ANGOLA
 Ruth
Hadley (Saurimo) asks prayer that she will find the
sufficient time needed for preparation of the three main Bible study
groups that she runs. When demands of day to day life are so many,
and in an area where people are petrified by witchcraft claims or
accusations, the importance that each endeavour is done in the
strength of Christ becomes even more paramount.

the assembly will be running a Youth Camp. Pray for
encouragement and a building up of faith for the young people

Jamie and Marilyn McIlree (Chingola) give thanks that
they are once again able to visit the prisons, after having been
unable to do so for a few months. They also visit three local
markets each week, engaging in conversations with the locals and
distributing books and Bibles.
Tim and Joy Beer (Loloma)
advise
that the camp and conference season is going well, having had a
number of youth camps and also Bible teaching conferences at
Samafunda Centre. Each of these lasts for 4 or 5 days, and
there is a great opportunity to reach young people with the Gospel
at the camps, and at the Bible conferences to teach believers from
the local churches in the area. A number of similar activities will
follow in the next 2-3 months for which they would value prayer.
In addition, they ask prayer for the daily presentation of
the gospel through the wards in the hospital, and also the
devotionals that are held with the staff twice a week. The ongoing
vision is to meet not only the physical needs, but to also spread
the truth of the Gospel for spiritual healing.
Ian and Marilyn
Campbell (Chingola)
– The new ladies
group that began with a group of believers studying the Bible, has
become a mix of believers and unbelievers and created an opportunity
for witness. Pray that these studies would challenge
and change those who don’t know Christ and encourage those who do.
Eric and Margaret
McCaughren (Kitwe)

School of Nursing, Vocational Training College, College of Education
and Mukuba University. Several young people from the assembly

BRAZIL
John and Claudette
Axford (Tupi Paulista) –A

distributed by believers in Tupi to local farming
areas have received expressions of thanks for the interest shown in
their spiritual well-being. Pray that these people would come to
understand the hope they can have in Christ.
PERU
Luis and Annelaure Mostacero (Trujillo)– Each week a
Bible Study is held for school mums when approximately ten ladies

pastoral care of the students.
