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.
Bill & Angela (Day 16)
There are members of our church who are sorrowing this month. Please pray for K who lost her older sister suddenly, and for H & L who miscarried their much awaited first child. We are looking forward to the Easter celebration sunrise service. The Discipleship Training School students will be joining us, and we have invited our neighbours. Please keep praying for the funds to come in for our church to be able to remodel the patio into a large meeting room.
Graham & Betty (Day 20)
It has been three weeks since we arrived back in Guatemala. It is so good to be here. Graham has been taking a few meetings and will be speaking this Sunday again here in the city. The following week the city church is going to camp where there will be baptisms. So far seven have asked for baptism which is encouraging. Quite a few are from the Young People’s group which we were able to get started again last year. Those leading it are developing so well too. Then in other areas there are some very difficult situations that need to be addressed and we would especially appreciate very much prayer to these situations.
Andrew & Patrizia (Day 9)
Lord willing, weather permitting, this week we have an event for the Indian women on Wednesday presenting God’s sacrificial love. Then on Friday another event, Patrizia has been asked to speak about the meaning of Easter at an event for children (and their parents) who were present at the “Easter Egg hunt” which took place in Central Fondi last Saturday morning. Thanks for praying.
Ester (Day 30)
Praise God for the just concluded website workshop in Africa. I thank God too for the privilege of helping two sensitive language projects, along with my other colleagues - with their Scripture App / websites. One language team in a sensitive region expressed their thanks that their website was launched last week after working on the contents for eight years. Continue to pray for God's wisdom for the team planning the 5-day biennial team meeting which is now going to be held in Leon, Spain and God's provision of the travel costs for all team members and board members going to the meeting.
Craig & Darlene (Day 1)
There's been a hold-up in our visa processing, so we haven't booked tickets back to Vanuatu yet. The house option we were exploring fell through; please pray for us to find a good housing situation that is safe and quiet, and in a suitable location.
Bevan & Audrey (Day 10)
Please pray for the youth who come for English classes before church. On Sunday I taught about Palm Sunday and Good Friday. Before class, all they knew about Easter was Easter eggs, although we don’t even have them here. After class I asked what they learned, and they said they learned about Jesus for the first time. We’re praying they will attend our Easter Sunday service where B. will tell of the resurrection and the gospel.
Our pastor are leading a day of discipleship training this week at one of the church plants on the outskirts of the city. Please pray for believers to grow in their understanding of their new life in Christ. Pray they will learn to not just remember Bible verses but will learn how to apply their faith in the difficult circumstances they are facing.
Graeme & Rachel (Day 4)
We would appreciate your prayer as we work with Pela'wan believers to translate John's Gospel and Acts into their language. Translation and testing is a long, hard process. Pray also that the Lord would send more people to do this kind of work.
Benjamin (Day 6)
I'm still waiting on confirmation that my research visa to Indonesia will be able to go ahead. Please pray that I would be able to get the visa in time to leave in June, and for my continued growth here in Chiang Mai.
Brian & Vicky (Day 30)
"...I will bless them that bless thee..." (Gn12:3a) the Jewish people. The Lord's word to Abram as He sent him out.
We do encourage Christians to focus on the Jews as people not knowing the Lord Jesus as Messiah. They are living a life without God. Do pray a greater number of Christians will be called into such a special work together with Him. Pray for Darryl who is coming to stay for a week. Darryl was 17 when we first met. Now in his 50’s and still going on for the Lord. Pray our time with Darryl will be a blessed one. Pray God could use it for furthering His work. Pray for Joseph who needs Christ Jesus in his heart. Right now, he wants to go to Israel and fight with his people. Please remember the work daily, for prayer is one of the best ways to bring Jews to Messiah Jesus. Pray especially that those who request the Scriptures will read them.
