Trevor & Manoli Allan, (Spain, DPG Day)
During the winter months with few Pilgrims coming, we will be doing a lot of maintenance and repairs to have the Albergue ready for the next season. In the two years that we have been open, we have had more than 7.000 pilgrims come and stay overnight, that’s a lot of wear and tear. The New Building Project is our goal for this year. We hope to start soon with the architect and permits and to be able to get up the shower and toilet block. We need more room for # Accommodating more Pilgrims, # The growing Church of Ribadeo, # The youth Retreats. If you wish to help, AMTaid has set up a Project fund for Tax deductible donations. https://www.amtaid.com.au/albergue-el-olivo--spain/
Elise Long, (Philippines, DPG Day 15)
A slight complication during the removal of the plate from my wrist ...torn artery, so a night in hospital. With rehab and other medical things, it looks like my return to Palawan on Feb 15 may be delayed a week or so.
Carol Luttah, (In Transition, DPG Day 15)
It’s been extra busy and overwhelming time during my last weeks at CBM. We had our managers meeting/training and then had farewell and handover to the acting GM on Friday 23rd. I am now in Sydney to resume studies and trusting God with the way forward. I will still support CBM remotely during the transition. Pray that the team will progress well and God will be glorified through it all. Pray for me as I have been struggling with flashback of the fires that makes sleeping through the night a challenge.
Chris & Emma Poulsen, (QLD, DPG Day 20)
Praise God for a great Christmas Lunch in the park, pray for ongoing connections with new community members that we met. Please pray for the growing Men's Bible Group - for the new men from the Men's Hostel that are coming, and the friends they are bringing. Please pray for Chris, leading them through Mark. It has been a discouraging start to the year in terms of support and help for us - please pray for ongoing obedience, perseverance, and joy in the work - that we would trust God to provide all our needs and keep our eyes on Him. Pray that God would provide workers for the harvest - mature Christians that understand the local culture and have a heart for the Walkervale Crew.
Robyn & Stefanie Tommy, (PNG, DPG Day 26)
Pray for Delma, one of our longest serving teachers, a faithful church member and our Head Teacher. Last Friday, while his family were all at the river washing, their house caught fire. Thankfully no one was hurt but they have lost everything they owned except the wet clothes they were wearing and one bucket they were carrying. Please pray for Delma & Ruth as we work together with the school, church and family to support & encourage them. It's been a shock for everyone. (By the way - We are still chasing our grade 3 approval).
Simeon & Mary Tuyizere, (Ghana, DPG Day 26)
Please pray for sufficient incoming support and grants for 2026 budget and work plan for the family and ministry. Prayers for successful literacy and numeracy centres established in 6 Fulbe communities where we are operating. Pray for our need for a ministry car as transport is difficult when visiting villages where we operate (ie: literacy centres) while we carry ministry equipment.
Seng Hock & Luba Yeoh, (Japan, DPG Day 29)
Continue to pray for Yo, Tang and Cho. Yo passed an interview to be accepted into a support worker course. This secures her next 2-year visa, allowing her to stay in Tokyo and continue attending church. Tang and Cho did not pass the same interview. Tang has another interview. Please pray he will do well. He has been disciplined in reading the Bible and is growing spiritually. Cho has been struggling, less open to the group, and has not been attending church. Please keep her in prayer. Continue to pray for our language study, for perseverance and encouragement.
