Weekly Prayer Requests - August 25, 2010

 

DAY 2 - Karl & Glynn Peterson: MOZAMBIQUE

"A year or two ago, I gave a handful of gospel tracts to an evangelist for his work [in Northern Mozambique]. Those tracts opened up a whole new field. . .  where now he has planted five churches."

 

DAY 4 - Patrick & Sherry Coleman: ZAMBIA

"At the 'Preachers' Clinics' in Luanshya, men came together to learn how to put a sermon or Bible study lesson together and how to organize their notes. . . The purpose of the class is to train preachers and teachers how to be more adept in their ministries."

 

DAY 6 - Alice White: ZAMBIA

"The latest [HIV/AIDS work] is a support group for HIV positive patients. They are learning to sew on some donated sewing machines and the items they make they can sell. We are thankful that we have a very good woman teaching them, and a supply of material and thread that has come in parcels."

 

DAY 9 - Holly Lucas: PHILIPPINES

"People ask what a typical day in my life looks like. I wish there was 'typical' in the Philippine vocabulary. I have had to learn that life works very different here and days hardly ever go according to my plan. If it's not a typhoon and power outage, it is traffic or the all too often crisis of [people]. Flexibility is a way of life here."

 

DAY 14 - Jim & Kathy Moriarty: IRELAND

"The summer [meetings with the travelers in Co. Kildare] will be very flexible according to their travel plans. . . Several of the teens will be married amongst them. These are young people professing faith but getting married to [other faith] mates.  They get desperate as there are no Christian travelers available. . . Pray for conversions amongst the travelers and for Christian marriages."

 

DAY 15 - Mirek & Beata Marczak: POLAND

"Human Library is a project designed to promote dialogue, reduce prejudices, and encourage understanding. Visitors are given the opportunity to speak informally with 'people on loan' - a group of people being extremely varied in age, sex, and cultural background. This year I was one of these living books. Pray for all the people I was able to talk to, and for my participation in the next edition of Human Library."

 

DAY 25 - Michael & Sara Meiers: PARAGUAY

"We picked up another hour of radio time per week when a local brother gave us the time as he didn't have time to do it. Sara is hosting a ladies' program on that radio now."
