- (yan-GONG) – Last month, a group of believers organized an outreach to an unreached community. The believers went from house to house, giving clean water filters to each family. Next the believers shared about Jesus and how He can make their hearts clean. Pray for the men and women who were interested and said they wanted to believe. Ask that God will strengthen the believers as they teach more about what it truly means to follow Jesus.
- (WEE-wah) – "Please pray for an afterschool English club that members of our Valledupar Team have started in the town of 'Wheeltown.' A local church has been trained in working cross-culturally and will be partnering with our team to help lead this English club. We will be using Bible stories to teach English to students in the mountains. Pray that this club will provide many opportunities to share the gospel with the students as well as open doors to visit and share with their families."
- (TWAR-eg) – The days are beginning to warm, and the nights are not as bitterly cold. It's the beginning of "spring"–whatever that means–in the desert. The thick winter blankets are beginning to be washed, set out to dry, and put away until the cold returns. As the season changes, so does the rhythm and flow of family life. It's almost time to pack up all the family belongings, tie them to the backs of the camels, and begin the journey to the part of the desert where they will spend the summer. Families across the desert are going through changes […]
- In many cultures, weddings and funerals are pivotal in building relationships and creating deep bonds. East African culture is no different. In northern Tanzania, there have been many funerals in the past six months and some weddings, too. These events allowed for opportunities to develop relationships in communities and with families that, otherwise, might not have happened. Pray for the pastors and church leaders as they invest time in ministering to grieving families. Ask God to provide all that is needed as they reach out and share the gospel in their communities. Intercede for grieving families, as they are required […]
- (TAH-jeeks) – March is the beginning of spring and the celebration of the Persian New Year, which always happens somewhere around March 21. This is a big holiday and a reason for celebration for Tajiks, where there will be many gatherings of friends and family, complete with food and dancing. As they celebrate the coming of spring, which brings new life and an abundance of colors, will you pray that they will come to experience the new life and hope that only Christ can bring? Ask that they will understand His offer to them, realize their sin, surrender to Christ […]
- Two employees of a South Asian harvest worker have worked for years, often hearing truth and reading God's Word. But they have not yet chosen to follow Christ. Please intercede for Mrs. Ramani and Mr. Sridhar, asking that they will open their hearts and have the faith to believe.
- (KAHN-kin) – For Fred and Daisy, daily prayerwalking around their apartment complex has helped them to develop friendships with many of the security guards. One specific guard, Aarav, asked for Fred's contact number because he was changing jobs. However, Aarav's mother and father work in different buildings in the high-rise apartment complex, so he would still be coming to the area quite often. Fred and another local believing brother initiated a conversation with Aarav one morning in which they were able to share the gospel, and Aarav surrendered his life to Christ. Pray for continued enthusiasm for Aarav and his […]
- "We have been leading a small group in our church, conducted in one of the primary languages of our nation. While we have encountered several challenges in this endeavor, we've also experienced numerous moments of joy. We kindly request your prayers for effective and transparent communication on profound and essential subjects. We seek your intercession for the gospel message to be clearly articulated and well received. We ask for your prayers for those attending who have not yet placed their trust in Christ. Please pray also for the believers who participate in this group, that they will experience spiritual growth […]
- The Assyrians of Lebanon came to that country in stages. Some settled there centuries ago during the Middle Ages, others came in the 1600s, and many others arrived during the Assyrian genocide that happened in Turkey and Persia during World War I. Lebanon has also been a place where Assyrians have settled in recent years as refugees on their way to the West, hoping for a better life. They try to remain neutral amid the complex political system of Lebanon, which is drawn across religious lines, but since they are traditionally part of the Syrian Catholic Church, they join other […]
