Calhoun Church supports African evangelist to Muslims

Our Tuesday night prayer group enjoyed a fantastic, uplifting time recently when Isaac & Fatou Daye of West Africa joined us in our regular prayer time.

Isaac, a World Radio speaker in Liberia, preaches in an area of Africa that's 90% Muslim. His program, called "Search", airs two times a week - once in English and once in the Mandika language.

Along with his radio work, he travels throughout several countries in the area and preaches while his courageous wife and family pray for his safety while he's gone.

In our group he made a comment that echoed Scripture-"For your sake we face death all day long." (Romans 8:36.) He remarked that death could come to him at any time.

One very effective way Isaac reaches souls is through World Bible School, a program we're familiar with here at Calhoun as one of our families, the Lovelands, use it to try and win souls throughout area prisons.

In a recent report Isaac stated:

"Our visit to Liberia was climaxed with a two-day seminar and graduation for WBS students with an average attendance of 175 students, many wearing their WBS t-shirts, and coming from all walks of life and denominations. What brought them together was their desire to learn the truth and our willingness to teach them.

"Nine WBS students give their life to Christ and were baptized in the Atlantic Ocean. The heavy ocean waves could not stop these nine souls from being baptized as they counted their salvation more important than possibly being drowned by the ocean waves.

"Our WBS office in Liberia recorded 5,000 enrolments and 89 baptisms before our arrival, and before we left this number rose to 98."

Not only are we keeping Isaac and his family in our prayers, but we're also financially supporting his radio program in the Gambia. May the Lord continue to bless the work of this wonderful family.
