Its raw honesty showcases the Robertson family's struggles and triumphs, emphasising God's steadfast faithfulness. The impact has been significant, with many viewers experiencing spiritual awakenings, overcoming personal demons, and mending relationships. Numerous baptisms have taken place, some in the river behind Phil's home, a testament to his ongoing dedication to faith.

Committed to promoting adoption and foster care, Korie and her daughter Sadie will speak at The Chosen conference, reflecting their dedication to family and faith.
Answered prayer for USA
Two weeks ago we joined with American intercessors to pray for a tsunami of prayer to gain momentum and bring positive change in the USA (1 Samuel 2:1). This week we praise God for Holy Spirit changes taking place. For an encouraging video, go to. On it you will see a number of Christian groups holding revival services at the site where George Floyd died in Minneapolis. They are seeing many people turn to God, and miracles are happening in a revival that is reportedly spreading to other USA cities. Could this be an early indication of the promised Great Awakening that we are praying for?
Afghanistan, Iran: suffering but growing church
We praise God that hundreds of new Iranian and Afghan believers have been baptised in recent months in cities across the region. In Iran, these include teenagers who were deeply impacted recently by an Elam youth discipleship conference. The baptisms have been occasions of great joy and celebration, often lasting from morning to evening. Over 100 more new believers will be baptised soon at a service in Afghanistan. Please pray that all these new believers will grow in love and knowledge of Christ, and that God will protect them and give them wisdom as they witness to family and friends.
