Another reason to give to the LMCO: Little is known about the Unreached Ngbandi-Ngiri people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo – Funds are needed by missionaries desiring to learn about these “people of the forest", their culture worldview, in order to make a viable plan to plant Gospel seeds among them. For more about the Ngbandi-Ngiri people, visit http://exploringtheland.blogspot.com/2013/12/ngiri-people-of-democratic-republic-of.html.

Lottie Moon relied on letters sent by boat to share what God was doing in His harvest field and how to join in His work. Praise God today for the internet and instant sharing of prayer praises and requests, such as how to pray for the peoples of South Africa as they mourn the death of Nelson Mandela at http://www.commissionstories.com/africa/stories/view/first-person-reflections-on-nelson-mandelas-legacy?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=farewell-madiba.

Thanks to the support of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, a missionary ethnodoxologist is helping 6 Kenya Baptist Theological College voice students, each from a different people group, write new songs in their heart language.  Pray for them as they adapt one of their songs to include their 6 different languages, each with their own verse, to sing at their upcoming graduation!

From IMB workers among Sub-Saharan African Peoples: We are able to sit across the table from precious, patient nationals who are teaching us their heart language so we can share the gospel with those who have never heard... in a way they can understand because of your generosity in giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Thank you so, so much!
