(SEE-new) - The North Coast Colombia Team writes: "Please pray for Clara, a student volunteer who will join our team for three months and serve with the Zenu church we work with along with our work among the Embera (pronounced (em-beh-RAH) people. Pray that she will adjust well and that God will use her in a mighty way."

"A South Asian brother is out in the field in the western plains, following leads and digging around areas where an unengaged, unreached people group is known to reside in order to find them," workers write. "His efforts are revealing work that the Lord is already doing among this people group as well as providing opportunities to share the gospel with them and spark an interest among other believers to find them and disciple them. Another South Asian brother, who was already out in the same area, is doing some work among this people group, as well. Pray that the Lord will guide and coordinate our efforts to reach this people group and begin discipling them before the end of this year! Also pray that we will find and engage other people groups in these areas that are in need of the Good News and discipleship. Ask Him to raise up leaders among these people groups who can faithfully share, disciple, lead, and grow others into His likeness so that we can finish the task."
(sor-AH-nee) - A local believer has expressed a desire and call to be an elder. Please pray for him as he begins the process of being trained and equipped in what it means to serve the Church in this way. Ask God to make His will for this brother's life clear.

(pun-JAH-bees) - Please pray for believers who will be spending the summer sharing the gospel with those around them. Ask that through their efforts, many Punjabis will hear the truth of the gospel, and pray that those who hear will have soft hearts to what is being shared. Ask that people will turn away from their traditional religion that gives its followers no hope of salvation and turn, instead, toward the gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ!
(mah-LOO-koo) - Praise God that your faithful prayers for Matt and Ruth are bearing fruit as people have come to faith, some have followed in baptism, and discipleship continues despite opposition to gospel advance. Recently, Matt was called into a local government office to answer questions about Christian worship music being heard from his house. He explained that Christians sing to God as worship and that this is part of his religious belief, and officials asked him to turn down the volume. They also questioned why he was telling biblical stories about Old Testament prophets. Matt responded that sharing these true stories was better than gossiping about local matters. He then bravely shared his testimony and how Jesus loves him and saved him. Officials told him not to speak of these things anymore, but Matt, like Peter in Acts 4, knows that he must continue telling what he has seen and knows about Jesus. Pray that God will continue to strengthen Matt and Ruth for the work He has given them.

Located in northern Africa, Algeria is the largest country on the continent of Africa. The Sahara desert makes up more than four-fifths of that nation's land, which is why most Algerians live along the Mediterranean Sea on the northern coast. Many Algerians emigrate across the sea to European countries, seeking a new life with new opportunities. Spain is one of many costal landing spots for Algerians. There are about 66,500 Algerian Arabs in Spain. A majority of these are Muslim and follow the teachings of the Quran. They seek a new life in a new country, but they desperately need a new life born of the Spirit through Jesus. As Algerian Arabs in Spain consider God and spiritual matters, pray that they will "set [their] minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth" (Colossians 3:2 ESV). Pray that they will receive the Word of God and commit their ways to Him. Ask that they will come to know Jesus, put their trust in Him, and join in praising Him among the nations. Pray for bold believers, both Algerian and other nationalities, to engage these Algerian Arabs in Spain and proclaim the Son, leading many to redemption.
During the Easter season, many churches and fellowships had special observances and celebrations. Pray that as a result, there will continue to be many conversations about the events of Easter. Pray for open doors and open hearts.
(foo-LAH-nee) - "And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness" (Acts 4:29 ESV). Fulani believers must be cautious, brave, and bold. Pray for them as they live out their faith in areas that are hostile toward followers of Jesus. Ask God to guide them to people whom He has prepared to hear words of life. "Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life'" (John 6:68 ESV).

Please ask the Lord to open a way for the spiritual needs of the Deaf in Cuba to be met. Pray for the Deaf to encounter Jesus through dreams and visions, and ask God to raise up loving Christians to serve in Deaf schools.
(BAH-soo-too) - The Basotho Team met in January for a productive and meaningful time of setting goals and making plans for discipleship, centered around the focus of abiding in Christ. They write: "We will be meeting again on June 14-17 to encourage one another, gauge our progress, celebrate victories, and adjust goals. Please pray for unity and for our team to be led by the Holy Spirit as we seek to make disciples who are maturing and intentionally making disciples themselves. 'So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him' (1 John 4:16 ESV)."

Local believers all over the Asia Pacific Rim join with workers to advance the gospel. One local believer shares, "Each week, we step out from our churches, trusting that God can use ordinary believers like us in His work. When we join a cross-cultural team in villages not indigenous to our country, we help navigate cultural challenges, translate, and lead much of the ministry. Some of us serve children by singing simple songs like 'Jesus Loves Me,' sharing stories from the Children's Storybook Bible, and guiding them in prayer. This partnership we have with workers is a gift, and we are grateful to serve together. Please stand with us in prayer and pray regularly for those who serve each week, that we will be encouraged through long hours of ministry and see God clearly at work in our lives as we serve others living in our own dear countries in the Asia-Pacific Rim."

In September 2025, with the help of a U.S. volunteer construction team, we started building a training center on the farm. In January of this year, the first leadership training began, followed by a youth camp. Nearly 200 young people from across the island of Cebu are learning about God and what it means to have a personal relationship with Him through the training center. While the building still needs work, especially the addition of a second floor, God's kingdom is being built—which is far more important. Pray that God would continue to draw the lost to Himself, advance the gospel, grow the Church and send and sustain laborers in and beyond Cebu!
