Matthew 9:38 Prayer Rhythm
This week, we invite you to set an alarm for 9:38 each day and pause to pray Matthew 9:38. Let’s ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up and send workers into His field. Your faithful prayers make a difference as we trust God to call and equip more people for His mission.
Scott & Ruth Brown, (Vic, DPG Day 2)
Praise God for provision of respite care close by after Mum's fall and hospital stay. Pray for healing and strength. Also pray for the short-term media team preparing for their Southeast Asia trip, and for clarity amid the Browns' uncertain ministry transition as they wait on God's leading.
Ian & Leann Buckley, (Nepal, DPG Day 3)
Urgent prayer for Nepal flood victims — a pastor has lost his entire town, with 16 believers' homes destroyed and 28 church members deceased. Thank God for the relief effort and generous givers. Please pray for healing for Leann's fractured nose and ongoing head issue from her earlier fall.
Ross & Belinda Cruickshank, (QLD, DPG Day 5)
Praise God for the Keyman team's progress toward their next major release! Please pray for their beta testing phase — that any problems or bugs would be caught and identified now, before launch. Pray for wisdom, diligence, and clear direction for Ross, Belinda, and the whole team.
Christina Eglinton, (SA, DPG Day 7)
Pray for the Kenya school KEMIS registration without bribes, and correct carpentry fixes before inspection. Pray for water provision amid shortages and wisdom on a borehole. Pray for locals who are struggling with health issues.
Herman & Belinda Lamprecht, (South Africa, DPG Day 14)
Praise God Herman's dad's surgery went well. Please pray for his recovery, house sale to complete, and family transition to REACH training base. Pray for Herman's wisdom in tech-ministry consulting, Lennard's adjustment in Zambia, and continued clarity on the Lamprechts' long-term calling.
Jonathan & Janet Mitchell, (PNG, DPG Day 17)
Praise God — Jon got the solar power back up and running! Please continue praying for rain. Tanks and the river need water badly, and dry conditions have sparked wildfires nearby. Also pray for their October furlough travel — a 2-hour hike and bamboo raft trip downriver — that water levels rise enough to shorten the journey safely.
Brett & Kate Ryan, (Romania, DPG Day 22)
Praise God for Brett & Kate's fruitful ministry connections in Cluj, Bucharest and Budapest, doors opening with new business contacts. Pray for their time in Australia to meeting their new grandchild Molly Jane. Pray for clear guidance as they discern God's next steps in Europe.
Corey & Amber Tobias, (Vic, DPG Day 26)
Praise God for Kevin's safe release from captivity and for Corey & Amber's new home purchase! Pray for Kevin's recovery and reconnection with family. Pray for their PNG trip with Wycliffe.. Pray for opportunities to share the Gospel in their new neighbourhood.
Mitchell & Chloe Williams, (Spain, DPG Day 28)
Praise God for the safe arrival of baby Carlota (Lottie) Isabel Williams, born September 9th at 5lb 9oz — and for Chloe's heart holding steady through delivery with no complications! Thank Him for a smooth NICU stay and the family now home together. Pray for rest and recovery as everyone adjusts to newborn life while battling mild colds brought home from school.
