Prières quotidiennes
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.
Ruth works on an Indian Ocean Island, seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. Give thanks for the Lord reminding Ruth of his promises and character and strengthening her during difficult times. During Ramadan, many local people asked Ruth if she was fasting. This brought lots of opportunities to share that she doesn’t need to earn her way into heaven, as Jesus has done it all for her. One evening, her neighbour’s daughter asked her, “So you are not fasting because you love Jesus?” Ruth replied, “YES! I am not fasting because I love him”. She went on to explain what Jesus did for us on the cross. Praise God that her neighbour’s daughter is clearly watching and taking it all in. Please pray that God may open her heart to love Jesus for herself.
Pray for the 930,000 Antandroy who live in the arid extreme south of Madagascar. Bible translation is progressing, with the four Gospels, Acts and several epistles available in print and audio formats. There is a team among them working in partnership with local churches, and one of the pastors is broadcasting the Jesus film. Ask the Lord to bring a breakthrough of the Gospel and a revival among the Antandroy.
