Samuel & Alissa Sanchez, (Colombia, DPG Day 4)
Samuel seems busier than ever with Bible Studies almost every night of the week unless there is a meeting and sometimes, he does both. He is working with a group of young men who are looking to be better husbands and fathers, as well as a group for married couples. On Thursdays, I (Alissa) do a discipleship course with a wonderful group of ladies, and then another study with our young women, who are a little too old for youth group and a little too young for the ladies group. Both groups are a real joy and I enjoy working with them. We also support the small group of Christians in Neiva via telephone and internet and occasionally go to visit them. Please pray for these ministries.
Noel & Mary Bachelor, (Australia, DPG Day 9)
Noel is currently overseeing and assisting Brad Harriman in a recording project in Malayalam from Kerala, India. As well as providing good teaching resources in Malayalam, it is intended to be a stepping stone for future recording of a needy unwritten minority language, which will have to be done on location in India.
Trevor & Manoli Allan, (Spain, DPG Day 19)
The pilgrims on the Camino way are coming in droves and enjoying our accommodation. THANKS for your prayers and on-going support for us and for this outreach ministry to the Pilgrims.
Mitchell & Chloe Williams, (Spain, DPG Day 19)
Isla (3 years), has now started at a local school and despite the initial separation anxiety she is doing really well and starting to make new friends while learning another language. We are still trusting God to provide the finances for us to purchase a car, but Mitch needs prayer for obtaining a Spanish driver's licence. There is a very long wait list to take a practical driving test. Please pray that we will be given a date for the driving test. Pray also for Mitch as the driving test is in Spanish and not English.
Carol Luttah, (PNG, DPG Day 21)
Please pray for grace as I host our AGM on Friday and Board meeting on Saturday in Port Moresby. Praise the Lord for His continued presence and peace as I battle discouragement in ministry. Pray for my pastor who is travelling from Nairobi today and to be in Port Moresby on Thursday. I am looking forward to her visit.
Bill & Sandra Callister, (Specialist, DPG Day 23)
In December we asked for prayer for two Misima translators to receive their new passports and Australian visa approvals. This happened in April! PTL! Bill is currently working with Tamoli and Graham on the second draft of Isaiah 40-54, and tackling outstanding questions in the rest of the book, with the aim of finishing it all by 28 May, just before they leave to head back home to Papua New Guinea and Misima.
Naomi, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 30)
My role at work changed (yet again) and I’m now teaching year 3 English Language Arts, which I’m thoroughly enjoying as it’s been a while since I’ve been in an English classroom but has added to my workload as I continue in my administrative position as well. The school year will end in early June. Bethany and I have been praying and seeking for opportunities for a long time to start our own business here. God has provided us with a business partner, and it feels like things are moving forward. Our business will be an education consulting business with a goal of supporting children who have special needs and developmental delays, and their families and teachers. This is a real felt need here that we hope will open doors for real relationships.
Nara, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 30)
My first disciple (CC) abroad recently had an operation and went wrong and left some permanent damage to the part that was meant to be treated, and lost the role at work as a result and required to find an alternative role. On top of what is already a challenging spiritual environment to find fellowship, CC now is planning to return to another city which CC only left not long ago. Ask the Lord to strengthen CC’s faith to and provide a fellowship in midst of hardship. Hope to return to field by mid-year if Lord willing to provide all the finances. I have a deep personal need for my own spiritual encouragement and support.
