Samuel & Alissa Sanchez, (Colombia, DPG Day 5)
Samuel has been keeping busy with the upkeep of the campsite as well as bible studies, preaching and youth group. He has had a few trips to Neiva to encourage the believers there. Our trip last month was special as we were able to go as a family, due to Hannah´s improvement. We have seen a real improvement over the last 2 months and pray she can continue on this path. We are still working with doctors to find the cause for her illness and are relieved to be finally getting a few answers, but we are on a real journey of faith and patience and we work through this with her. We value your prayers for us all.

A trip to Canberra for a few days is included this month to visit Tina's parents. Each farewell with them becomes much harder.

Please pray for deep meaningful moments of spiritual significance with them. Pray for Phi Jim who is running a Christmas outreach for her village with the help of Tukada, Ek and Mek her adult children.

Pray for them as they return to their families. Pray for the spiritual growth of our young people as they seriously look to expand the ministry to more young people next year. It is exciting to see them take the initiative.

Media for Movements (M4M): in 2025 I will transition into a more formal role (one day per week) to support this strategy by sharing monthly stories from M4M workers and ministries across regions.

Simon & Ann, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 30)
This year, we embarked on a new ministry in a new location and with a new organisation. We are now engaged in training church leaders in Jakarta. Simon, together with his co-worker John, has initiated two courses aimed at training pastors and ministry leaders in Indonesia. Please pray that God would raise up more workers for the training in Indonesia. Perhaps some of the current students will, in the future, join as lecturers. Pray we would continue to settle into Jakarta life. For health, as the pollution here is very bad. For God to grow the reach of our course and impact the church with the importance of solid biblical teaching and a clear gospel. For Gospel opportunities.
Paul & Leah Davies (Enroute to Republic of Ireland, new to DPG)
Our current prayer is that God would give us the grace to cope with our newest living arrangements as we move out of college accommodation into a granny flat, with all the kids in one room and no storage. We will need His help to love one another in such a small space. We also ask God to guide us and provide church partners who will hold us in prayer and send us out. We have been greatly encouraged already by God’s provision and look forward to the next stage.
