When Samuel and his family set out to share Christ in this community, they knew very well the dangers that lay before them. Through our prayers for Samuel's bereaved wife and three children, we have the privilege to hold up the arms of precious brothers and sisters such as these, who do not count their lives dear to themselves for the sake of bringing the Gospel to those who have never heard.
