Wednesday Window on the
World

Thank you for uniting your hearts in prayer for:

(for the week of June 29)

SEREER OF SENEGAL AND THE GAMBIA (suh-RARE). The answer to your prayers in May for rain came in torrents this morning, with the occasional thunder and lightning. The children of a couple on the Sereer-Sine Team woke up giggling, joining the shrieks of laughter coming from Senegalese children outside. They all jumped and splashed together in puddles, in the first big rain in their community since last October. Sereer farmers have been preparing their fields and will now begin the real work of farming their millet crop for this year. Thank you so much for your prayers. Continue to pray that the rain will be just the right amount to produce an abundant millet crop, feeding Sereer families until the next season.

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (BWAY-noce AHY-rehs). For 23 consecutive days this month, the Buenos Aires Strategy Group will host teams of youth from four different churches in the United States. Two youth teams from Texas will be working in their adopted barrios (neighborhoods) of Villa Ortuzar and Chacarita to continue the church-planting efforts that began last year. Later, an International World Changers team of 66 students will descend on Buenos Aires for a week to complete various projects throughout the city designed to jump-start church-planting work among university students, strategic neighborhoods and a Baptist seminary. Please pray that God will bless the students’ efforts to yield much fruit and bring Him glory!

CHINA. An evidence of God’s grace in the wake of the May earthquake that devastated entire communities was the spontaneous travel of many Chinese Christians to the affected area. Willing to help in whatever way needed, they also arrived aware of the pressing need for the peoples of China to know of Christ’s love. Pray that God will greatly use those who continue to minister in the quake zone.
