He heard the sound of crying.  It could only be his wife.  For two years their marriage had been childless and unhappy.  they'd fought and shouted.  If she'd cried before, it was only from anger or frustration.

But the sound he now heard was different.  His wife sounded not angry, but broken.  He went to her and found her, her body shaking with sobs, her eyes red with tears.  At first she said little but held out to him a small booklet.  It was a Christian booklet with verses from the Bible.

Then between her sobs, his wife confessed a terrible secret.  She'd been trying to kill him by witchcraft.  The witch doctor in their African village had given her power, she said, even to handle snakes without being harmed.  But the Christian booklet showed her that power belonged to God alone.  Only He had the power of life and death.  Only He had the power to hear her sins and forgive them.

All that night the two of them prayed to the Christian God.  Even when the sun rose in the sky once more, still they prayed and confessed their sins.  They asked Jesus to be their Savior.

The evil of witchcraft was broken.  And in the Love of God they were able to love each other.

​We put things in our pockets every day without thinking: loose change, business cards, gum wrappers. We never consider that an item we drop in might have a transformative effect on our lives, but that was the case for Hakiziyaremye Vianney. Vianney was selling goats and sheep in Rwanda’s crowded Rugarama street market when he noticed a sudden burst of activity. People were fighting to receive booklets from a group of EHC evangelists. Curious, Vianney took one and glanced at it before absentmindedly slipping it into his pocket.
​
“He was a drunkard and was beating his wife every day,” says Ananie Bagaragaza, the EHC National Director of Rwanda. “He wasn’t interested in hearing the Gospel.” When Vianney came home that night, he emptied his pockets and didn’t even notice the gospel booklet, The Way to God, drop onto the table. Propping up his feet to relax, he asked his wife, Everyne, to bring him a glass of water. When Everyne didn’t respond, he looked up, irritated that he had been ignored. To his surprise, she was coming toward him slowly, carrying a glass of water in one hand and reading the gospel booklet with the other. “The content of the whole booklet pleased her,” Ananie says, “but the message on page 43, where it said Jesus is the only way to God, deeply penetrated her heart.” Annoyed that a piece of paper had stolen Everyne’s attention from him, Vianney stormed off to a bar. When he returned hours later, Everyne was still reading the gospel booklet. At that point, Vianney’s annoyance turned to curiosity, and he asked to read the booklet for himself. “After reading, I thought immediately of God and my death,” Vianney says. “That night, I had a dream.” In Vianney’s dream, he was on the verge of death and surrounded by a crowd of people. With cruel laughter, they told him that, because he had rejected Jesus, it was too late for him to receive salvation. Desperation and regret washed over Vianney. Suddenly, a tall, strong man emerged from the crowd and had compassion on him. This man told Vianney that it wasn’t too late.

When Vianney shared his dream with Everyne the next morning, she was thankful that God had used it to reach her husband. They immediately went to a Christian church near their village, and the pastor prayed with them. The couple accepted Christ, and it wasn’t long before their entire family of eight was saved. “The amazing thing is that they were baptized together,” says Ananie. “On Christmas Eve, they were both baptized.”

Today, Vianney and Everyne’s marriage is transformed. They are being discipled by a pastor, and they regularly volunteer in EHC home-to-home evangelism. Everywhere Vianney goes, he carries a pocketful of gospel booklets to share with others whenever he has the chance.
“Now, I and all my family are baptized and have Jesus as our Savior,” Vianney says. “It is all because of a gospel booklet. Praise God!”

Every Home For Christ uses our literature to reach the lost all over the world.

We went on 21 missions in 6 counties impacting 59 villages and towns in 2 countries, Liberia and Ivory Coast.  A mission can last 1-7 days.  We did 2 three day conferences.  Our projector was used 3 times showing the Jesus film and other Christian training films.  We baptized 42 people.  Many had the Gospel presented to them and many made confessions of faith asking our Lord for salvation and forgiveness.  We printed 9,000 pages of Bible training material.  We made 491 manuals. 
 
We had 41 students in our level 1 class and several that listen in.  They came from 9 counties which represent over 1/2 of the 16 Liberian counties.  We also had students from three countries; Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Liberia.  The students have returned to spread the Gospel as they were taught.  Except for Nigeria, we will also be sending our field leaders to them throughout the year to assist them in producing fruit, to encourage, provide material, and continue to train.
 
Exciting news!  One of our students comes from an unreached people group of Liberia and is a former Muslim.  He comes from the Vai tribe.  Joshua Project considers the Vai to be an unreached people group. They are a Muslim mixed with animism stronghold.  He is from Grand Capemont County, a county we have never sent a disciple to.  He is determined to go back to them and share the gospel!!  He and I have agreed that he should stay on our base for at least a month to attend level 4.  While here for the month we will continue to train and prepare him.  We plan on sending a mission team with him when he returns.  
 
Some of these Bible Institute students were unknown to us having been brought by our Lord.  But most all of these students have come because our field leaders on motorbikes have made an impact on them while visiting their communities.  We have been to 13 of the 16 counties evangelizing, discipling and working towards church plants.
 
Our press shop wall structure should be complete this week.
 
As I type this report our dental team is preparing to pull their first tooth.  Exciting!!!  Bad teeth bring much pain and even death.  This is a huge blessing for the SE of Liberia where hundreds of thousands have had no access to a dentist.
 
Prayer requests:  We praise God for an anointed Level 1 class.  Pray for our Bible Institute Level 4 class that starts on February 20th, each class lasts 2 weeks.  Praise God our dental clinic is in operation.  Pray that we can start distributing our water filters.  Surely I broke a toe (no X-ray equipment) in a motorbike mishap. Pray for healing.
