Prayer Matters is published every Tuesday.
Scott & Ruth Brown, (Vic, DPG Day 2)
Pray for me as I put content together, sharing stories of God at work through our OMF Missionaries and partners in Cambodia. Continue to pray for the new OMF International YouTube @BytesOfAsia channel that launched on August 17. Pray for upcoming National Training Event (NTE) for Christian University Students in Canberra, for good conversations with others interested in Mission, specifically using media. OMF Conference 2026: I’m serving on the planning team - please continue to pray for unity, clear vision, and effective collaboration as we prepare for this major gathering.
Bill & Sandra Callister, (NSW, DPG Day 3)
Give thanks that after 8 weeks in PNG, Bill returned home on Saturday. He had a productive time with four Misima translators, working through notes on Isaiah and Psalms, and beginning a second draft of Deuteronomy. Pray for the Misima team working with village folk starting tomorrow (5 Nov.) reading through Isaiah and answering questions from a recent consultant check. Pray also for the other Misima team, who will be convening a similar session to finalise Psalms. Pray for Bill and Sandra as they regroup and determine priorities. They now have two grandchildren resident with them, so adjustments all round.
Kevin Dyer, (USA, DPG Day 7)
Hurricane Melissa roared across the Caribbean devastating Jamaica, and tearing apart areas of Haiti and Cuba. We are involved providing food medicines and clean up supplies. Thousands upon thousands of families are without homes and in need of everything to survive. The eastern area of Cuba and the western side of Haiti both are in deep trouble. There are many believers in these areas.
Leonie Johannesen, (Fiji, DPG Day 12)
We have started a midweek bible study at the home we have had up to 20 young people come including our kids and the children and grandchildren of some of our staff and some of our former girls. Pray for visitation to some of our kids’ family homes where we meet with their parents, siblings and other relatives. These visits can be very rewarding and helpful to us as we seek to understand each of our kids individually on the same note they can be very confronting. We currently have Bill and Kaz here for a short visit, so Grace and I are heading off tomorrow for a week away. Praise God for his provision for some down time
Chris & Emma Poulsen, (QLD, DPG Day 20)
A "men's Bible group" has started up at Walkervale Church this past week. A long-awaited answer to prayer! 13 blokes turned up, and they are working on the gospel of Mark. Please pray for Chris leading this group, and that new Christians, old Christians, and the not-yet-Christians coming along would all be equally excited to study the Good News together and be encouraged. Please pray for J and B - two young local boys from our street (and church regulars) who have been considering baptism!
Jason Stuart, (PNG, DPG Day 24)
Praise for much being accomplished in my recent trip to PNG. Praise I was able to complete the final check for a team who are now ready to print the entire New Testament. I am back here in Victoria for the month of November and will be working on the Inaru/Behinemo audio Bible project. Pray for diligence and stamina. Praise Jed is doing well in Bible School and Ella has a job at a local café.
Matt & Debi Zook, (Mozambique, DPG Day 29)
Pray for opportunities for outreach through markets and Bible and tract distribution. Please pray for 4 new believers who were baptised this week, for strength and courage for them to stand firm in their faith.
Restricted Access countries
Pray for the persecuted church around the world. Pray for workers in difficult places where the gospel is being actively resisted. Pray for an American missionary who was kidnapped last week in West Africa. Pray for his safety and for his release and for his family as they await news.
