Jakob & AdinaKazakhstan
The Twelfth Night, January 5th, marks the end of the Christmas season. In Europe it was traditionally a time for feasting, often with a king’s cake (a cake with three different colors of icing to commemorate the wise men’s visit). It’s believed that the comedy Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare was written as entertainment for this holiday.
Jakob and Adina, who are Uyghur, serve in a Uyghur community. They went through P2M training in 2019. They share, “This training has helped us make disciples. Uyghurs don’t listen to what you say. They watch how you live your life; how you treat your family; how you run your business.”
Jakob and Adina own a grocery store. People in the community notice that they treat their customers differently. Instead of swearing at their difficult customers, Jakob and Adina treat them with unexpected kindness.
Pray for Jakob and Adina to continue living as effective witnesses.
