Benjamin & Lara, (NSW, DPG Day 20)
Praise God for the restart of the English & Citizenship ladies’ group, with new and returning Afghan friends. Pray for open hearts, deepening friendships, and opportunities to share Jesus. Lift up the young Afghan church gathering, asking for commitment, unity, and spiritual growth within the core group as they meet each Sunday evening. Pray for God’s continued leading in these relationships.
Farid & Parila Qurbanpur, (QLD, DPG Day 21)
Pray for Farid and Parila as they share Jesus with many Afghans and others God brings across their path. Ask God to open hearts—especially those now reading Scripture or seeking further conversations. Pray for fruit from the Beauty Salon ministry and craft group, for family members in Iran, for wisdom regarding Parila’s surgery, and for peace and strength as they serve faithfully.
Wendy Scarborough, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 22)
Pray for Jordan from Kusuri village, recovering after months of untreated fractures that led to severe wounds, TB, and pneumonia. Give thanks for the dignity restored through care at Restore Hope Indonesia and for his decision to follow Jesus. Ask God to guide his upcoming surgeries in Manado and strengthen his new faith. Pray for the team as they continue serving broken lives with hope.
Paul & Erin Strahan, (Australia: R&R, DPG Day 24)
Pray for the Walgett and Collarenebri outreach, that happened over the holidays, as the team faced spiritual oppression and ministered amid deep community grief after multiple recent deaths. Give thanks for Jack’s joyful baptism and for gospel unity over two weeks of ministry. Ask God to strengthen all who heard the message. Pray that God would raise up more workers for these remote communities and guide the team as they settle into Term 2.
Mitchell & Chloe Williams, (Spain, DPG Day 28)
Pray for good health for the family after a furlough marked by illness, hospitalisations, and travel disruptions. Give thanks for God’s provision and their safe return to Spain. Ask for wisdom about the potential house for future ministry, help with language learning, and guidance as Chloe completes her licence. Pray for strength as they settle back into life and ministry in Santiago.
Ross Brown
It is with sadness that we report that Ross Brown passed away last Saturday, April 25th, from heart complications after a long battle with cancer. Ross and Tricia served in Zambia with GLO for many years training church leaders at the GLO training base. On returning, they attended Kings Park Community Church where Ross served as an elder. They also served on the AMT NSW State team for over 2 decades. Please uphold Tricia in prayer at this time along with their children, Jessie and William and their families.
