Dear praying friends and family, I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers for the Seminar on salvation by grace and the assurance of salvation. The Seminar went well with about 45 in attendance (on and off during that time). Most of them were church leaders. Please continue to pray that they might fully understand the grace of God in salvation and that the church leaders would effectively communicate these truths to their respective congregations.
I would also ask for prayer for another seminar, in the village of Sambala. I will be teaching for 2 days (Mon and Tues) with a Tanzania brother on the subject of giving. Please pray that the Holy Spirit would use us as vessels to communicate His truth. Pray for receptive ears and hearts and pray for God’s protection against the schemes of the enemy.
I would also ask for your prayers for my health as I have been feeling a bad cold coming on, which could affect my voice. Pray for healing and strength, and also pray for Gina and the kids as they stay at home.
We also have a big praise because Esther's school books have arrived! On Monday she will officially start 3rd grade. The container (that belongs to missionary friends) that we were waiting for sat in the port city of Dar Es Salaam for a full year.

Thank you so much for lifting up these needs before the throne of God. Your participation with us in prayer is vital to the success of our calling and mission.
With love in Christ,
Luke Johnson
