My Asian culture made me ask few questions. Forgive me if they are not appropriate in Western culture.
Samaritan woman went out sharing her story immediately. Man with legion of evil spirits was asked to go back / remain in Decapolis. A new believer may have to face many hardships while entering the Kingdom.
The new believer is staying with you for 11 months? I don't know the full story or background.
In our culture 3 months is the maximum we allow new believers to be dependent on the community or leader.
Finally, because we are led by the Spirit not flesh, traditions or legalistic traditions, you have the freedom to mentor new believers in your own way.
Praying for more and more souls to be added to your ministry.

Covid update
Thankyou to those who have been praying and/or sending messages supporting us since last weekend! I will try to find a way of explaining just how important those messages have been, when Im able to
My wife of 25 years - today - made me take a self test, which showed I am testing negative for active virus. Which is good. Because any damage is already done, and it can't make me any worse.
We're aware this is good news, but not the end of this story. We still have a cough, feel generally very rough, and weak.
And Complications can still happen. But a negative test is certainly an encouraging step towards health
But thanks for your prayers thus far. They're still needed.

Woke up feeling much stronger and the foul taste in my mouth was gone.
But Jo and I do have a nasty cough. Real nasty!
But lying down makes the cough worse, and I find myself worrying about my breathing......not for the first time, but I'm nervous of breathing deeply in case it makes me cough even more.
Temperature fine one moment, then sweating the next, and back again.
@Berrybunchfamily Lord, I thank you for the Berry family. You are the Healer. You see the misery they're experiencing right now. Please encourage their hearts and touch their bodies right now with your healing power. You are more than enough. You know our weakness and are so full of mercy and grace. Please show them Your goodness in their time of need. Encourage their hearts in Your Word. You never fail and all Your promises are true.
I feel utterly dreadful. We've prayed against the virus in our home and bodies, to leave.
But God is still good, and while I have breath in my lungs I will yet praise Him...even if my lungs aren't in quite the happy place I'm used to!
I decided it's time to start seeing some improvements in our health....9 days in...I'm gonna keep hoping we're on the upward trend not the downward trend...
Most kind Jesus, grant me your grace so it might be with me and work with me and remain with me to the end.
Grant me always to desire and want what is most acceptable and pleasing to you. Let your will be mine and let my will always follow yours, and be in perfect accord with it. Let what I want always be what you want. Amen.

Prayer, in God's economy, is the heavy Artillery in our spiritual warfare.
Artillery:
"Artillery is a class of heavy military ranged weapons built to launch munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry firearms. Early artillery development focused on the ability to breach defensive walls and fortifications during sieges, and led to heavy, fairly immobile siege engines. As technology improved, lighter, more mobile field artillery cannons developed for battlefield use. This development continues today; modern self-propelled artillery vehicles are highly mobile weapons of great versatility generally providing the largest share of an army's total firepower."
Shall we not call for increasing prayer?? YES! We shall.
