(muh-NOWS) - The adult Sunday School class at a local church plant has been meeting outside under the shade of the bamboo for nearly three years. Last month, the church was able to acquire the lot next to the current building. Give thanks to the Lord for providing this additional land! Please join this church plant in praying for the ability to build additional space soon.
(tee-more LESS-tay) - Please pray for work to continue among the Habun people. Pray that God will send a missionary to focus on this group and offer needed discipleship to those who have heard the gospel and want to follow Christ. Pray that the church there will preach the Word boldly, and that believers will have a hunger to study Scripture and live as disciples of Christ.

Praise God for His faithfulness! You were asked to pray for a volunteer team who came to Malaysia to share the gospel, learn more about existing work among students, and encourage brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank God for answered prayers. Please pray especially for several non-believers who heard the gospel as well as testimonies of forgiveness and love.

A young man grew up in a Christian home but did not know Jesus. While studying abroad, he lived a worldly life of rebellion until he met a believer who told him that God was not far off, but near, and that he just needed to open his eyes to the Light. His eyes were opened, and he was saved! Now that young man is back in his home country without a Christian community. Pray that he will be discipled and grow in his faith.
Join in praise to God for the approximately 80 international migrants from more than 10 different countries who received medical treatment and a gospel presentation in the southeast region of Korea. Last May, a medical mission outreach event was held at a partner church, located in a community where many international migrants live and work. Most of the workers are from areas of the world that are unengaged with the gospel, so they heard the gospel for the first time. Many expressed deep gratitude for the compassionate medical care they received, and some were especially touched to hear the story of Jesus and the hope He offers. The dedicated local medical team gave treatments in the areas of ophthalmology, internal medicine, pediatrics, orthopedics, dentistry, and traditional oriental medicine. This medical team is a faithful partner whose ministry continues to open doors for meaningful ministry among the migrant workers. Please pray that the gospel seeds planted during the outreach will grow, and that those who received physical healing and care will also receive spiritual healing by coming to know the lasting hope, peace, and love found in Jesus Christ.

(kah-RAH-chee) - As the largest city in Pakistan, the fifth most populous country in the world, you might expect that a large number of believers would see Karachi for the gospel opportunity that it is. It truly is a melting pot of cultures from across Pakistan, with 20 million souls living in the city proper. However, the need for more faithful believers is great in Karachi. Ask God to send more laborers, both from within and outside Pakistan, to this underserved harvest field that is ready and waiting for new faithful gospel workers (Matthew 9:38).
Thank you for praying for the pastors and youth leaders who spent two days this summer studying and learning about worship. Their understanding was broadened and they were eager to return to their places of ministry. Please continue lifting them up as they apply this knowledge in worship services in their fellowships.
(HAHK-uh) - Pray that God will protect the seeds of the gospel that have been planted in the hearts of Hakka people in Taiwan and throughout Asia (Matthew 13:18-23), that the fruit Jesus causes to grow through His Hakka people will last (John 15:16), and that as Hakka believers face challenges and even persecution, they will find refuge and strength in the Lord (Psalm 46:1).

(DEE-goh) - "In the United States, children head back to school in August to start a new school year; however, on the coast of East Africa, Digo and other coastal children are out of school for a month on their term break. Please pray for the children who come to play 'football' (we call this soccer in the States) at Kisima and are on 'holiday.' May they and their teachers enjoy a break! And pray that this will give our Digo Team an opportunity to spend more time with them, sharing the love and hope we have in Jesus Christ." "Jesus answered him, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God'" (John 3:3 ESV).

The search is on for survivors of a devastating 7.4-magnitude earthquake yesterday morning in Colombia. It struck in a national park bordering the city of Pereira, toppling buildings and knocking out communications. Over 70 people have been confirmed deceased while many more have been injured or are missing. The cities of Quibdo, Cali, and Manizales are also heavily damaged. Please pray for search and rescue teams to find the missing among the rubble and for families as they await news of loved ones. Pray also for overwhelmed medical facilities, some of which are damaged as well. Send Relief is actively coordinating through IMB missionaries and local partners as they come alongside churches in the area, mobilizing them to bring practical help and gospel hope amid this tragedy.
