Current Update & Prayer Needs:
Prayer Needs for Benin - April 21, 2026
On behalf of the Truth Unleashed Ministries board, Josue and his Hope for Youth ministry team members, I want to thank you for your ongoing support, both financially and prayerfully! We recognize that we cannot do this amazing work without you, and we pray God will bless your generosity and prayers.
We ask that you pray for the Spring team that will soon be heading to Benin. We pray for Pam's health, that God will keep her pain under control and allow her the opportunity to say goodbye to the many people whose lives she has touched over the past years. We pray for the remaining team members, that they will be kept healthy and be a blessing to the people in Benin. May the Holy Spirit empower them to do His will on this trip.
Josue is so incredibly grateful to everyone, and grateful to the Lord for His faithfulness. Josue has recently been facing some health challenges. Two weekends ago, he was not feeling very well. He sought out medical care and was found to have an infection. Blood cultures are being done to see exactly what is going on. Josue is doing much better now, but not back to 100%. Please keep him in your prayers, that he will be cured of this infection and be well for when the Spring team arrives.
Josue is recognizing that the ministry does not need to be dependent on him. It is a team effort, and Josue has people in place who can make sure everything continues to run smoothly. He is recognizing that he needs to stop and take a break, allowing himself time for rest. Josue was involved in many different programs leading up to and including Easter weekend. He continues to be invited to many conferences. 2 weeks ago, he spoke 3 times at a church conference over the course of the week. He was supposed to speak another 3 times at that church last week, but was only able to speak once due to feeling unwell. While Josue's speaking time was cut short, he still feels he was able to deliver the message God placed on his heart. After the Spring trip, Josue is planning to take 2 weeks off to relax and reflect.
Josue's family is doing very well. Isaac recently had his 20th birthday, now a young man. Josue has challenged Isaac to reflect and write down what he wants to accomplish over the next 10 years. Isaac really wants to continue his schooling in the United States, but his Visa expires next year. We pray God will help Isaac overcome every hurdle that may come.
The recent presidential election went well, and so far things have been peaceful in Benin. As expected the former minister of finance was elected president and will now be in the position for the next 7 years. The senate has not yet been put into place, but they are planning to establish it, led by the former president, as his way of continuing to have power in Benin.
11 out of 15 students at God's Grace for Kids Hevie are now being sponsored!!! This is such a blessing, an answer to prayer. If God is stirring it up in your heart to support one of these children, information can be found here: https://www.truthunleashedministries.org/sponsor-a-child
