Pray for Adam & Rachel: One Step Closer to Joining a Church Planting Team in West Africa

Adam and Rachel serve in West Africa. “We were given the opportunity to visit the village of the team we are hoping to join! … It gave us a much better idea of what the needs are and the breadth of the work there among the ‘B’ people.” There are a few believers in this village of 1,200, and the missionary team is working to strengthen these believers in the Word. They would also like to go through the chronological teaching again. Pray as “there has been much opposition to this in the past.” The team meets together this month to determine if Adam and Rachel will be joining the team in this village. Pray that God’s will would be done.

Adam and Rachel completed their missionary training with Ethnos Canada. Visit ethnostraining.ca to learn more.

Pray for Bible Translation in Papua New Guinea

Ralf and Elli Schlegel, serving itinerantly, minister to the Dinangat people of Papua New Guinea (PNG). “After our return to PNG in early August, our co-worker Jeremiah came from the USA for three weeks. Together we spent two very full weeks in Dinangat. We invested much time with our helpers to continue working on the Bible translation — he on Luke’s Gospel and I on 1 and 2 Peter. On Sundays, each of us had the privilege of preaching in the church. A very special highlight was being able to hand over the completed Matthew’s Gospel to the church — a moment full of gratitude and joy!”

Deepening Relationships in Northern Canada

Canadians Brent and Jodi Ristau minister among an indigenous people group in northwest Canada. Pray for them as they continue to build relationships with the community. “We see ever broadening opportunities and invitations to be a part of peoples’ lives and to continue to speak into them as a result of the trust and relationships we have been building over the last three years of living here. … Would you pray for us as we launch a group called ‘grief-share’ in the community? The community is rife with hurting hearts that shoulder more than their share of grief and [that] continue to encounter more.”

Pray for Hewa Village Outreach

Jonathan and Susan Kopf minister among the Hewa people of Papua New Guinea. Pray for Hewa Bible teachers Faimpat and Eyaka and their families as the men teach a group of believers from another Hewa village. The two men previously taught “the Creation through Christ lessons which resulted in several of them placing their trust in Jesus as their Saviour.” Then they taught through Acts, and now the believers have asked them to teach through Romans. “Please pray that they will not be distracted by current and ongoing threats from other villages but that the Lord will give them safety and the ability to focus as Faimpat teaches the Word over the next few months.”
