The Next Generation of “K” Believers
Jeff and Naomi minister among the “K” people of Asia Pacific. “[R]ecently one of the ‘K’ Bible teachers felt burdened for the kids, and he started up a Sunday school time for them. Naomi and I sat in on their meeting, and it was so cool! They meet for 40 minutes or so, before the main service, and they’re studying the ‘Creation to Christ’ material, just not quite as in depth as the adults’ version of it. I couldn’t believe how attentive the kids were. They listened quietly but also interacted with the teacher so well! What an unexpected answer to prayer this is! We pray that God will use it to raise up this next generation of ‘K’ kids to know Him and walk with Him.”
Congratulations, Graduates
Pray for the graduating class at Ethnos360 Bible Institute (EBI). Some will be moving on to Ethnos360 Training Center to be trained as missionaries, some will stay at the Bible school as interns and others will be moving on to other jobs and ministries. Pray that the things they have learned from Scripture during their time at EBI will stick with them for many, many years and that they will continue to be students of God’s Word throughout the rest of their lives. Pray that God would give them direction in next steps and that the graduates would trust in Him to meet their needs. Praise the Lord of the harvest for sending out more laborers into His harvest (see Matthew 9:38).
Coming Soon: If you receive the Ethnos360 magazine, you can read about how Ethnos360 Bible Institute impacts students’ lives in the upcoming June issue.
God Has Raised Up More Missionaries
Don and Chrissy Chubb serve in support roles in Mexico, and Don teaches classes at the missionary training program in Chihuahua. Praise God for “a continued increase in new missionary families joining Ethnos Mexico. Currently we have 11 couples or singles enroute to Mexico either through completing our missionary training program here in Mexico or coming from other parts of the world (USA, Canada and Germany mostly). We are so excited to welcome them to the field, and their partnership is an answer to many prayers for more laborers! … It has been so encouraging to see some of our students go through our Bible institute and missionary training and then join us as co-laborers in this great task of reaching the unreached!”

Illness, Preschool and Faithfulness in Mozambique
Francois and Nadia Hattingh minister among the Mwinika people of Mozambique. Nadia has an illness that has prevented the Hattinghs from living and ministering among the Mwinika church right now. Pray for healing. Pray for the church to “remain strong in the faith and be an effective witness” while the missionaries are not with them physically. Praise God that through the new preschool project they have started, Mwinika preschoolers “will not only learn the basics of literacy, math and science, but also hear about the Creator and His story of redeeming the world. … Please pray with us for the project, for the two teachers and that each child attending will come to know Jesus as their personal Savior.”
A Bonding Experience in Arctic Canada
Gideon and Cassidy Willard serve in Arctic Canada. They are learning the Inuit culture and language, and recently they were encouraged to be able to share important life stories with their language nurturers who in turn “shared parts of their personal stories and memories with us!” Praise God for this opportunity to grow closer with their language nurturers. “Please pray that we would remain diligent in our language learning, that the gap between our understanding and our speaking would become smaller. [Pray] for boldness and opportunities to use the Inuktitut we know and for God’s continued grace in abundance during this learning process.”
