Prières quotidiennes
Rex and Ruby
Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it, and currently lead teams in sensitive countries. Reflecting on the parable of the sower, they ask us to pray for deep roots where there is response to the good news, with quick maturity and true understanding of the gospel. Pray for daily feeding and saturation by the truths of the Word. Pray for healthy preparation and dependence on the Lord and a steadfastness that endures the hot sun and continues growing, come what may. * Name changed for security reasons
Alan and Pauline Jordan
Alan and Pauline Jordan serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki, northern Kenya. Alan continues BTCP/L lessons for the nine students who haven’t finished various books. A graduation has been booked for Saturday 31st January 2026 at AIC Nanyuki. The Jordans are rejoicing in an answer to their prayers for someone to come alongside Alan to assist him in teaching the BTCP/L and mentoring the graduates who have started new small classes. John Barry began to teach new students in October. These students have been waiting some time to start the course. He is teaching on Mondays and Tuesdays at the church with Alan. John comes as a teacher with his wife Shan, both having many years of missionary experience in Africa.
Elle
Elle* is part of a medical ministry team on the Indian Ocean Islands. Recently a blind mother, who had received no antenatal care, delivered twins at their hospital weighing 1.3 and 1.5kg. She had no money to go to the neonatal unit in the city, so they were kept on the postnatal ward, using ‘kangaroo care’ to keep their temperatures up (placing them skin-to-skin with mum or a relative and holding them in place with a scarf tied around) and a lot of prayer! Praise the Lord, they’re currently doing well and gaining weight! But it does reaffirm the need for a neonatal unit there. Pray for Elle and the team as they plan and try to ensure they do the simple, important things well. Mary* and family have been busy sorting their cloves for sale. This and other things, mean they haven’t studied in ages. Elle wondered if Mary* was still interested. But after a long conversation when she offered Mary* many ways of saying no and assured her of her ongoing friendship, Mary is firm about continuing to study once the cloves are sorted. Elle wants to ‘relaunch’ their studies by retelling the contextualised good news presentation they use (the kingdoms of light and darkness). Please pray that this would be memorable and make sense of the rest of the stories. * Name changed for security reasons
Diaspora
Praise the Lord for a good start to the academic year in a diaspora work in south Wales. Our worker continues to lead the Women’s English and Sewing classes at her local church. They thank God for good attendance and the provision of new team members in the Women’s English classes. It’s also been a joy to be able to offer childcare to those who attend Tuesday classes. Thank God for the International Women’s sewing class which is running at capacity with a waiting list. In recent weeks, the “Thought for the Day” on straight versus zig-zag stitches and verses from Proverbs has prompted good discussions. Pray for receptive hearts in those who come as they hear Bible stories, testimonies and gospel presentations, both in and out of class.
Pablo
Pablo* serves in West Africa, where he continues to use English teaching to develop relationships for the gospel. Please pray for those who are interested – Issy, Zak, Barry, Sam, Moses, Sid and plenty of others – that there would be more chances to share, more open hearts, and more freedom. Pray for those who have believed – C, B, Mo – that they’d grow as they stand on Jesus the rock. Pray too for a quick resolution for a significant dilemma for the English centre as their NGO status in-country isn’t entirely clear (potentially all in order, but possibly not). If Pablo raises this with the authorities, they may seize the opportunity to make trouble. Ask for honest people to deal with. * Name changed for security reasons
Rendille of Kenya
Pray for the 60,000 Rendille of Kenya who live in the Kaisut Desert east of Lake Turkana as semi-nomadic pastoralists. Pastors and elders of multiple local churches among the Rendille and Samburu continue to meet to read and study God’s Word. In June, five of those men gathered to learn how to study the Bible (hermeneutics) and are moving on to expository preaching through a curriculum called SOMA. Pray for these men as they sharpen each other. Pray for their spiritual growth, the growth of their families, and the growth of healthy churches in Northern Kenya.
Vision
Pray that the gospel will be proclaimed to African people in dependence on the grace and power of the Lord, in partnership with African churches, and with priority for unreached people groups.
Claudia Middendorf
Claudia Middendorf serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. She is half way through her course of Bible study methods. The interaction with the students is very encouraging. Please pray for lasting fruit in their personal lives and their ministries.
Inge Michel
Inge Michel serves at SEMTENA in Nampula, Mozambique, where she teaches and trains pastors and church workers. Pray for the new higher-level course on the science of Christian education with Angelika Maader, who is visiting Nampula in October and November. Pray for blessed and transforming studies, for the light of God to shine brighter and be transmitted much better in the churches. Pray too for the ongoing classes at the medium level.
