friends. They recently made this dessert with the Swedish word for friendship for us! Thankful for them! Please pray for their needs to be met, both the physical such as jobs and studies to go well, but also spiritual.
Feras, Yasamin and three children were over recently for a cook out. We are getting to spend time with them two to three times a month. Feras has expressed interest in learning what the Bible has to say. Please pray that we would get to start this month! Side note, Feras is a trainer for kickboxing and Yasamin is a black belt in Taekwondo…so we may also get some personal training in this summer!
I am super sad that our training with the Italien team has come to an end. It has been a great gift to meet with them biweekly these months and see them grow in confidence and competence in discipleship. They have started their own training locally giving away what they got! There have been 4 new groups that have started and a handful of people that have decided to follow Jesus. Super blessed to have gotten to know them and will look forward to a visit when we are allowed to travel!
Tuesday nights is ladies night! Specifically designed to be a safe community for women of all backgrounds to come and encounter Jesus so that we can grow as his daughters. It is a blessing to fellowship with these ladies from the neighborhood. Please pray that our other friends would have curious hearts to come and fellowship with us!
This year I have decided to learn about dough and bake bread almost weekly now. It ends up being a great gift to neighbors and makes home smell welcoming. I am also reminded that it only takes a little yeast to effect a whole batch. May the small steps we take today impact our entire neighborhoods for Jesus’s glory!
This ministry is only made possible because of your generosity! With the increase in the work, I am looking to decrease the teaching job to 50% this August. It would mean an additional $300 a month to make sure all the bills are paid. Would you pray for God to raise up monthly supporters?
Thank you!!!
