THERE WILL BE NO PRAYER MATTERS NEXT WEEK AS FIONA WILL BE ON BREAK.
Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas and a blessed New Year.
Abbey, (Restricted Access, DPG Day)
The next few weeks are busy between moving house, Christmas celebrations, team conference & moving house again! Please join me in prayer as I look ahead to the next few weeks, and yes- even to the next few years, but please pray that I can trust my hopes and plans to God and that He would continue to lead with clarity, in his timing.
David & Tina Cannon, (Thailand, DPG Day 3)
Please pray for an ongoing legal saga over land in Chaing Rai. Unfortunately, this situation doesn't bring much honour to the name of Jesus. Please pray for a Christ-honouring outcome. Keep praying for the little group of believers who make up the Fullness of Joy Church. They are doing an outreach on Christmas Day. We are thrilled that our village head is personally inviting 50 people who are genuinely interested in God and the Gospel. Please pray for all those witnessing to the Gospel, that they may be granted wisdom and words from above.
Ken & Daphne Harding, (NSW, DPG Day 10)
Pray for Daphne, who is in hospital with blood clots in her heart. The Specialist has just been and hopes to let her home for Christmas but needs to confirm that the clots are dissolved in her heart first.
Carol Luttah, (PNG, DPG Day 15)
Thanksgiving for the recruitment of our Corporate Services Manager, Cheery, from the Philippines. She has been with us for three weeks and is training and learning her role. Please pray for her to adjust to the team and serve diligently. Praise also for the approval of visas and work permits for an Assistant GM who will hold the fort when I leave at the end of January. We have made some headway on title replacements and other matters that arose from the fire. Pray for my trip to New Zealand to visit supporters and missionary friends sent from Nairobi Chapel and currently serving in NZ. I hope to be back in Lae on 9th Jan for our managers' meeting, handover and farewell.
Allan & Shelley Moss, (QLD, DPG Day 18)
This year we’ve enjoyed a fair bit of travel associated with ministry. Allan tries to only be preaching away from Faith Community Church one Sunday a month apart from our visit to Elliott in the NT and his teaching at GLO Bible College in Sydney. Please pray we can keep a balance of church and extended ministry. The church has had another year of significant growth which has been a real thrill. Please continue to pray for the ministry here as well as the remote and regional areas.
Matt & Debi Zook, (Mozambique, DPG Day 29)
We received word today (Dec 18th) that Debi's mother passed away. While we are sorrowful for our loss, we rejoice that she is with her Savior and ours, the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord willing Debi will be going to spend some time with her family after Christmas
Seni Tafa, (AMT Next Gen, DPG Day 30)
Coming up in 2026 - Please pray for the Urban Mission Camp and “Made For This” concert event in Melbourne City Centre! This event will showcase the gifts and testimonies of Christian musicians and boldly proclaim Jesus Christ to all who attend. Please pray for wisdom and integrity as we organize this large event, and for favour with venue management. Pray for the artists involved—we’ve secured two major performers and are trusting God for the right band to join us. Pray that our communication inspires the wider church and that many will register, I am super encouraged by some of our registration already https://www.amtglobal.com.au/urban-mission-camp-2026/. This is for young people aged 18-35 on April 6-11. Pray for many to attend and be challenged.
Bondi Beach Shooting
Let us continue to pray for and reach out to those affected by the tragic events at Bondi Beach. For the many victims, their families, the first responders and so many by standers that jumped in to help. Pray for the community and the government, that especially at this time God will be recognised as the only one to bring Peace on Earth.
