MISSIONARY PRAYER REQUESTS:

 

MARCH 2017

ANGOLA

Brian & Debbie Howden miss Ruth Hadley (see below) very much, and although they have no experience at the required admin. of the school, they are doing as much as they can to help the school function in practical ways. Please pray that the evil one will not be allowed to get in and disrupt the School any more than it already is with Ruth’s absence.

They are planning to rebuild the school in the months ahead. The original simple mud brick classrooms that were built in 2005 are in bad shape and so they propose to rebuild with cement blocks and put up a permanent structure, which will stand for many years. The teachers will be thrilled to have new classrooms and it will encourage them greatly.

They would value prayer as they try to maintain their focus on what the Lord has called them to do for Him, to preach the Gospel and to teach the Word to men who can in turn teach others also. Life is incredibly full already with just living in Angola, plus assembly meetings and responsibilities, and then the 10 weekly Bible classes. So they would covet prayer that they would be kept well, and used by the Lord in these different aspects of service.

Please remember Ruth Hadley in prayer as she faces 18 weeks of chemotherapy in her battle with cancer. She has, over the 34 years of steadfast service in Angola, proved the faithfulness of the Lord in many trials, and now stands in great need of our prayers at the moment.

 

 

 

ZAMBIA
Timothy and Joy Beer (Loloma) would appreciate prayer for Kalene Mission Hospital. An Australian missionary couple who have been working there for some years, have returned home for their children’s education. This has added responsibilities to the current administrator, Martin, and reduced his moral and spiritual support. Martin is therefore now in a tough spiritual battle from several directions, so he will very much appreciate prayer.

THAILAND
Peter and Peggy Ferry (Phuket) – Peter has recently had surgery for skin cancer. The surgeon is pleased with the results. Please pray  that Peter will recover quickly.

BRAZIL        
Andrew and Alison Renshaw (Piracicaba) would appreciate prayer for the various camps that are being held all over Brazil in the ast week of February, during carnival time. There are several camps in Piracicaba. This is an opportunity for many young people to stay clear of the licentious behaviour that accompanies the celebrations and to study God’s Word.

MEXICO
Eglon and Judith Harris (Senior workers) – The increase in the cost of services, and the devaluation of the Mexican peso is rapidly being reflected in the cost of living. Please pray as violence and unrest are on the rise and there is the yet undefined relationship between Mexico and the USA. Eglon and Judith are dedicating more time to the 25 to 35 age group (both ladies and men), helping them to develop into good teachers, well grounded in the truth. Two young men and two young married couples are doing well in this work.

 BELGIUM

Ann Dryburgh (Rekkem) - I am meeting with quite a few  ladies who have asked for help in relation to addictions and to assault. Could I please ask for prayer for those who have some form of assault in their past? It is such an evil. May the Lord work in their lives so that they know His hope and help as they seek and walk with Him.

 

 

FRANCE

Graham Black (Bouc Bel Air) has his last (D.V.) scheduled session of chemotherapy on the 16th March.  He thanks us for the support in prayer, and is most grateful.

David and Brigitte Sutherland (Lyon) would appreciate prayer for Ayrald, a disabled young man who David meets with every week. They are slowly going through Mark’s Gospel. David and Brigitte have a good relationship with his parents and have invited them to a special evangelistic meal and talk on 11 March. Pray that the Lord would speak to this couple, who claim to be Catholics, but have no beliefs in particular.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
Noel and Liza McMeekin give thanks for God's blessing at the  Postal Bible School (PBS) Prize-givings that they have had. Pray that the seed sown will take root in hearts.

In addition, pray for their son Gareth and his wife Margaret, as God has led them to take over the administration of the PBS work over the course of the next year. They have been visiting schools, and meeting principals and staff. Please pray that the work in the schools will continue into the future, despite the desire of many in government to move away from Religious Education and make all education more secular.

SPAIN
Peter and Mhairi Fleck (Algeciras) would appreciate prayer for the English class, which has been going well and will be splitting into two groups. The higher-level group will be taught by Mhairi and will be following an English course designed with Bible material. Pray that as well as a means to learn English, the students will learn more about God. They plan on giving each student a bilingual Bible to encourage them to study and read at home.
