What God did at the first Million Village Challenge Mobilization Conference in South Asia was beyond all expectations. More than fifty organizations gathered in the State of Jharkhand in India, targeting 22 districts and three unengaged people groups using the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) strategy. Initial reports indicate that nearly 14,000 villages were adopted by the organizations that gathered. CHE training has already been scheduled for several groups with more on the way.
Pray with us now for mobilization conferences in February and March in Myanmar, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. Conferences are also being scheduled for the fall for the Middle East and North Africa.
