The prayer requests listed here are, as far as is sensibly practical, for activities that are happening on the particular week. A list of previous weekly Missionary Prayer requests can be found here.

The Assembly also publishes a monthly Missionary Prayer Newsletter, for prayer requests on a longer time-scale. Click here for this month's prayer newsletter.

JAPAN

On 7th and 8th November, Ronnie Cairns (Akashi) will be preaching the gospel and teaching at a pioneer work in Izumisano in the south of Osaka. Pray that the Lord will give him the right messages.

Jonathan and Jingle Bradford (Manilla) ask for continued prayer as further typhoons are expected during November and December. Pray that they their home will not suffer further damage. Jonathan has been staying in the house to prevent it being looted.

Please pray for Peter Ferry (Phuket), who underwent a cataract operation in Malaysia last Monday. When he returns to Phuket he will be involved in the visit of the OM ship, m.v. “Doulos”, from Nov 18th—27th, helping with translation and conducting Bible studies with crew members.

FRANCE

Gerry and Dorothy Seed (Nantes) ask for prayer for a special ‘Open Doors’ day they will be holding on 7th November, when folk will be invited to the new church building to find out more about their activities. Pray for a good reception from the local community and that contacts will be made.

Alain and Christine Monclair (Quimper Region) ask for prayer for the Centre des Jeunes Christian camp centre at St. Lunaire.

The board will be meeting from 6th to 8th November and prayer is requested for clear guidance as they make major decisions. Paul and Andrea Smith are planning to join this work shortly.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

SPAIN

Ken and Alison Barrett (Madrid) report that the church has lost its court case against Alcala City Council. This means that the council will be able to charge them a tax for preaching in the open air and also sets a precedent that may affect other churches. Please pray that suspicion of evangelical groups will be removed. This Saturday, 7th November, outreach teams will come together in Madrid city centre for a 7-hour day of preaching, at 7 different points, in 7 different languages. Pray that many Madrid churches will cooperate and accept their wider responsibility to make Christ known. Pray for conversions and for a positive attitude from the police. Prayer is also requested for Alison’s student camp which takes place this weekend, to train students for university outreach.
