Matthew 9:38 Prayer Rhythm
We’re reminded of the challenge from the CCCAust Conference to set an alarm for 9:38 each day and pray Matthew 9:38 — asking the Lord to send workers into His harvest field. We encourage you to join this simple rhythm. Take a moment each day to pray, trusting God to move through His people.
Scott & Ruth Brown, (Vic, DPG Day 2)
Pray for Scott’s mum as she recovers from surgery after her fall, asking God to strengthen her and provide the support she needs. Lift up Hope and Alicia, pray for full healing and restoration. Pray for wisdom and stamina for the whole family as they make decisions and navigate a demanding season. Ask God to protect them and guide their ministry transition.
Bill & Sandra Callister, (NSW, DPG Day 3)
Pray with thanks for encouraging testimonies from the Misima and Saisai readers and ask God to help Bill and Sandra as they process and adjust the audio files for the upcoming Bible apps. Pray for Bill’s recovery after cataract surgery and upcoming cancer excisions, and for strength and protection through a demanding season. Give thanks that they remain safely held in God’s faithful care.
Christina Eglinton, (SA, DPG Day 7)
Pray with thanks for the successful VBS and for many children hearing God’s Word. Ask God to bless the upcoming evangelistic outreach, protect staff and girls after recent police intimidation, and expose any corruption. Pray for Mike and Monte at university, for Barnet’s twins’ healing, and for Everlyne’s recovery. Pray for the school’s smooth registration with the government, honest inspectors, and continued provision—including rain and needed resources.
Jason & Kim Job, (QLD, DPG Day 12)
Pray for the Job family as they serve with MAF in Mareeba. Give thanks for safe travels, Jason’s progress in his exams, and the engineers’ skill in repairing aircraft. Ask God for unity and wisdom for their church leadership, guidance for Sam’s schooling and apprenticeship plans, and provision for their upcoming home assignment, including a car to borrow in Victoria.
Byron & Lyn Johannesen, (Colombia, DPG Day 12)
Pray for Colombia after the 7.4 earthquake, asking God to comfort grieving families and protect those facing structural damage to homes and clinics. Lift up believers in Tulua, Periera and Cali as they repair buildings, care for neighbours, and support the injured. Give thanks that church halls were spared major damage.
John & Remy Tan, (VIC, DPG Day 24)
Pray with thanks for fruitful connections at EMDC, new technologies advancing the gospel, and safe travels for recent mission trips. Ask God to guide John, Remy and Janelle in upcoming changes, budgeting and future direction. Pray comfort for the Bunong team after their translator’s passing.
Tess, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 25)
Pray for Tess and the school as they discern which newly arrived street children to support, and for God to provide new sponsors after recent funding loss. Ask for protection over vulnerable girls targeted online. Give thanks for a season of spiritual harvest in the church and pray for new believers as they grow in faith and stand firm without local Christian support.
Ben & Alice Warren, (France, DPG Day 28)
Pray with thanks for the Warren’s refreshing time in Australia—family visits, encouraging ministry at SMBC, and God’s kindness in giving their children positive experiences. Praise God for providing funds to cover their major financial gap and enabling their timely return to France. Ask God to supply the remaining $500/month, bless the children’s new school year, and open doors for renewed gospel opportunities as they settle back into life and ministry.
