Gary & Joanne Akehurst, (NSW, DPG Day 1)
More than 6,000 people from around the world are now receiving our daily broadcast on Whatsapp, where we provide a link to a recording of Bible teaching based on a chapter of the Bible. Please pray for India, Kenya and Pakistan in particular, as these are where the majority of request come from.
Samuel & Alissa Sanchez, (Colombia, DPG Day 5)
Samuel continues to work with the youth group, as well as teaching, bible studies, visiting and counselling. I (Alissa) have also resumed Bible Studies and visiting etc. Hannah has recently had some more tests done and has been diagnosed with a rare syndrome, that is causing all her health issues. There is no cure, however her doctor is now working on finding out how to control her symptoms and help her lead a more normal life. She is currently in hospital as she has a urinary tract infection which should be straight forward, however due to her illness she has a severe inflammatory response to any sort of antibiotics and other medicine. So, the paediatrician is trying to find a way to treat the infection without making her even sicker. We would appreciate your prayers at this time.
Andrew & Catherine Walkington, (QLD, DPG Day 17)
This month, the team has been back at the uni campus. The uni students are so receptive if you can ask the right question. Easter and Worldview camp are coming up fast and there is lots to do. Catherine is still impacted by vertigo but is screening leaders and helping to re-write tools and resources. I’ll be teaching a 1 day evangelism course this Saturday on behalf of AMT (see Seni Tafa Day 26). There are more than 80 folks registered, mostly young adults. It’s exciting to see young people get plugged into outreach activities.

John & Karen Short, (Refocused SA)
The weekly Saturday Gospel outreach in Chinatown and the three weekly gatherings in Virginia have produced a wide variety in outcome. Some from the Chinatown outreach continue to give us joy and thanksgiving for GOD’s real, ongoing work in their lives. We have been invited by the Norman Street Christian Church to give the month of April there, as our esteemed brother and sister Damir and Lucie Steber take their annual holiday break in New Zealand. This year we began a weekly 6.00pm Sunday Gospel gathering at Norman Street which has been an enjoyed blessing and encouragement to all.
David & Stacie, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 28)
We have just returned from Mae-Sot. The Crossroad School continues to operate at capacity. The lease on the current site has just two more years to run. Pray we can to hurry the rezoning process of the proposed new and permanent school site along. We have verbal approval but need to have the documentation signed and stamped by the provincial government. Across the border there seems to be little if any change for the better. The conscription issue is causing havoc and fear including for the young teachers and senior students in our schools. Candidates for conscription are reportedly taken off the streets and off public transport. We pray for peace and stability to return.
Georgie, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 29)
Praise God for the opportunity to share You Are Special by Max Lucado with our migrant friends. Pray for Erika as she retires to Germany, and for the Poon family as they move to serve in another part of Taiwan. Pray that the foreign women in detention centres, prisons, and our migrant small group will know they are deeply loved and valued by King Jesus. Also, pray that Jesus will reveal Himself as the way, the truth, and the life during Ramadan. Pray for energy, joy in the Lord, and strong organisational skills as I prepare to return to Australia for Home Assignment.
