The old man who wants to see
He's old, but he still wants to learn.
An elderly Manobo man in the Philippines has asked for someone to come and teach God's Word to him and his village.
Mahan, a Manobo Bible teacher, is getting ready to begin sharing there. But he can't just show up and start.
"It was necessary that first someone the old man knows go and talk to the old man and prepare the way," wrote missionary Gene Trudeau. "After many months of trying to make contact with him it has finally happened. The next step is for Mahan to visit there with the Bible teacher who has made the arrangements with the old man."
It's been a lengthy process of preparation, but the old man and his family are ready to listen, and he will also invite his neighbors.
"To start with Mahan and his family will not live there," Gene continued, "but he plans to travel once a week the 26 difficult kilometers from our village to the other village via motorcycle."
Please pray for safety and no breakdowns for Mahan as he rides the motorcycle to the old man's village. Pray also that the old man and his family and neighbors will hear and believe.
