So That They Can Read God’s Word One Day
Philip and Natalie Hansen minister among the Kovol people of Papua New Guinea. Literacy classes are almost finished. Pray that the students and graduates will look forward to reading God’s Word in the Kovol language one day. Pray for Philip and his co-worker Steve as they translate the Kovol Bible. “Please pray for wisdom and inspiration from the Holy Spirit as they are dealing with difficult terms or passages that are hard to put into Kovol language.” Praise God that “there are always Kovol people eager to help check Bible passages we are translating.” Finally, pray for the biweekly kids club. “We are hoping to start teaching them the gospel this month. Please pray for regular attendance and clear understanding!”
Update: Brazil Hangar Project
Continue to pray for the construction of a hangar to house the Ethnos360 Aviation helicopter in Brazil. Ethnos360 Aviation shares, “Until this new hangar is ready, the helicopter is housed several hours away at another hangar in a different region. Please pray for the construction crew to work quickly but safely. Pray for pilot Kyle Couillard as he now has to operate out of our distant hangar [about 400 miles away]. … We are praying for no emergencies or medevacs, as it would involve Kyle taking a commercial flight to the distant hangar, getting the helicopter and flying to whatever location is needing the emergency flight.”
The Cora Church Is Ministering to One Another
Lucas and Jessica Rondy minister among the Cora people of Mexico. Recently “one of the couples who have come to church for years suddenly stepped away.” Because Chava and Andy, Lucas and Jessica’s Cora-speaking co-workers, are on home assignment, two women from the church stepped up to the plate. They visited with the couple who had stopped coming to church, “crying with them, sharing in their pain [over a challenging situation with their son], reminding them of God’s truth [in the Cora language].” Praise God that this couple has asked God for forgiveness and returned to the church. Praise God that the Cora church is caring for each other and growing spiritually. Pray for Lucas and Jessica as they learn more of the Cora language.
