Text from this PhotoShow:

A rough schedule is not the hardest thing a mobile team faces.
Our latest report indicates that each mobile team faces attacks or threats of persecution at least once every month.
They are sometimes driven out of villages like this one and threatened with death if they ever return.
While several team members were passing out literature, they were accused of forcing conversions and beaten.
In a separate incident, several men beat a pastor working with the team and smashed their equipment onto the ground.
The attack came after a film show like this one.
But the fact that so many people are hearing the Gospel drives them on.
They know the opposition comes because they are sharing the Good News in such dark places.
Knowing that they will face opposition, they spend hours praying both for those who oppose their ministry and for those who are receptive.
Even though the team can be kicked out of a village, their message remains.
