Prayer Requests for Week Commencing 17 - 11 - 08

 

The following information comes mainly from the Echoes weekly prayer bulletin and further details can be found on their web site. Other prayer requests have come from direct communication with the missionary involved.  A list of previous weekly Missionary Prayer requests can be found here.

 

 

ANGOLA

Please remember Brian Howden’s visit to Angola until the 29th November.  His itinerary and Prayer Requests are shown here.

RWANDA

An update from Chrissie Mulindabigwi (Kigali) mentions that the situation in Goma is being monitored closely and help is being given where possible. This week the team will spend two days in the Ingarama camp (Rwanda), where there are two churches, and where all the refugees entering Rwanda are placed. As the transit camp is near the Congo border, the refugees can only stay for up to ten days before being moved on.

 

 

JAPAN

Ken and Christine Cowell (Kushiro) request prayer for Miss Noda, who was so impressed by a gospel concert held a few weeks ago at a local community centre that she attended the next gospel practice. She also went to the church on the 9th and is showing interest in knowing more about God. She has previously attended the Mormon Church, so please pray that she will come to understand true faith. In addition, there will be a craft meeting for ladies this Saturday, followed by a short message. On Sunday, an English service will be held. Recently, the number attending has increased. Please pray that God will speak to many hearts through these events.

PHILIPPINES

Please pray for Jonathan Bradford (Manila) as he teaches ‘Basic Doctrines’ to a group of 600 new students at Christ’s Commission Fellowship each Wednesday evening and Saturday morning throughout November.

CANADA

Peter Smith (right)  requests special prayer for the small assembly of Port Alberni, Vancouver Island, BC for a two week children's series from 17th - 28th Nov. D.V. Please pray that the local community will respond favourably and that the saints will have the encouragement of seeing many new recruits join their Sunday School.

FRANCE

Mike and Alison Packer (Laval) say that Lara is now at home in a special hospital bed. She is paralysed except for one arm. She has physiotherapy twice a day to help her breathing and two nurses also attend her. She is fed through a tube. Her bodily functions are gradually shutting down and blindness will probably follow. The doctors warn that she could go into a coma. For the moment she still recognises the family and occasionally smiles. She is peaceful and doesn’t appear to be suffering. It is the family’s prayer that she will be able to remain at home. Someone in the family sits with her night and day, so she is never alone. Please pray that the Lord will be very close to this family and that He will call Lara home in peace and with the family present. They are grateful for your prayers. Please also uphold in prayer the extended family and Mike and Alison’s neighbours. Pray for opportunities to bring God’s love and comfort to them.

Gerry and Dorothy Seed (Nantes) would appreciate prayer for a special meeting on 21st November at the city hall regarding the building of a new meeting place in Nantes East. Please pray for the Lord to go before them.

ITALY

Naples: Six people are to be baptised at Pozzuoli  on 23rd November; Patrizio Zucchetto will be the speaker. Please pray for him, and for the witness of those being baptised that the Lord will touch hearts.

LOCAL

Please remember in prayer “Coffee & Chat” each Wednesday morning.

David Gray (Wylam) is the planned speaker for the Gospel Service next Sunday at 6:30 pm.
