Prayer Matters is published every Tuesday.
Jason & Kim Job, (Australia, DPG Day 11)
Jason is busy at work getting a float plane ready to begin flying in PNG next month. He has been asked to go on a maintenance trip to Timor-Leste in two weeks which is exciting. This will be the first trip back since we left in 2020. Please pray for wisdom for Kim as she tutors local school students and encourages their parents.
Ben & Alice Warren, (France, DPG Day 17)
We have decided to join the team in the Seine-et-Marne region to the east of Paris working with another World Team family as well as French families who are creating a network of house churches in the area. Please pray as we finish up language study over the next 6 months, need to find an apartment and buy a car. Please pray for our residence permit too as we plan this move.
Carol Luttah, (PNG, DPG Day 21)
Pray for Courage and renewed strength as we try to renovate, set up a new genset and move forward at the Head office after the February fire. We successfully interviewed a lady for the Finance role as Lynn is leaving CBM. Pray for the processing of her work permit and visa to go well. Pray for contentment in my heart as I trust God with my future. Pray for our AGM and Board meeting in May, for the Board to be led by the Holy Spirit in decisions that concern the future of CBM and its ministry across the country.
Bill & Sandra Callister, (Specialist, DPG Day 23)
Praise that Bill and Sandra submitted visa applications for two more Misima translators to come to stay in Australia in April-May and work on translation with Bill. The next step is for them to go to Pt Moresby for biometric testing but boat and plane bookings, and accommodation still need to be arranged. Praise for their PNG granddaughter, Ailalalana, who is now living with them and attending TAFE this year - she is settling in well and adjusting to a new family and culture. Pray for wisdom and sensitivity as they all live together.
Christina Eglinton, (Specialist, DPG Day 23)
Please pray for the Solidarity senior management meeting planned for this Friday where we will conduct interviews & discuss replacement staff for our cook/matron & missing teacher. Pray for wisdom in choosing the correct staff. Pray for our registration file to be found at the Registry of Societies, as it has gone strangely missing. This is the second time in our 28 years of existence as a charitable society that the file has gone missing. After a recent break in we are seeking to tighten security. Pray for God’s hand of protection upon the whole centre, as crime is so rampant in Nairobi! Pray for my proposed visit to Kenya in June accompanied by friend, Rachel.
Daniel & Emily, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 28)
At the beginning of March, Daniel flew to Malaysia for our organisation’s International Communications Forum. During the forum, Daniel led a workshop on using video for effective storytelling. Please pray that those who participated in the workshop will be able to remember and use what they learned. Please pray that the face to face connections made at the forum will lead to future collaborations.
David & Ros, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 29)
We are exploring the possibility of moving to be with David’s parents in NZ at the end of this year. We would continue to serve on the Turkey HR & Member Care team there until the door opens to return to Turkey. Please pray for us as we continue to seek the Lord’s wisdom for our next steps. Please pray for the visa situation in Turkey to ease so the workers already on the field can remain there, and those called to go can be sent. Pray that Nathan to be restored to full health and get in a good routine soon so that he can put his mind to completing his studies and for Sarah as she adjusts to her new job.
