Ian & Leann Buckley, (Nepal, DPG Day 3)
We thank the Lord that Leann' shoulder is 75% better and trusting Him for a complete recovery. Just over two weeks & we leave Nepal for Oz. Please pray that we can see the Beauty Salon open before we go and the Bakery fully operational. .PTL for our two young men who have gone on a 6 day teaching and evangelism trip to Jumla. Pray for soft hearts and for much fruit. We thank the Lord for the funds coming in to purchase a buffalo for the blind man & his wife. Pray we can get a good one up in the village.
Lorraine & Stephen Cavill, (Australia: R&R, DPG Day 4)
We continue to have home group in our home each week and Lorraine has a KYB group and a weekly Bible study with another lady. One of the things that saddens us, is interacting with a couple of Christian folk, who are choosing to make life choices that are not consistent with what Jesus teaches. We continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will challenge their thinking. The present fuel situation is impacting everyone and that will also impact the flying program. We continue to trust God to sort it out.
Jared & Megan Emery, (Albania, DPG Day 7)
Praise for a good time in SA over the past 2 months. Thank you to all who have invited us to speak. Last week Jared flew to Emerald in Qld and also had the privilege of speaking at Peninsula Palms village in Brisbane. He had a great time of fellowship and sharing in both places and is thankful for safety as he travelled. Please pray as we fly out to Albania tomorrow Wed 8th, to start our first missionary term in Tirana. Please pray for safety on the trip and that Ben (5) and Thea (2 ½ ) will do well over the 24hrs of travel
Karl & Elaine Mosby, (QLD, DPG Day 18)
We continue to review both the Portuguese and Farsi translations and welcome your ongoing support as we seek to see these projects made available around the world. The process of working through each sentence and considering nuances, meaning etc. can be demanding and time-consuming.
Gavin & Janet Petersen, (QLD, DPG Day 20)
Pray for Gavin and Janet as they visit friends and churches in SA and attend the National AMT Conference in Melbourne April 10-12. Pray as they share with churches and fellowship with AMT missionaries. For safety in travel and stamina, especially for Gavin as he copes with his Parkinsons.
John & Karen Short, (SA, DPG Day 23)
Saturdays we continue with our pull-ups and Gospel Witness in Chinatown and the City Central Market. The cultural diversities are many. The need of the Gospel message of grace and truth remains however completely the same. Thankfully we have been granted good health and the means to continue in the service we so enjoy. Please pray for our contacts we make and the many needs right here in Adelaide.
Jason Stuart, (PNG, DPG Day 24)
I am a little more than halfway thru a 2 month stint away from my homebase of Wewak and have had more helicopter rides than I have experienced in a long time. So far I have done translation checks for 2 people groups and this week I am in consultant meetings. In the next few weeks, I will do translation checks for 3 more people groups before returning to Wewak. In late August I will accompany Ella to the US as she will be attending Ethnos360 Bible Institute with Jed. I will be just 10 days in the US before returning to PNG.
Matt & Debi Zook, (Mozambique, DPG Day 29)
Thanks to everyone who prayed for the consultant checking of the book of Psalms which went very well. The literacy classes have also been going well; we normally have over 50 students in 3 classes in the mornings and over a hundred in 4 classes in the afternoons. We are also very pleased with how the teachers have been doing. One of the couples in our church has a newborn son that is not feeding well. Please pray for his life and God's mercy and glory.
Urban Mission Camp (UMC), Melbourne
Be praying for Urban Mission Camp happening this week (April 6-11). Pray for the many young people attending, that God would stir hearts to step into mission in Melbourne and beyond. Ask the Lord for a transformative week and give thanks for those who have travelled to speak and present workshops throughout the week.
Made For This – Federation Square, Melbourne
Pray for the upcoming Made For This outreach at Federation Square (April 9th), as youth groups and young adults gather from across Melbourne. Ask that the invitation would inspire many to participate, and that Christ would be clearly lifted up and honoured through the artists and their testimonies. Pray for openness among those who attend, and for God to work powerfully through every conversation and encounter.
