John Hays Prayer Letter: Mighty Works of God in Africa and Asia

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This month we rejoice over the mighty works of God in both Africa and Asia. From the deserts of Pakistan to the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Gospel is being proclaimed, lives are being transformed, and communities are gaining access to safe, clean drinking water.

Testimony from the DRCRevival and a New Church Planted

Greetings! As shared in our earlier communication, we witnessed an outpouring of God’s grace in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Every day for 6 days, over 100 people accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Saviour during our daily programs. This mighty harvest was the result of preaching the Word of God alongside the Pure Water Ministry outreach.

By God’s grace, one more church was planted—a beacon of light and hope for the local community. Truly, your labor of love for Christ is not in vain.

Outreach Report: Pakistan Desert RegionsSouls Saved, Baptisms Celebrated, Churches Planted

By His abundant grace, our team safely returned from ministering in 10 remote desert villages. People traveled from 21 different communities to hear the Gospel. Over 4 days, we shared Christ with 320 people. While 3 villages resisted the message, we continue to pray for them. Praise God, 170 individuals professed Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

Baptism in a Pit Lined with Rose Petals

In one village without a baptismal facility, 36 new believers dug a simple pit in the earth. They lined it with rose petals before entering the water—a powerful image of resurrection: death transformed into life.

Pure Water Distribution

We provided 24 water-purification systems to families without access to safe drinking water, using each moment to share Jesus’ promise of “living water” (John 4:14). This practical act of love opened many hearts to the Gospel.

Five New Churches Established

In the wake of this outreach, five new congregations have been formed, serving as centers for worship, discipleship, and community ministry. Follow-up visits and leadership training are planned in the coming months.

Prayer Requests

• Growth and spiritual strength for all new believers• Protection and boldness for the new churches in Pakistan and DRC• Softened hearts in the villages that rejected the Gospel• Continued provision for water-purification and ministry outreach.

Thank You

We give all glory to God for these breakthroughs, and we thank you, our prayer partners and supporters, for making this ministry possible. Together, we are bringing both living water and eternal hope to some of the driest and darkest places in the world.

In Christ’s service,

Pure Water Mission Team
