English Opens Doors

The young woman on the right is currently studying at University to become an English teacher. When she saw the opportunity to sit with a native English speaker, she was very excited. Many people on Sumatra are interested in learning English. Some are interested because of the freedom of expression that they see in American culture, and not all of that is good.  Some are interested because they see English as a tool to become more marketable in business, or to get ahead in life. Some are interested because they see foreigners as an opportunity to make money. Regardless of why they are interested, the fact remains that many Sumatrans are interested. This opens doors for Americans visiting or living on Sumatra to share truth.

Pray that native English speakers will have wisdom to capitalize on the interest that Sumatrans have in learning English to share truth with them.

Pray for volunteers to come who have a heart for the Lord and for the peoples of Sumatra.

Pray these volunteers will see the open doors that their English gives to them and will be willing to let people practice English with them.

Pray that God will give wisdom to believers to see where God is working and not spend too much of their time teaching English to those who are not interested in truth.
