Matt & Debi Zook, (Mozambique, DPG Day 1)
Over last 2 months in Mozambique we had a good leaders seminar based on the qualifications for elders, thanks for the prayers. There was plenty of good discussions. We made good progress in the translation work. Among other things Matt finished a read over of the book of Proverbs with a group of five men that was useful for their lives and also resulted in a number of improvements to the text as usual. We are currently on HA in America. Please pray as we take meetings and the kids find work and plan to get their driver’s licenses.
Herman & Belinda Lamprecht, (South Africa, DPG Day 2)
PRAISE: We had a baby! She was worth the wait! Just about a week overdue, Talitha Elizabeth Lamprecht was born at 1:40am on the 28th of June, after a surprising but blessed 2.5hr labour.
Paul & Debbie Howells, (Philippines, DPG Day 8)
Please pray for the ladies who recently attended the Tumpagon women’s conference. The Lord brought together women from all walks of life from young mothers to older widows, from newly bereaved to newlywed. And together, through His Word and through the comfort and refreshing that He gives in worship and fellowship, many of us went home with renewed strength and equipped with spiritual tools to help us through the next set of trials before us.
Karl & Elaine Mosby, (Qld, DPG Day 13)
In early July, we will meet and collaborate with our Chinese translator to review the Mandarin translation of “The Captive" and begin working on "No Ordinary Book". We will spend the second half of August between Singapore, Hong Kong, and Chiang Mai Thailand. In Singapore and Chiang Mai, we will focus on the current and future Indian projects along with printing and distribution plans. In Hong Kong, we will connect with an organization that distributes our Good Seed materials via a free app in Mainland China. Please pray for accurate translation checking and that the material will reach those who need it most.
Ben & Alice Warren, (France, DPG Day 18)
URGENT: On Tuesday July 1 at 10.40am (French time), Ben has a meeting at the préfecture to discuss his visa, which has expired due missing an important email while Ben was sick. Ben received an email yesterday, Friday June 27, saying that due to a system error on their end, his application would need to be completed on paper and in person, with an appointment for Tuesday July 1! Would you join us in praying that this is a way that God has provided for Ben’s visa to be approved, even though it was submitted late?
Carol Luttah, (PNG, DPG Day 22)
Pray for continued grace and strength to pick up the pieces after the dreadful fire at our Wewak Office. Pray for my heart as I process what happened and the implications associated with it. Pray for finances for CBM to enable us to complete the works on Lae property so we can move in August. Our bookshop sales are slow due to no government spending. Thanksgiving for my treatment in Port Moresby. I am back to Wewak working from a temporary location.
Ian & Leann Buckley, (Specialist, DPG Day 23)
PTL for encouraging progress on Dhulikhel church building; ceiling is now done. We thank the Lord for Cairns ministry trip; great meetings and much interest. We are so grateful that the ensuite in house is now finished while in Cairns and for those who made it possible. Pray we can finish the house before returning to Nepal in October.
Paul & Leah Davies, (Enroute)
Praise God I’ve finally finished my Bachelor of Theology! I (Paul) had my last exam on Monday and I'm 51% sure I passed. • We are now somewhere around 21% of our budget. We are hoping to leave in September, depending on visa approval and funding. Please pray that the Lord opens doors over the next 3 months as we speak at various churches.
Jared & Megan Emery, (Enroute, DPG Day 27)
Pray for recovery from a gastro bug that is going through the family, Ben and Thea were both quite ill over the weekend. Pray for their time next week in South Australia, taking meetings and catching up with family, that they will be well enough to travel. Pray as they are preparing to go to Albania next year, that the Lord will raise up supporters to share in this ministry with them. They are at about 23% of their required budget.
Daniel & Emily, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 28)
After a few days acclimatising in Singapore, we have now met up with Abbey for the next leg of our journey. Over the next 5 days, we will spend time learning, praying, worshipping and connecting together as a team. Please pray with us for good health and that we will grow together as a team. Please pray for our kids to connect with the other kids and for a positive experience, where they can grow closer to God, too.
Paul & Fenny, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 28)
I continue to visit the homes of some of the village residents to help with physio. I've previously shared about one man who was unable to previously use his arm after a stroke and is now able to use that arm to cut up vegetables and help out around the house. He shared that this has taken away his shame and he feels much more confident getting out of the house. It has changed his outlook on life. I said that more than this, I wanted to share Father's love. I encouraged him to look into Jesus. We're praying that future visits may lead to more conversations about Jesus. Please continue to pray for open doors in the villages.
Wesley & Esther Dale, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 29)
Wes & Esther are currently in West Papua distributing bibles in the Lani language. Wes had a medical episode not long after they arrived in Jakarta, resulting in surgery. Please be praying for them as he recovers and they travel and spend time in the village.
Georgie, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 29)
Please pray for energy and encouragement throughout the remainder of my home assignment. That I would be salt and light to my siblings as we spend time together before I return to Taiwan. For one of our Muslim South-East Asian friends, Jade (a pseudonym), who participates in one of our small groups for migrants, to come to know Jesus as the only way, the truth and the life. For further partnerships with Taiwanese churches interested in starting ministries to migrants.
Tess, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 29)
We had a great time hearing from Tess at Prayer United last Saturday. Continue to pray for her while on HA until August. Pray for Brian teaching the English classes while she is away, that it will build community and the 5 students who have started coming to church, will hear and respond to the truth. Pray for those workers from across the border who have received full entry bans (visas cancelled suddenly) as they grieve the loss of friends and ministry and often have left property, unable to return to collect anything.
Luke & Dania, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 30)
We have been here for almost 3 years now and have been praying for opportunities to serve the community here directly, so were super excited when the opportunity came up to serve marginalised communities. We have been preparing and delivering regular meals and material assistance to the large homeless community around the capital’s main train station connecting with people experiencing homelessness and finding opportunities to share our hope with people. Luke has also been able to visit and connect with some orphanages and is connecting long-term to engage in curriculum development for these sweet kids growing up without their birth families. Please pray for all these people that we encounter.
C & A, (Restricted Access, DPG Day 30)
Praise God for his continued guidance and grace as we have served in West Africa for the past 6.5 years. Pray for us as we relocate to Australia, that we settle in quickly, grieve and debrief well, regroup as a family, and prepare to share our stories in the coming months. Pray for peace in the region, for safety for those who love God, pray for boldness to share one’s faith in the face of persecution.
