Prayer Matters is published every Tuesday.
Daniel & Emily, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 6)
Dan has now been in our country of service for a couple of days and has already been able to meet with a bunch of different people, having some really helpful brainstorming conversations about future ideas. Last week, he launched a new testimony video. The testimony shares a personal experience of encountering Jesus so that others from a similar background who are searching would be encouraged to ask the same questions she did and meet Jesus too. Pray that it will impact many people who watch it.
Christina Eglinton, (SA, DPG Day 7)
Praise God that we have now received confirmation of our current officials from the Registrar of Societies. Continue to pray that our paperwork at the Trustees Office will be refiled without interference this time. Please pray for the final school exams for both primary & JSS schools due to start next Monday. Pray for the upcoming Vacation Bible School (VBS) scheduled for the 2nd week of November. Pray for a good turnout like last time & for hearts to be touched. Pray for replacements for 2 teachers leaving us at the end of the year. Pray that God would provide the right people to replace them of sound testimony & doctrine.
Georgie, (Taiwan, DPG Day 9)
Praise God that my landlord has agreed to renew my house lease for another year, even though the rent has slightly increased. Please pray for my team and me as we consider how to better engage Indonesian migrants over the Christmas period, through a special outreach event. Please pray for the upcoming Christmas services for international foreigners (mainly from Southeast Asia) imprisoned in Taiwan. Please pray that the Gospel message will be clearly shared and hearts touched. Praise God for the opportunity to study abroad for one semester at a university in Indonesia, from January to July 2026. Please continue to pray that God would provide a good friend for me here in Taiwan.
Mark & Priscilla Jennings, (Australia, DPG Day 12)
Life in Sydney has had its share of ups and downs. It’s been great to meet old friends again and meet some new ones. Settling in is a process. We have taken on our new roles as interim Deputy Branch Leaders for WEC Australia. We also serve on WEC Australia’s Branch Council. Priscilla represents WEC at a mission’s morning program at SMBC every second Tuesday. She has enjoyed hanging out and building relationships with some of the students. Please pray for wisdom as we go deeper into our new roles. Continue to pray for Sarah and Johanna back in Tassie. They are planning to come up to us for Christmas.
Luke & Dania, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 15)
Praise the Lord for the distribution of Access Truth’s “His Story” in Africa and Asia, through churches, schools and in prisons. Pray for those who read it to come to an understanding of the truth and seek further knowledge of the Word. Pray for those who are marginalised and disadvantaged in our societies. Pray that God will provide help, empower Christians to be compassionate leaders and empathetic advocates of those who are suffering and actively work to help those in need and ultimately share God’s love with them.
Carol Luttah, (PNG, DPG Day 15)
We are experiencing integrity challenges among employees, and despite tighter system controls, there are still problems with theft. Pray for wisdom in managing staff, expenditures amid skyrocketing fuel prices and the rising cost of doing business. This affects our ability to make Christian resources affordable.
Nara, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 19)
Pray for Nara as she continues to source sales contracts for the business she uses for “tentmaking” in K. She needs to prove herself to her employer and the investors. She has managed to secure one contract but needs a lot more in order to be credible. Praise for the amazing opportunity to chat with attendees at a free marketing seminar that she hosted as outreach. She spoke about “Ethics in Business” and was able to witness when asked about her values and basis for ethics. Praise for a Turkish brother who is helping her with design and advertising. Pray for continued opportunities to share the gospel in this unique setting.
Gavin & Janet Petersen, (Australia, DPG Day 20)
Pray as Petersens travel to Brazil Oct 28 – Nov 25 to (hopefully) finalise the sale of their house there. It has been difficult, and the proposed buyer is not cooperating very well. Pray the sale goes through.
Liz Pfeifer, (Thailand, DPG Day 20)
Pray for Liz as she spends time in Australia for Home Assignment until May/June 2026. Pray for encouragement during this time, opportunities to share with churches and individuals, and for an increase in her prayer and financial support levels. Pray for her as she attends to medical needs while in Australia, including knee osteoarthritis and wrist pain (which are worse in the cold weather). Pray for her as she prepares for and sits a 2-hour exam for her IT degree on November 3. Pray for a good break from study until March 2026 and that she will be able to have some good rest.
Simon & Ann Pyatt, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 21)
Pray for Simon and Anni in Kalimantan this week for teaching and preaching. They ask that people’s eyes are opened to what God has called us all to do, His way. Pray for Anni who will be caring for their co-workers 3 children when they get back. She says, “Please pray I have all the energy needed and that the children have a good time, no incidents!”
Bill & Nicoletta Quinert, (Italy, DPG Day 21)
Please pray for my friend Walter & I as we share the Gospel often on the streets in different languages, we need love boldness, & courage, plus your prayers.
Rob & Denise, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 22)
Our 2 Indian ladies were rejected from receiving their visas. It is very disappointing but especially for them who felt such a deep conviction to be here. Pray they know the Lord’s guidance and peace at this difficult time. I am still having a lot of pain with the Shingles and very tired. Pray for a speedy recovery.
Robyn & Stefanie Tommy, (PNG, DPG Day 26)
It is great to see all of our students and teachers at Lifehope now enjoying the lovely large new classrooms that were built this year. Praise for God’s provision and for all the young students at the school. Please pray for our boys. Next year we may have to homeschool our boys full time because the distance to the primary school for grade 3 is too far for them to manage by themselves. Continue to pray for the family’ health and protection and stamina for the constancy of being “on call” living in a village.
Seng Hock & Luba Yeoh, (Japan, DPG Day 29)
Praise for the three young people (Tang, Cho and Yo) who will be baptized on November 2. The pastor mentioned he has never baptized three people on the same day—usually, it’s just one at a time. This upcoming baptism will be a significant and joyful moment for the church, a visible sign of God’s work among internationals in Japan, and a great encouragement to the whole community. Another wonderful answer to prayer: two new students from Hong Kong have joined Waseda CBS (Chinese Bible Study). Both are strong believers and a great encouragement to the group. Continue to pray for our language study and opportunities to reach out to international university students and others in our community.
Luke & Sarah Mills, (Tasmania, Enroute 2026)
This year we have been researching different teams in the North Africa region. Recently, we reached out to three separate teams via email and online video chats. Our agency requires new workers to do an in-person visit before deciding, so this is the next step for us. We have booked our tickets and travel plans are now to leave from Launceston on 12th November, visit two countries in North Africa, and then arrive back in Australia on November 28th. Please pray for discernment and His wisdom in asking the right questions, experiencing the reality of situations, and making wise decisions over a long-term placement for us.
AMT Urban Mission Camp, (Melbourne 2026)
Urban Mission Camp is an intensive training camp offering practical outreach opportunities open for Christians aged 18–35 from across Australia and NZ, to be held in Melbourne from 6–11 April 2026. Please pray for the AMT team, guest speakers, and outreach leaders as they plan and prepare, for lots of interest (and attendance) from our target audience, and for adequate financial support. Pray that participants will be inspired, equipped, and mobilised to share Jesus boldly in their everyday lives and beyond.
