Those joining us in prayer for the nation of Iran need to be aware that Honor Killings are a massive problem.

Looking forward to sharing in Sweden today at a church that has been a HUGE supporter for BTJ and has really helped our family in China!

Thank all of you for your prayers for our family. losing Debbie left a big hole in our hearts - that only God can fill. praying God brings His comfort to all of us. too many families are losing loved ones due to hospitals denying medicines that could save their lives. our church has lost 5 people to covid in 2
weeks - all were put on ventilators.
these families and our church need prayer
Urgent Prayers and Appeal for Funds to Help Malawi Friends in Heavy Floods-
We ask your prayers for dear friends and long-time members (15years) in Malawi. They recently had severe flooding. During the pandemic, many in this poor nation have already been suffering in the weak economy. According to ABC News "Thousands more have been made homeless and have sought refuge in churches and schools. A major road has been cut off by flooding and many people are feared trapped by the surging waters, according to Malawi government officials."

This week, the Afghani Islamic leadership sent out elite troops known as Haqqani on a 'search and destroy' mission to kill any Christian leaders they could find.
Believers remain in hiding, and desperately need our prayers.
Thank you all for your prayers, and some of you have sent private messages asking how we are doing! I appreciate this DD community! ❤️ Even if we tested positive yesterday, I've had symptoms for 8 days. It hasn't gotten worse, so I see it as a good sign it won't get worse later. I've got the same mild symptoms as when I have the common cold. Not even ache in my muscles or throat. Just coughing when I'm laying down.
My son has lower fever now, so it's going in the right direction.
My husband, who lives a very healthy lifestyle with lots of running and skiing, has been more tired than usual and has the same sensations in his throat - but he's been working all the time (he works from home). I tried to encourage him today to work less, and focus on getting rid of this first. We are having vit C, vit D, zink, echinacea, herbal teas, raw honey, lemon water, chaga and maitake mushrooms (in capsules), breathing essential oils from a diffusor. Tomorrow we will get colloidal silver.
Our hot water making machine is keeping us warm. Night time there was electricity with proper voltage to recharge our phones. Parked our vehicle inside a walled campus and visiting places in Motorcycles. Comparitively good village roads.
Heard encouraging stories, how previous teams blessed these tiny churches through various training they imparted.
One young lady had a dream , in which she saw herself acquiring a new skill through the visiting team. Now she uses that income generation skill to support her family and local house church.
Thanks for praying.
Please pray for a small team traveling!

I have a lot of friends and church relationships in Ukraine. Just got a message from Pastor Sasha...
Hello Todd !
Hope you are alive and well !
Things are getting spooky here a bit , couple of embassies are evacuating their families out of Ukraine. Also a few airlines are not leaving their planes over night. Flying in and a few hours later left. Russian army now because of conquering Belarus last couple of months is less than 100 miles from Kiev/in Belarus But overall there is no panic - praise God !
Please continue to pray as I know you do !
Blessings
Please pray for a friend of mine (middle aged) with covid! He's Christian and has asked for prayer. High fever for almost a week. He has taken Ivermectin, Zink, vit D etc. He's not vaccinated (if it matters, since they are so ineffective). He is going to check his lungs at the hospital today. I have no idea what protocol they use for covid, if it helps or if it only boils down to a person's own immunity.
We will pray that God can intervene in this Christian's life and heal him completely. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
A friend shared with me and it encouraged me.

2 vans at home and ready to load.
it's freezing cold here today - we're about to have a cooked breakfast before loading the vans throughout today
tomorrow we drive to our new home - anything up to around a 6 hour journey, and unload them
on Saturday we return the vans and drive back to our new home - around a 11-12 hour day
our car engine started playing up yesterday, but Jo made it to her last day of work and back, and we made it to the van hire place this morning.
we need another 500 miles or so out of the car, as we have no money for repairs (we suspect the last two, original, fuel injectors) and will need to find a garage once we've arrived at the new house. even if we had the money, garages are booking many days into the future anyway
plenty to pray for, and into, over the next 72 hours or so!!
we're certain God hasn't brought us this far to fall at the final hurdle, so we're holding to hope and Jesus!!
