DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

Short-term worker Jean Sharman-Golder arrived safely home on the 12th January. Thank God for travelling mercies.

ZAMBIA

Timothy and Joy Beer (Loloma) request prayer for God’s blessing on the gospel outreaches held on Mondays in the area around Loloma and for the strengthening of the many assemblies in the Loloma area. Pray, too, for Joy as she home-schools their children David and Daniel.

Helen Hindson (short-term worker now convalescing in N. Ireland) would covet prayer for herself and her Kalene Hospital friends. She asks prayer particularly for the African driver of the vehicle they were travelling in who sustained bad head injuries, and recently over the Christmas period has seen the deaths of his 5-year old twin boys from malaria, and is deeply grieving. He is also probably still the worst injured.

PERU

Please continue to remember in prayer Ken and Alison Barrett’s (Madrid) visit to Peru. In particular, please pray that they will cope with altitude sickness. From Monday to Thursday this week they are in Huaraz, visiting a project where there are Spanish workers. This weekend they head to Yurimaguas in the high jungle region to join Luis and Anne-Laure Mostacero for the missionary institute sessions.

FRANCE

Mike Packer reports that Alison is making good progress and is now able to eat certain foods and drink without any adverse reactions. She is also having an hour of physiotherapy each day and even goes out for a short walk in the clinic grounds. Please pray for this good progress to continue. 

LOCAL
