Prières quotidiennes
Ann works among an unreached people group in northern Chad. As a doctor, she has particularly focused on helping the mentally ill and epileptics. Please pray for Ann as she continues to visit people to talk of God, and the good news. As she is soon to retire from the work, ask that the Lord may grant her many opportunities with people whose hearts and minds are open. There are plans for a seminar running from the 20th-24th April to train doctors and nurses to carry on the work once Ann has left. Please pray that God would provide the means for this to go ahead, and that many would be well equipped to continue this essential ministry to the vulnerable and marginalised.
Claudia serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. She will be reading the book of Daniel with her students this term. Please pray that the steadfast faith of Daniel and his friends would resonate with the young people and challenge them to follow Jesus with the same dedication. It is also important that they can find the right time to meet which works for everyone; ask that God would enable them all to meet together and remove obstacles to engaging with his word.
Paul and Elizabeth are teaching mission courses at Africa International University (AIU) in Nairobi and mobilising local church leaders to serve as missionaries among Unreached People Groups. It’s so encouraging to hear of increased mission awareness among local churches; one congregation in Nairobi has now developed a 10-year plan to support the outreach going on in one of the remote villages. Praise God that he has used Paul and Elizabeth to train 30 local missionaries, which has resulted in a church being planted among Samburu/Ren’dile tribes: the first since 1970! As they return to the UK in July for a year, please pray for their two children, starting university, and that the Lord will provide all that they need to serve him.
Pray for the 633,000 Antanosy who live in South-eastern Madagascar. Praise God that there are several churches in the regional capital, as well as others scattered amongst the villages. The majority of this area is quite remote and hard to access, but we know that no area on earth is too hard for the Almighty God to bring his light. Please ask that the Lord would reveal his truth to the Antanosy people and show them that his power is greater than any power they see in their rituals and traditions. Pray for more workers to be raised up and sent.
Saskia has been serving at Rift Valley Academy in Kenya since last August but has decided not to stay for another year. Please pray for her as she is seeking the Lord’s guidance for where he wants her to serve next, whether that be another placement in Africa or back home in the Netherlands.
Zac is doing Youth Sports Ministry in Tanzania for a year, having started in January. Praise God that his language learning is going well, and he’s settled into his new house. He’s also very grateful that while he hasn’t been able to eat fruit in the UK due to allergies, he’s been ‘eating fruit galore’ with no side effects! Please pray for the relationships Zac has built with local people to continue to grow and develop, and that opportunities to share the gospel would consequently open up. There is also an opportunity to start organising some sporting events with his teammate, Matthew, so ask the Lord to provide the means and people to attend.
Cees and Mirjam serve in Kotido, Uganda, to engage the Karimojong people for Christ. In January, they launched a Theological Education by Extension program, through which students in Kotido can earn an accredited certificate by studying books on their own and meeting weekly with a tutor. They are also busy preparing a program called “Scripture Engagement”, promoting listening to and interacting with the Bible in small groups. They have received 50 audio Bibles and plan to start Bible listening groups in communities where no one can read and where there are no Bibles. Please pray that as people get access to the Word of God, they will find life in Christ.
Dawn works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. Praise God for progress in the Bible translation project, and for the local believers who continue to meet together once a week. Please ask the Lord to continue to work through conversations with friends and neighbours, and to give wisdom as she walks alongside the local church. Please pray for team health and energy levels, and that their vehicles will work well so that their ministries can continue.
