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.
Nigel & Nicola (Day 25)
Please pray for safe travels. Lord willing, I head to Israel at the beginning of March as part of a tour, before going to the US (Houston and San Antonio) for a deputation. Please keep Nicola and my family in your prayers while I am away.
Trinity & Liv (Day 10)
After a time of sickness over Christmas, we are back into the semester. Praise God that we have just finished translating our first book which we will use as a resource for the Bible training centre in Norway. Pray that the editing and publishing process will go smoothly. Pray for Trinity’s seminary semester that is in full swing. Pray for Liv and the children in their homeschooling responsibilities. We are also planning our trip back to Norway to serve the church over the summer. Pray for the practicalities, specifically that we will have a place to stay and a vehicle for the time there.
Margie (Day 24)
I am excitedly counting down to my departure for The Family Centre in Romania. I leave on 11th March and return on 3rd June. Would you pray with me for wisdom as I plan the itinerary, and for Carol and Amber, who will be joining me for a month. We want every moment to truly count. Thank you for standing with us in prayer as this next chapter unfolds.
Russell & Sue (Day 22)
Please pray for the new students at the Gospel School for the Deaf as they settle in and adjust to new routines. We also have two new students in our hostels and one returning after a year away. One of the new students is a young girl and it is hard for both her and her parents. We would appreciate prayer for our teachers as they settle into new classes. School learning is important but learning the truths of the Bible is even more important!
Murray & Ruth (Day 9)
The Psalms workshop in Asia went very well. All 25 participants stayed healthy and they learnt well. Two days after Murray's return, his next two online courses began. For both courses, pray for reliable technology, wisdom, clarity, good health, positive interactions, and stamina as Murray balances both teaching commitments. Pray that these translation consultants will gain skills to guide translation teams and to check their drafts for accuracy before publication. Thank you!
Darron & Susan (Day 8)
Last week we had an unexpected trip to the capital, as the clutch in our truck went out. It ended up being more than the clutch. We needed a new drive shaft and front differential too! We are thankful for safety while traveling, especially as we had no idea how bad it was! We are also thankful to have the truck fixed; it is a necessary tool for ministry here.
We have a team here this week, prayers are appreciated as we continue to learn how to navigate teams. We are thankful they arrived safely, with all their bags! We are also thankful for safe travels through police checkpoints from the airport to the town we live in.
Stephen & Karen (Day 15)
We would appreciate you praying for Lizzie as she approaches her IGCSE exams in May, that she will finish her northern hemisphere schooling well.
Please keep praying for us as we continue the handover briefing of leadership of our region to the new leaders.
Please pray also for us as we prepare for our return to Australia toward the end of this year, with all the financial logistical details that this involves.
Richard & Yuko (Day 6)
My son and daughter, Russell and Joy hope to join me on my visit to NZ on the 12th to 24th March. May all our movements have God’s blessing.
At the funeral of the American pioneer of Gerald's family's church, many saints demonstrated good progress in godliness. Praise God. Thank you for your prayers.
Pascal & Renee (Day 3)
Please thank God for two new people who have started with MAF and are working in the engineering team. For a long time, we have been praying that MAF could employ more people to work in the hangar- so this has been an answer to prayer.
Phil & Jill (Day 24)
Please pray for Jill as she flies out to PNG next Monday. Pray for good flights and connections and safety in travel on roads. Jill will be taking 30kg of medical goods from medical aid abroad. Pray it gets through customs ok and safely to the clinics. There has been little or no medical supplies for any clinic in PNG for the last few months, so this is much needed. Pray for good connections with her staff in the dental/ medical clinics at CLTC, and serves the local community.
Please pray for Phil, for strength, wisdom and divine help on how to handle the many issues at CLTC. (Phil is the principal of the education division). It can be overwhelming. There are lots of staff, security and financial issues.
Pray for the finance to fund the triple increase in internet costs now that starlink has been banned by the government.
Give praise for the many students enrolling in the programs at CLTC. Pray they would be able to pay their fees.
Praise for the four centre's (soon to be five) we have running around the country. We rely on the internet to keep the classes going. The solar power is still having issues and not running as expected. It would be amazing to have this resolved. We are thankful to the Lord for you all.
Simon & Ann (Day 4)
Please pray for Simon this week as he interprets for a guest teacher at the Expository Academy.
Praise the Lord that we have been able to secure a rental in the neighbourhood where the church will be relocating.
We have until mid-March before the fasting month holiday begins, when transportation becomes difficult, to move into our new home. Please pray that we will have the time, provision, and necessary furniture for the move, as we are currently renting a furnished apartment and the new rental is unfurnished.
