Wednesday Window on the
World
Thank you for uniting your hearts in prayer for:(for the week of June 29)
BAMBARA OF MALI (BAHM-bah-rah). “In September 2008, you prayed for our journeyman, Mitch, who was arriving in Bamako for a two-year commitment to service with the Bambara Team. You specifically asked that he would ‘learn many useful things.’ Join us in giving thanks that Mitch has quickly gained skill in the Bambara language and has learned to tell Bible stories in Bambara. He enjoys the culture here and has many Bambara friends in the city and in the bush. He is developing leadership skills as he heads up the Farming God’s Way project. He has never done this type of farming work before, but he is learning through self-study and is doing fine! He has been able to recruit two young men to work as volunteers with him in the farming project. He is also growing in his ability to disciple leaders in the villages. We are thankful that a few health problems have been short-circuited. Mitch has much prayer support from home and had a great visit with his mother back in March. God is using Mitch among the Bambara! We rejoice at the great work that God is doing through Mitch and other journeymen, both male and female!” http://www.gobambara.org/
NORTHERN CHILENOS OF CHILE (chee-LAY-noh). Missionary Jerry Coy asks you to pray for three mission projects that will be developed in July and the coming months. A church in Texas will send 30 young people to work in four different Andean communities selected as strategic for church planting. They will carry out some light construction, participate in sports clinics, and sponsor some Vacation Bible School activities. In addition, that same number of youth are coming from different states to spend a month travelling the northern regions of Chile, conducting drama and evangelistic outreach ministries. In these same remote areas, five university students from five different states will spend four months with follow-up activities in these areas, and they will actually live in these communities and work in their school and community centers. Pray for protection, for effective ministry, and for new churches to be planted. http://www.arvteam.com/
UIGHURS OF POST-SOVIET CENTRAL ASIA (WEE-ghurs). “To be able to work with the Uighurs, we have to travel out to the Uighur villages. However, this area is watched very closely and there are those who delegate who can go in or out. For some time now, we have been making trips out there for hearing aid clinics and coat distribution. Last fall, though, we were asked to leave even before we were able to give out the coats. Since then, it has been a challenge to try to figure out who it is that will give us permission to return to this area. Back and forth, we have made little progress in having an opportunity to be a presence, a source of help to those who have never heard. Please pray that we will be granted permission to work in these Uighur villages as quickly as possible so that we will have opportunities to share the Good News.”
