Single Line Fishing

This Aneuk Jamee youth is fishing off a cliff. He had not caught anything, but was hopeful that the fish would start biting soon. Many Sumatrans fish for their livelihood, but even those who don’t often enjoy dropping a line in the water.

Many of the first followers of Jesus were fishermen, and Jesus promised them they would be made to be fishers of men. While fishers of fish often employ nets to catch many fish at once, the fishers of men on Sumatra are finding that mouth to ear sharing of the Good News is more effective than sharing to masses of people.

The problem with mouth to ear sharing is only a few people hear at a time. This is problematic if only a few people are out fishing for souls. If Sumatra is going to be reached with the Gospel, all of the believers need to be trained and encourage to go fishing. With a million lines in the water the chances of reaching the lost becomes much better. When the church works together the body always increases. God has made it a sure principle.

Pray for believers who are fearful to share.

Pray for workers to be faithful to train other believers.

Pray for new believers to be trained and to start sharing the Gospel immediately with their friends and family.

Pray for the Aneuk Jamee to have the opportunity to hear the Good News.
