Brazil: Robert and Damaris Lankford request prayer for the Lord to raise up new seminary students and to prepare them for ministry in the Amazon. Especially remember the call for Josias, Jaime, Junior, and Joas.
Brazil: Praise the Lord with Marv and Diane Fray. They have acquired a good-sized piece of land on a main avenue for their new church plant, but it is part of a larger tract, and so far they have not been able to proceed until the process of division of the land is complete. Pray that this process would be finished SOON.
Cambodia: Hubert and Mary Broeckert ask for prayer for their children’s ministry in a town near Koh Kong. For several years it has largely been taken over by another religious group that arrives at the meeting place one hour before their teachers. They pay an unsaved man to teach the children. They give gifts and provide a meal every time they come. They have even baptized four of the children. Pray that some of the believing children will still be able to be taught by the people from their church and that they will be able to understand the difference between correct and false teaching.
Campus Bible Fellowship International, Wright State University: Gary and Betty Holtz and associate missionary David Elmore were discouraged that, due to circumstances beyond their control, they missed the deadline for CBFI to become a recognized group on campus again. However, Gary received a phone call that indicated at least a dozen Christian students on campus who might be interested in a CBFI group. They may be able to form a group and be ready when the next opportunity comes to seek recognition as an officially recognized campus group. Please pray with them for wisdom, patience, and endurance.
Chad: Joshua and Barbara Hedges ask that you please pray for God’s blessing on the Day and Sara language translation teams as they increase their efforts to complete these entire Bible translation projects within 5-7 years. They are trying to accelerate the projects.
Chile: James and Coletta Morsey ask prayer for the salvation of a Turkish friend.
Church Planting and Development, Kentucky: Barry and Judy Byrne would like for you to pray for three people. They all need to accept Christ as their Savior, but all feel they need to clean their lives up first. They have heard the Word of God, but they struggle with letting go and letting God save them.
Italy: Pray with Jonathan and Melodee Whitman for future church plant opportunities in Umbria (central Italy).
Netherlands: Herb and Madaline Boyd request prayer for the salvation of six new contacts participating in their second Alpha course, which is being taught by church members.
Scotland: Pray for continued outreach through literature distribution, and pray for contacts to be made through upcoming special activities. These are very important parts of Jon and Isobel Dygert’s ministry in Scotland. Pray with them for the salvation of souls for Christ.
Slovakia: Don and LeAnne Waite ask prayer for the salvation of two contacts.
Taiwan: Matt and Marla Hanna request prayer for their church youth group. The ministry has been doing very well but has grown more challenging. Several new kids have begun to attend the youth fellowship on Saturday evenings. Youth camp in July was a success. In August they held a joint youth rally with the other Baptist church in Kaohsiung, and in September they took them to Taichung for a similar event. Pray that either one of the mature families in the church will take the position of youth director or that a young couple will come to Taiwan to work with the teens.
