pray for the Lusi people in Papua New Guinea

Pray for Bible Teaching Among the Lusi People of Papua New Guinea

Monday, April 14

Rick and Anji Zook, along with Mouk church elders, minister to the Lusi people of Papua New Guinea. “Rick is working with the team as they learn to write Bible lessons for 1 Corinthians. … Pray that God would encourage and sustain [Mouk Bible teachers and their families]” as they minister to the Lusi church. “Pray for the Lusi believers as they hear teaching on 1Corinthians. [Pray] that they will learn what it means to relate to each other in love, building up each other. Pray that God would be preparing the guys he wants to be elders of the Lusi church.” Pray for unity.

praise God for permission to import the Helicopter to Asia Pacific

Permission Granted to Import Helicopter Into Asia Pacific

Tuesday, April 15

We have been praying that permission would be granted for an R66 helicopter to be imported into Asia Pacific. The helicopter sat in Arizona as the aviation team awaited the necessary permission. Praise God that Ethnos360 Aviation has finally received approval to import the helicopter! Pray that God will use this helicopter to aid in church planting in Asia Pacific. Pray as the helicopter makes the long journey to Asia Pacific. Pray for all the additional paperwork needed to transport it to the dock, load it on a ship and transfer it at various ports until it arrives in Asia Pacific.

pray for the spread of God's Word in Papua New Guinea

“Pray That God Would Use His Word to Draw Many to Him.”

Wednesday, April 16

Will and Kelly Tallman translated the Bible and biblical comics for the Kuman people of Papua New Guinea (PNG). After the dedication last December, the team now faces the challenge of getting the Bibles and Bible materials into the hands of the quarter million Kuman people “spread out all over the country.” A Kuman believer is advertising the Bibles and materials, local store owners are displaying the new materials, and Will might even have the opportunity to address PNG parliament to share about the Kuman ministry. “Pray that God would continue to provide ways to get His Word into as many hands as possible” and that He “would use His Word to draw many to Him.”

pray for the Nʉkak people of Colombia

Pray for the Nʉkak People of Colombia

Thursday, April 17

Colin and Megan Rogers minister among the Nʉkak people of Colombia. They were away for a month and are now back among the Nʉkak. “We continue looking for opportunities to promote literacy and encourage those who can read to continue practicing. Pray for us as we continue to learn their language, gain culture insights and seek to see the world through their eyes. … [Satan] is intent on the Nʉkak never hearing the gospel. … Please pray for them. They have no hope!” Pray for the team as their “ability to visit remote Nʉkak communities is extremely limited” at this time.

pray for God's work in West Africa

Waiting on God’s Timing in West Africa

Friday, April 18

Note: Please don’t post this request on social media

TJ and Lily serve in West Africa. Pray for their team’s unity and health. “Pray for wisdom as we deal with so many cultural things on a daily basis. Pray that God would continue to prepare the hearts of [the people of the village where we live] for relationship with Jesus. Recently our host dad said, ‘We are trapped by these spirits, and we can’t get out. If we knew a way out, we would take it, but we don’t, so here we are stuck in it.’ We look forward to God’s timing when the harvest is ripe and [when] they are ready to hear.”
