Africa (MNN) – World Missionary Press (WMP) recently joined longtime partner, Every Home for Christ, at the organization’s One Africa Conference for a time of encouragement and fellowship.
Many of the pastors, directors, and workers at the conference work in challenging areas, including northern Nigeria, Sudan, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
For countries in this region, it can be challenging to conduct street work ministry. Working with teams like Every Home for Christ allows World Missionary Press booklets to be distributed in closed areas.
Helen Williams with WMP says that despite persecution, jail time, and loss of family members, the workers keep on going and sharing the written Word of God.
While at the conference, Williams met with a young woman from Namibia whose husband was a WMP contact and national director.
Despite his passing in an accident a few months ago, Williams says, “I was just so blessed by her spirit

and by her willingness and by her friendship.”
“She was his partner in ministry, and she came up to me and thanked me for our prayers, hugged me, and told me that she’s going to continue the work. She’s going to do the paperwork and keep the office going,” says Williams.
“The ministry will take over and provide another director, but she’s going to stay with the work. We have a container in process and a language project in process, and she’s going to pick it up.”
Williams also met a coordinator from Angola who sent a sudden request a few months ago when the northern part of Angola had opened up for more outreach.
Williams met the contact early in the trip when he approached her and thanked her for the materials WMP sent him.
“This is the Lord’s plan, and we were able to respond. He came to us, and we were able to respond and get it there,” Williams says.
Another blessing was the opportunity to meet with a new coordinator from Zambia. As the previous one had too many other responsibilities, he knew that WMP was looking for another Zambian contact.
“His son and his son’s wife came up to us, and he said, ‘I can do this. I want to do this,’ and they were so excited,” Williams says.
Williams met with them and went through the expectations and logistics process, and says meeting them was the Lord’s time.
Ministry partners were grateful to WMP as they work to provide the Word of God in small booklets.
“It is just a unique piece of literature, and they know that literature in Africa is vital. They have the internet and they have digital and all of this, but the written Word is still well received and needed,” Williams says.
Please pray for those on the ground and praise God for their consistency and faithfulness. Pray for the Word to change villages and cities and to disciple believers.
WMP can print a booklet for $0.06 apiece, so even a small donation can bring the Word to somebody. Please pray over financial and logistical needs to be met as WMP works to fill orders during a transition time.
