The Laarim
The Laarim live in the Boya Hills of South Sudan, a rugged terrain with rich savanna, high grasslands and scrub bushes. PrayAfrica writes: “There is a Laarim believer in Torit who wants to be out here in the village as a missionary, but his church in Torit has not been able to get enough finances together to support him. (We desire to see the local church do the sending.) Pray the Lord will provide for the church to send him.”
Borderless UK
Pray for a Borderless UK worker who has recently lost their father. Ask God to comfort them and their family as they grieve. Pray that God will use their reliance on Jesus in this hard time, as a powerful witness of God’s presence and love, to the international community they serve among.
Elle
Elle* is part of a medical ministry team on the Indian Ocean Islands. Thank God that her friend Fatima* has resumed her Bible reading with Elle* and seems to be far more engaged than the last time they met. Give thanks that she wants to tell her friend Elaine* what she’s been learning about Jesus, when she’s at the market. Elaine* has previously been hostile to the gospel when Elle* tried to share with her, so pray that Fatima*’s interest in the Bible will capture her friend’s curiosity and that God will open a door to sharing the gospel with both women. *Names changed for security reasons
