DEM. REP. OF CONGO
 Rachel
Newby (Luumbashi) - “Restawhile”
Guesthouse continues to fulfil a need for accommodation for
missionaries and their visitors, as well as other Christian workers
from evangelical backgrounds, who are in
Lubumbashi.
Pray
for this ministry, for the maintenance of the property and needs of
the workers, and that it will continue to be a blessing and
encouragement to many who visit.
There have
been several clashes in
Lubumbashi
recently between Mai-Mai militia, who want the independence of
Katanga Province, and the military.
Pray
for safety at “Restawhile”
and for those living in the surrounding area.
ZAMBIA
Ian and Marilyn
Campbell (Chingola) – Please
pray
for Ian,
who after falling off a roof, sustained fractures of both the right
and left foot.
Pray
that his feet would heal fully.
JAPAN
Ken and Christine
Cowell (retired workers) –
Please continue to
pray
for the ministry at the
Milton Keynes
Japanese Church.
THAILAND
David and Maureen
Wood -
Pray
that suitable staff would be appointed to fill the vacancies for the
next school year, at
Grace International
School.
ARGENTINA
Heber and Fiona
Gallitto (Parana) ask
prayer
for Agustina
(14yrs), a friend of their
daughter
Melissa. Having recently become
a believer, she attends most meetings.
Pray
for Agustina,
her mother and two brothers, that they too would respond to the
Gospel message.
BOLIVIA
Mario and Helen
Ponce (Cochabamba) -Prayer is
asked for
Natividad, a young believer with
a family, who is due to be released from prison soon.
Pray
for her as she adjusts to life outside the prison, and for her
health, as she has to undergo Dialysis twice weekly. In addition,
Mario
would value
prayer that God will appoint two
more elders for the assembly. As the work grows the present elders,
Mario
and Will
are finding the workload heavy.
FRANCE
Alain and Christine
Monclair (Quimper Region) - Pray
for them, and other believers in the assembly, as they talk and
pray
with ‘S’,
a lady with psychiatric problems, who has been attending meetings,
that they would be open to her and give wise answers to her
questions.
Colin and Maureen
Crow (Montpellier) –After years
of searching, the assembly in
Montpellier
has found an ideal building, which is large, with a plot of land,
and has adequate parking facilities. Finances are now in order, but
the Mayor has refused permission for the premises to be used as a
church. Pray
for a change of heart as the Major has the authority to authorise
the building being used as a church.
Gerald and Dorothy
Seed (Nantes) ask
prayer
for the Christian bookshop in
Nantes
city centre. Major renovations have been carried out and new IT
equipment installed.
Pray
for volunteer staff, that they would have meaningful conversations
with customers, for safety when working alone, and that many who
visit the bookshop will be challenged and changed by what they hear
and read.
IRELAND
Andrew & Lorna Burt
(Enniscorthy) report that at
present about 30 teenagers attend the youth club on Sundays.
Sometimes there is challenging behaviour, but there are many
opportunities to share the gospel with them. The youth Bible study
is also encouraging with about 15 - 20 teenagers attending each
week. Pray
that they would see many young people come to faith in Christ,
through these ministries.
LOCAL
Barry Haigh (Zambia)
is with us on
Saturday,
the
13th April
at 4:00 pm, to give a Missionary Report and ministry at 6:15 pm.
