PHILIPPINES

Continue to pray for those affected by the typhoon flooding, especially Jonathan and Jingle Bradford (Manilla), who have lost all their furniture, almost all their clothes, books, mattresses and appliances. They are currently disinfecting their house and trying to salvage as much as possible, but the conditions are dire. The church building has been turned into a relief centre. Pray for safety from disease and danger. Pray that there will be a change in the weather, that relief goods and evacuation teams will reach those without food and water, and for the Lord’s peace.

BELGIUM

Anne Dryburgh (Gent) requests prayer for her contacts, especially one Christian lady who has experienced opposition from within her home. Through this trial she has grown in her faith, but has also suffered for the decisions made. Pray, too, that Anne will be helped as she leads a group where subjects relating to depression will be discussed. Pray that the Lord will work in people’s hearts as they deepen their relationship with Him.
