Just a few minutes ago, Pastor Kali Nthabi knocked at our door to share what God is doing in the village of Ha Ratau.
Some time ago a family in this village requested prayer for their grown son who is demon possessed. Most of the time this man cannot speak. This week Pastor Kali arranged to hold a service at their home. He expected at most a dozen people for a cottage prayer meeting. God had other plans!
This village is deeply oppressed by witchcraft and demon possession. Many people in the village have lost their minds or have other problems that are clearly the result of demonic forces. The lady of the house went to the village chief to inform him that she was expecting a pastor to visit and hold a prayer meeting at her home. When the chief heard this, he asked her to tell the pastor not to just hold a cottage prayer meeting, but instead pitch a tent and hold services for everyone. He told the lady that the village is in dire straits, and they desperately need God to deliver them. The lady invited many people to come to her house this afternoon for a prayer meeting.
When Pastor Kali and his team got to the village, people started gathering. Before long the house was full, so they moved the service outside. Dozens of people gathered in the yard to listen to singing, testimonies, and a Gospel message. At the end of the message many responded to the "altar call" to seek the Lord. The demon-possessed man was also seeking God, and at the end of the service he was no longer mute. Praise the Lord for delivering him, but he needs to keep seeking the Lord until he is really saved! Please pray for him and many others who need help in this village!
This is an exciting time to be a missionary in Lesotho! We see God working in a powerful way so many places. Sometimes it seems that the Spirit is moving out ahead of us and we have to run to keep up with what God wants us to do. Please pray as we train and mentor people to fill the many opportunities God is providing!

Good morning, how are you?
My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys travelling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favour:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Lesotho? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Lesotho in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
