THIS WEEKS PRAYER ITEMS
Thank you for praying for the people and work of GC3.
Prayer is critical to all we and our mission partners do in our ministries so thank you in joining us in praying through the items we provide each week. The task of presenting the Gospel is far from over; there remains vast number of people globally who have yet to hear of God’s love.
Marty (Day 26)
I am in Tonga for a week. There are many of us gathering to seek the Lord about the pacific region and how we can best serve the people. Please pray for a good outcome.
Drew & Kirsty (Day 9)
Pray we can finally get Spanish licenses. It is our last big administrative task
Pray for new friendships and contacts we can pour into
Pray for our language learning (Spanish and Darija)
Pray for strengthening and encouragement
Jeff & Ginny (Day 1)
Praise the Lord that the Goo family arrived safely in Korea.
Jeff had finger surgery last week. His finger is slowly getting better, but is not fully yet. Please pray for a smooth and full recovery.
Praise the Lord - Jeff had a follow-up liver check and the results were very positive and encouraging.
Our family will be in Korea until January for a few more medical appointments. Please pray that we can organise our time well.
The kids are doing their end-of-term assessments. Please pray that they can finish them well and with good hearts.
Darron & Susan (Day 8)
We leave for Liberia on November 24th. At this stage, we are planning to be there for at least two years. Please pray for safe travels and for us to settle in well.
John (Day 20)
Please pray for my short visit back to Papua New Guinea starting next week. I have a number of matters that I need to attend to as I look to finish up my time in going to PNG (Wewak in particular) in the coming year. There continues to be many challenges but despite these God's work continues especially at the grass roots level and among the youth and tertiary trained students. My role is to continue to assist in strengthening the administration of the National Office across all its entities and responsibilities. Thanks for your prayers.
Graham (Day 21)
Please pray for Graham with a busy schedule for his last two weeks in Delhi. Good Kidz School is planning a Winter Fete on 21st November, the day before Graham flies out. Please pray that this will help kick-start enrolments for next school year.
Kathleen & Anita (Day 17)
Thank you for praying for the situation with Vitelio, the man we have been caring for after his accident. We coped without the 24/7 male carers we thought we would need, and he is now walking alone with a walking stick. We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but we have a caring God who has never left our side through broken nights and difficult days, and nothing is too hard for Him!
We have concluded that our prayer request for Ivan to find other accommodation is not how we should be praying. Although starting this week, life will be more hectic right through till mid-January, our prayer will be Ephesians 3:20 asking that God will be exalted and glorified no matter what.
Pray for wisdom to manage the situation with our adult children who resent outsiders living with us and have difficulty in accepting our ministry. Juggling family and ministry does not cease to be a challenge.
Andrew & Karen (Day 11)
Please remember the OBT team as we work with two languages this week, and then three other languages for the next two weeks. May we faithfully represent His word to these teams, and may His word penetrate deep into all our hearts as we work.
Please also remember to the Lord our need for English teachers from January 2026. May our Lord guide our thoughts and our planning as we look to the year ahead.
And finally, as we nurture young tribal men and women in high school (3 males, 1 female) and vocational studies (3 males, 5 females), may He take hold of their hearts and minds, so that they truly become His people.
Ashley (Day 11)
The 15th marked the end of the six-month period expected for the new visa process. Please pray that the response arrives soon and that there is enough time to complete the remaining steps. Thank you.
Rick (Day 21)
The next 2.5 weeks will be full of face-to-face meetings and building of relationships and connections to open further work possibilities in the future. I would very much appreciate your prayers, that we would make the right connections and doors would be opened, that we would remain healthy with this busy schedule and be able to fit in the most important meetings with the right people. Pray also for the training I will be involved in next week, that we would communicate clearly and people would grasp and be able to use the information well.
Murray & Ruth (Day 9)
Pray for Ruth as she is always in high demand as she supports many people near and far.
Pray for the 25 experienced translation consultants who are taking Murray’s 3-week intensive course on Ezekiel (24th Nov – 12th Dec). Pray they will learn new skills that will enable them to accurately understand this book with all its mysteries, ambiguous details, and complications. Pray for guidance, clarity, patience, health, good interactions, and energy as Murray prepares this week and teaches from next week onwards – and as he mentors a next-generation trainee trainer. Pray for the technology to work well.
Karl & Helene (Day 4)
Please pray for the local elections in Mt Hagen. They have not finished the counting yet but there is a lot of fighting which we guess may escalate once the counting is finished and results announced.
A friend with a 5-day old baby had to evacuate Sunday night due to fighting in their suburb. Please pray for all the families affected by the fighting.
Please pray as Karl is coordinating with a work colleague to record the gospel in Tok Pisin (one of the national languages) that the recording is successful.
Hazel (Day 16)
Many thanks for your prayers over the past months. I can now use the walker in the house. Today I took a few steps without a walker or a walking stick with the physiotherapist at my side. We have much to thank the Lord for.
My ministry continues in my house with different visitors of all ages as well as communicating with many in various ways. So many need a listening ear and a word of encouragement. It is encouraging as the school year ends to see those who have made good use of the opportunities we have given to them through the year. I am invited to different graduations. Programs with the Bible classes are being prepared. I have been able to share ideas. I hope to attend some of these.
Matthew & Hannah (Day 25)
Pray for us as we each look to wrap up work and study responsibilities before heading over to the Philippines in January next year. Pray for Matthew as he is preparing lectures and notes for teaching a class on Christian growth at the Lake Learning camp, trying to decide what information would be most beneficial for the campers and how to present it in an accessible way. Pray for people in the central and northern Philippines who have been badly affected by recent typhoons. Thank the Lord that the Safa community where Hannah was based for eight years is safe. Thank the Lord for financial provision for next year. We have had several things fall into place in a way that is extremely encouraging.
Kirsty (Day 8)
Please pray for continued improved health after months of sickness. Also, continued safety as the rains have begun making the roads more dangerous than usual.
Ashley & Gillian (Day 19)
We appreciate prayer for two Sigatoka Community Church deacons who with two others were involved in a serious motor accident. One of the occupants received life threatening injuries and transferred to Lautoka hospital. Two men sustained long term injuries and the need for rehabilitation to treat internal, spinal and neck vertebrae damage.
The Fiji Brethren youth is gearing up for the annual camp at Coral Coast Camp scheduled for early December with a record number registering to attend the 5-day duration. The theme of the camp is “I Surrender”. This year we have observed some gifted and promising youth emerging in the assemblies who are encouraged to use their potential to equip and train as possible future church leaders of the next generation.
We continue to remain in touch with personnel and churches to pray, encourage them and ascertain the needs.
Marion (Day 6)
Snow has arrived at our front door! Pray for a brother in hospital, an elderly sister confined to home, and a family meeting in their home during the winter months.
Pray for children's Christmas activities on the 13th and main Christmas outreach on 21st Dec. Pray for the preparations that are in progress. Thank you for your fellowship in making Christ known day by day.
Andrew & Patrizia (Day 9)
Here in Italy, it's evangelistic calendar distribution time. Winter is fast approaching. Please pray for the Lord's guidance for a trip to Seggiano and back to distribute 100 calendars. Seggiano is an unreached town in Tuscany with no Evangelical/Pentecostal churches closer than an hour's drive.
Jack & Jemima (Day 3)
Jack's studies have finished, and we are winding down for the end of the year. We are thankful for the Lord's amazing providence this year - Matthew 6:8. We would be so thankful for prayer for continued growth in God's wisdom and love.
