Ayikoru

Ayikoru is a Lugbara (the tribe where we live) name meaning Happy One or Joyful.

This is the name that three seperate friends came and bestoyed upon Lucy when she was first born here three years ago.

It is also the name of one of my dearest friends...

We are writing you tonight to tell you about both of our Ayikorus and ask you to pray for them!

Ayikoru Lucy has been learning Psalm 91 with us at the breakfast table! She's getting it!!!

The last three or four mornings she has very happily announced...

"I had a scary dream last night, but I didn't call daddy, I hid under the shadow of the Almighty!"

Praise Jesus...oh that she might ever find refuge there.

My dear friend Ayikoru Jennifer needs the same hiding place tonight.

Her father is not pleased that she and her sister have both said YES to Jesus!

He came and told them if they would renounce Jesus, then he would help them with school fees and care for them again...he has cast them away since they first met Christ.
Ayikoru Jennifer's sister is just about to start graduate school and the pressure is great!

Will you pray for these two sisters to hold steady...to hide under the shadow of the Almighty in these difficult days of persecution...and as she has requested...will you pray with us that their father says YES to Jesus!!!
