Prayer Lifeline

April 25, 2018

Your prayers are making a difference around the world. Thanks for partnering with us in the Great Commission on your knees!

Requests

Africa: Jon Steury is planning a retreat for the first weekend of May that will bring together the top leaders of Africa Gospel Church from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Burundi. The purpose of this gathering is to promote unity and collaboration in ministry among the churches in these four countries. Please pray that it will be a wonderful time of encouragement and fellowship as they work together to transform Africa for Jesus.

American Indian Field: Steve and Debbie Cartwright request prayer for Jon and Lindsay Birkey, Summer Bible Camp directors, as they finalize plans for this year’s camps. Two camps are still in need of work teams to serve as staff. Join WGM AIF in praying for the Lord’s provision for this need.

Uganda: Lift up Lisette Lewis as she ministers in her classroom each day at Heritage International School. May she have a direct impact on the lives of her students, in turn touching their parents, families, and communities with Christ’s love.

Renewal: Remember these missionaries as they participate in Renewal April 25–27 at WGM headquarters: Sherrie Dodson (American Indian Field), April Hershberger (Kenya), and Eli and Krista Horn (Kenya). Pray for wisdom and grace as the Member Health Team speaks into the lives of these missionaries who have recently returned from their fields of service for homeland ministry assignment. May all receive renewal of heart, soul, and mind.

CMS Workshop: The following missionaries on HMA will be at WGM headquarters April 30–May 3 for CMS Workshop: JT and Heather Greer (Texas/Mexico Border Ministries), April Hershberger (Kenya), Eli and Krista Horn (Kenya), and Don and Glenda Moon (sensitive area). Ask the Lord to give them strength and clear minds for the long days of training and fun times of fellowship with fellow kingdom workers.

Harvest Workers: Pray that God will send more workers to WGM with the skills needed to fill the incredible variety of roles in missions. (If you or someone you know is interested in serving with WGM, visit wgm.org/serve.)

The Call Prayer Calendar (April 22–28): Pray for a missionary you know personally. (This request was taken from the latest issue of The Call, WGM’s official magazine.)

Praises

Hungary: Meg Dul shared that God used her church’s annual spring cleaning day to reach the heart of a neighbor who lives in the apartment building attached to the church. The man emailed the church, sharing how impressed he was with the cheerful way everyone worked throughout the day. The congregation prays each week that they will be able to reach out to their neighbors and that the neighbors will be ready to hear the gospel. Praise the Lord for answered prayer, and keep praying that the church will be a light in the neighborhood.

Uganda: Kelly Hallahan recently hosted her monthly women’s Oasis Gathering. The 11 women who attended included one woman fairly new to the group who was really encouraged and was invited to a weekly Bible study with some other single women. This was also an answer to prayer as Kelly has been praying that someone would come and find new friends at Oasis. Continue to pray that these relationships will blossom and bring glory to God.
