Prayer Matters is published every Tuesday.
Daniel & Emily, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 6)
Pray for Dan and Em as they guide their 10‑week video storytelling course, asking God to sustain their energy, deepen the students’ learning, and help each young participant finish well and use these skills wisely in their own communities. Pray for wisdom as they shape this training for local partners to lead in the future. Pray for creativity, unity, and Spirit‑led collaboration as they prepare upcoming film projects, and for the three teammates joining Dan—may their pre‑trip training form them well. Pray also for Emily as she speaks at a women’s event in Sydney, that her words would be clear, faithful, and deeply encouraging.
Claire Morris, (Spain, DPG Day 18)
Pray for Claire to walk in the lightness Jesus offers, laying down perfectionism and pressure and receiving His peace. Pray for her neighbours and English friends, that small sparks of interest would grow into saving faith. Pray for wisdom, boldness, and trust in God’s timing, and for perseverance in Spanish. Pray also for her family to keep responding to His gracious work.
Paul & Fenny, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 20)
Pray for strength in re‑entry when sadness, homesickness, and setbacks linger, asking God to renew their motivation to keep doing good and trust His promised harvest. Pray for joy over new brothers brought from darkness to light, and for comfort amid grief, strain, and fragile relationships. Pray that their eyes stay fixed on the One who will swallow up death forever, sustaining them to press on.
Simon & Ann Pyatt, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 21)
Pray for Simon and Ann as they prepare to return to New Zealand, asking God to provide clarity about the scholarship, strength for Simon as he studies, and refreshment in time with family and church. Pray for Annabelle as she helps care for their home, and for the upcoming preaching summit on 18 May—that pastors would be equipped, encouraged, and stirred to faithfully teach God’s Word.
Paul & Erin Strahan, (Australia: R&R, DPG Day 24)
Pray for comfort for communities in Collarenebri and beyond as they grieve so many recent deaths, and for young Jack to grow strong in his new faith. Pray for gospel fruit from the outreach, for unity and strength among believers, and for smooth settling into Term 2. Pray that God would send more workers to serve these remote communities with limited fellowship.
Andrew & Catherine Walkington, (QLD, DPG Day 27)
Pray for Andrew, Catherine, and the children as they pack, move, and settle into their new home, asking for peace—especially for the younger ones—and strength through the transition. Pray for rest during their annual leave and a smooth return to ministry mid‑May. Pray for the following people: Ben as he wrestles with truth, and Daniel as he seeks answers, ask God to draw both toward the gospel.
Seng Hock & Luba Yeoh, (Japan, DPG Day 29)
Pray for protection over young believers in Japan as cults and heretical groups actively seek to deceive and thank God for exposing danger before harm was done. Pray for wisdom and discernment for the church and student leaders, for Zion’s healing and adjustment, for Masae‑san and other new connections, and for God to guide the new online Bible study so many students may encounter His truth.
