God’s Word Is Going Forth!
Scott and Natasha Flaugher minister among the Elsengg people of Asia Pacific. “We are so grateful for your prayers as we continue with the evangelistic Bible teaching here in Elsengg land. … We are encouraged that our Elsengg friends are playing … recorded [Bible] lessons on their Kulumi devices in their homes. … A lot of them have also asked for Scripture to listen to, and we can hear it play throughout the day. God’s Word is going forth and being taught in this place!” Pray that people would hunger for Truth. Pray specifically for these women: Marta and her sister Yonita, Rosmina and Angsalma.
Laying the Foundation
Aaron and Bekah Kern serve in Brazil and are preparing to minister among the “K” people. House building has begun! A team of volunteer workers helped the Kerns dig postholes and lay the foundation, and a couple of wells were installed for the Kerns and their teammates. “[Praise the Lord] that we have a functioning well … [and] that we have half of the wood for our houses here on the land, brought here by our local church! … Praise [God] for more and more ‘K’ people (especially kids) coming to visit us while we build. May God prepare the soil of their hearts to receive the gospel.”
God’s Hand at Work
Joel and Andi serve in West Africa, assisting the local church in equipping missionaries. In Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), missionaries who are learning culture and language are benefitting from some new language learning “kits.” Meanwhile, eight students from the missionary training center are finishing their training and beginning ministry. In the village, “two teams who are working among two different unreached people groups … are in the process of learning language and culture and building relationships.” Praise God for raising up more missionaries. Pray for West African missionaries — that they would continue to endure in the midst of struggles and that God would be glorified through their ministries.
Learning From God’s Word
Alberto and Nancy Gonzalez minister among the Guahibo people of Colombia. Alberto and a team of indigenous church leaders have developed a series of Bible materials for believers to study in their homes, located in small villages scattered throughout the eastern plains of Colombia. The materials are sent to individuals or to married couples to study together. Over the course of several years of discipleship, God has raised up a good team of “tutors” who guide and support the people who commit to these studies. The tutors meet occasionally with Alberto to teach and encourage them, with the purpose of transmitting that edification to the families that do the studies. By God’s grace, the Bible lessons are having a great impact. Praise the Lord that the Guahibo are studying and learning from His Word.
The Dinangat People
In celebration of serving in Papua New Guinea (PNG) for 75 years, we are praying for a series of people groups New Tribes Mission PNG is working among. Today let’s pray for the Dinangat people, with a population of 1,200 spread among remote villages in the mountains.
The Dinangat lived in bondage to fear, self-righteousness and sorrow until they heard the gospel in their language for the very first time, presented by missionaries in 2008. Nearly the whole village voiced their trust in the Savior, and they have been at work taking this message to the rest of their villages since then.
Please join the Dinangat people in praising God for the new life and freedom He has given them through Jesus Christ! Pray also for boldness and perseverance to make Him known to every Dinangat generation to come for the glory of God.
