Bobby and Becky Bonner: January 09

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Greetings in the name that is above all names, the name of Jesus. Wow, 2009 is here and this may be the year we hear the trumpet, even so Lord, sound it, amen.

Becky and I would like to thank you for all of your prayers and support and sacrifice of love for the Bonner family and IAM Ministries. Without all the support, we would be just spinning our wheels. We want to proclaim the name of Jesus wherever we go, be it on the road or over there in Africa. Once again, thank you all.

The works in Zambia and surrounding countries are continuing and people are being saved every week, in all places, in towns, cities, villages, and deep in the bush. Please pray for our men who are taking the Gospel into very dangerous places. Henry Lunda, Victor Lunda, White Katota, are but a few of our over 200 men who are church planting. The work in the Congo is going well, people are coming to Christ but it is very dangerous as you know of the turmoil with villages being raided by bandits, men murdered and children raped and forced into becoming killing machines. The heart of man is desperately wicked, and needs a conversion. Please pray.

Over the last month, I have received five letters from different countries, begging us to come and train their people for ministry. One Nigerian man got a hold of one of our African tracts, read it, got saved, shared it with his friends, who got saved, and then led 147 to people to Christ with one tract. They are meeting each week and want us to come and teach them more of the Bible. One family from Burundi had been lead to the Lord by Michael Kanyama, are begging for us to come and train them in the Word. I have received letters from Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda with requests for training and evangelism efforts. I also met a missionary going to Southern Sudan, Blankenship is his name. He has on tape a request from the President of Sudan to please come quickly to his country to plant churches. He will give them free land to build churches and give them free tax status. Wow.

All over Africa, the Lord is moving. Please continue to pray for laborers that would help us as we try and take the Gospel to every creature in Africa. Pray for IAM, for wisdom, and finances, that we will be able to take the Gospel just a little further. God bless you all, in Jesus Name.

Your Brother and Sister,
