Prayer Matters is published every Tuesday.
Please note: Prayer Matters is now formatted to match the new DPG that was issued at the end of July 2025.
Scott & Ruth Brown, (Specialist, DPG Day 2)
Continue to pray for the new OMF International YouTube @BytesOfAsia channel launched in August. Pray for our upcoming travels over the next two months—for good health and energy for the whole family as we visit Japan, and for fruitful times of learning and connection with colleagues in Singapore and Cambodia. OMF Conference 2026: please continue to pray for unity, clear vision, and effective collaboration as we prepare for this major gathering.
Ian & Leann Buckley, (Nepal, DPG Day 3)
Please pray for Nepal that the new government will be for the people. Pray that the country can resume order and peace and be able to build on good values and economic renewal. Pray for the many people who have lost loved ones in this tragic ordeal. We still plan to go on October the 9th, unless things drastically change for the worse.
Bill & Sandra Callister, (NSW, DPG Day 3)
Bill’s plans have changed due to rough seas in Milne Bay. Unfortunately he will not be able to work with the Saisai translators, and interact with their village communities. Instead he will remain at our SIL PNG centre and three or four Misima translators will brave the seas to join him. Pray for safety and protection for them. Pray for Sandra as she prepares a Misima 2026 calendar (including photos and daily Bible reading passages), works on the Misima dictionary (ongoing), and formats Sunday lectionary readings for use in the liturgical church in the Saisai area.
Ross & Belinda Cruickshank, (QLD, DPG Day 6)
Praise God for bringing together Moro language speakers to design a Keyboard layout. Pray for insight when investigating compatibility issues with some applications and Keyman. Continue to pray as we adjust to the new team structure. Pray for the family with various health issues.
Paul & Leah Davies, (Ireland (enroute), DPG Day 6)
We have received a letter from the Irish embassy in Canberra confirming that they have passed our documents to the Dept. of Justice in Dublin. The wait times for these visas can be 6-12 months. We are praying for a shorter time frame. One of our prayers is that we could be in Ireland before Hazel starts High School. Pray for patience and trust in God as we wait for a result. While we wait, we will continue to seek financial partners to make it possible for us to go. Even if we get Visas, we can't go without being 100% funded.
Christina Eglinton, (SA, DPG Day 7)
Pray that the approval recognising the officers as the sole administrators of Solidarity would come soon. Pray for unity amongst the staff. Pray for the spiritual progress of past residential students as they seek employment, further their studies, and seek godly marriage partners. As Christina continues to battle Parkinson’s Disease, pray for her health to improve, that she may know the peace of Christ when stress levels overwhelm her.
Georgie, (Taiwan, DPG Day 9)
Praise God for the opportunity to "house and host" Allison, a 19-year-old church intern from the USA, for her remaining three months in Taiwan. Please pray: That the people of Taiwan and Indonesia will come to know Jesus, especially during Ghost Month. For Taiwanese churches to partner with us in co-hosting small groups for Indonesian migrant workers. For me as I adjust to attending an Indonesian-language congregation at Taichung International Church. My Indonesian is still at a beginner level, but God's grace is sufficient for me each day.
Elise Long, (Philippines, DPG Day 15)
Please pray against the darkness and domestic abuse in communities. Health, focus and wisdom as I work on adapting the scriptures to the Menti dialect. Preparations for Women’s Health Month. I'm continuing to equip the Menti church leaders. As we study the role of elders and deacons, please pray that the Lord would reveal to the church who else He is raising up for these ministries.
Carol Luttah, (PNG, DPG Day 15)
It’s over 3 months since our Head Office was burnt to the ground. Several things have happened in that time. Firstly, I moved to the Lae Office at the end of August. Secondly, I submitted my resignation. I will finish my time at CBM on 30th January 2026. I do not have any idea what's next, but God knows. Please pray for guidance and for a new GM for CBM. Thirdly, I am taking a short break in Sydney this week. Pray for the safety of all our stores and properties as criminal activities have increased over the last couple of days, especially in Wewak.
Rob & Denise, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 22)
A situation has arrived for our new friend of peace. He has been found out by his family and kicked out of his home. It's dangerous for him to return. Under the advice of a wise worker with many years of experience we have invited him to stay with us until we can find a more permanent solution. Pr** for protection for him and for us. He is now understanding what following JC means.
Tess, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 25)
I have been invited to teach at a course in Vietnam in September-October to train up the next generation leaders and cross-cultural workers. Pr** for me as I am excited but a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of preparation I still need to do. Pr** for the students, that God will use this time to transform their hearts and minds. My team in Georgia will officially become its own branch and will no longer be supervised by the Turkey branch. Pr** for the team to work together in love and unity.
Seng Hock & Luba Yeoh, (Japan, DPG Day 29)
Please pray for strength, motivation, strategy, and perseverance in learning Japanese, and for ways to serve the students at the same time. Pray for an opening in the free or low-cost Japanese language classes. These programs have long waiting lists. Pray for the three young adults who are preparing for baptism. The next term of Chinese Bible Studies start soon. Pray that students’ timetable will have available slots to enable these to restart smoothly.
