Calvin & Shirley Oule, (Uganda, DPG Day 3)
Please pray for our kids as they come across many new things in Australia and experience many new influences, we would appreciate prayer for them. Please pray as we keep seeking the Lord’s direction for our family and ministry.
Larelle Smith, (China/HK, DPG Day 7)
We recently had the privilege of sharing at a vocational training institute about poverty and the situation that the “cardboard collectors” face. This is not a Christian institute, so we take all opportunities to educate and be involved in activities while hoping to also share snippets of God and His heart for others. Pray for these students and for many more opportunities for us to share God’s love.
Seng Hock & Luba Yeoh, (Japan, DPG Day 7)
Please continue to pray for us in language study, there have been a few setbacks that have dampened our motivation. After much thought, prayer, and discussions with our leaders, we decided to transition to part-time language study in the next term, starting in the third week of April. Recently we met with leaders from KGK (Japan Christian Student Association, the Japanese equivalent of AFES). One key decision that came out of these meetings is that we will serve with KGK, as its focus on student ministry aligns well with our vision to reach students from the big country. Navigating several transitions at once has been tough. I often find myself feeling scattered, even double-booking appointments. Please pray for God’s strength, enabling us to be patient and steady during this time.
Murray & Leila Lydeamore, (SA, DPG Day 18)
Murray writes, “It is with sadness and a heavy heart that I write to inform you that Leila, my wife of 61 years, passed away peacefully on Saturday (22nd) into eternal rest with her Lord and Saviour. She lived much of her 82 years loving and serving Him, reflecting His goodness and kindness in unwavering faith. Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing she is now in His presence.” Please be praying for Murray, Darren and Meredith, and the whole family as they adjust to life without Leila. A celebration service will be held at Craigmore Christian Centre on April 5th .
Ian & Leann Buckley, (Specialist, DPG Day 23)
We thank the Lord that on Thursday Leann was officially signed over the 8848 Training Business. Worth waiting for, PTL! Please keep praying for the next step of organising the best bank to use for the business.
Kevin Dyer, (Specialist, DPG Day 24)
Over this past weekend, thirteen people who are friends of Bright Hope were able to deliver materials and money into the island. Please praise God for the mighty miracles he has done in getting the funds there. We couldn’t get the funds in for Christmas, but now everything is there. The money is being used for several things. We have provided funds for 20,000 meals for poor believers. Many of these are widows and orphans. We were also able to purchase 150 bicycles and give them to pastors and evangelists. When they each received a bicycle, they got down on their knees on the floor and literally cried at this provision for them. These men and women have been walking several hours to villages to preach the gospel, often in the darkness to get back home and were hugely at risk of being beaten and robbed. Pray for their ministry.
Christina Eglinton, (Specialist, DPG Day 24)
Pray for the upcoming VBS (Vacation Bible School) planned for early April by the onsite church. The VBS will target all ages up to 18 yrs so pray for a good turn-out & for the Lord to touch hearts, as they cover some chapters in Genesis. Pray for Pst Omwamba as he seeks to evangelise the Kisii region, sometimes walking on foot in the hilly region. Pray for God to touch hearts & to bring people to the point of salvation in Christ. Pray for Mary Omwamba to improve in health. Pray for our onsite school as we attempt to secure registration for the JSS (Junior Secondary School) section of it. Pray we would succeed without being asked for bribes!! Please pray that God would provide sponsors for the 4 new children. We may yet be getting another child from the Children’s Department, a girl of 15 rescued from the streets. Pray for the salvation of all of these children. Keep praying for our young men and leaders to apply the Biblical teaching to their lives and ministry.
Seni Tafa, (AMT Team, DPG Day 26)
Praise God we are less than a week away from the Made For This Event (Sat 29th). Please pray for good weather, we are unsure what will happen if the rain is severe. We have two more school to visit this week, please pray that we can engage and gain traction with the schools and many young people can attend to hear the Gospel on Saturday. Praise God for over 100 students who attended our lunch time Bible Study on Wednesday last week, we were able to share a Gospel message and hand out flyers to all. Please pray for the Gospel message this weekend that it would be clear and true, pray for me as I deliver this message. Pray for the hearts of those who attend, and that God would raise the eyes of many to see Christ Jesus. Thank you for all your prayers over these past months!
Paul & Fenny, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 28)
We are sad to share our news that Paul’s Dad has passed away. We travelled to Australia to honour Dad together with family. Due to our service far away from him, and the nature of his last illness, we did not see Dad again before he died, but we took comfort in having spent a year with Paul’s family in Perth before we moved overseas. Please pray for the family as they are home at this time.
Nara, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 30)
I have just found out that a wave of actions has been taken against likeminded brothers and sisters. Many “not for profits” are being closed and home gatherings are being treated seriously, with expats being deported. Please intercede for me. I am praising that I was directed to a commercial job rather than NFP as I am not on the radar in that way. I see this is the best way forward to stay here. Pray as I seek to also fulfill ministry.
NOTE: Due to the Easter weekend, there will be no Prayer United in April.
