(WAH-soo-loo) - In view of the ongoing and intense conflicts in Mali, which are causing a ripple effect that's impacting the objectives of Wassulu workers this year, the first and most important strategy of these workers -- prayer -- has not changed. Prayers for the Wassulu people, the followers of Christ among them, and the workers are crucial. Please pray for boldness among the indigenous Wassulu workers, tempered with discernment and wisdom in sharing their faith, as they travel for village visits, when fuel and blockades allow; and host gatherings to proclaim the gospel. Pray that those who are intent on wreaking havoc and causing destruction will be impeded by the Lord's hand. Pray that the gospel radio broadcasts among the Wassulu and into other villages will not be hindered or stopped. Pray that the workers, continually adjusting their plans under the Lord's direction, will see His hand clearly in the pain of the circumstances, but with the confidence of knowing that He is sovereign over all things.

(chee-ang MY) - After last month's 2025 Impact Report update for the ELM Pregnancy Ministry in Thailand, the team is sharing future goals and prayer requests, including establishing an ELM presence in the Northeast by beginning with Care Team training alongside a local church, establishing an ELM location in the South by 2030 with prayer walking and meetings with strategic connections beginning in 2026, presenting "Called to Care" at partnering churches to increase partnerships to more than 25, and developing ELM Care Teams in all 76 provinces by 2050. In light of these goals, please pray for God to raise up more Thai staff and volunteers to serve with the teams, including part-time staff for Bangkok and additional Care Team members for Phrae province, continued favor and open doors in schools and communities, mothers and families to respond to the gospel with local churches helping disciple them, wisdom for staff as they lead each ELM ministry branch across Thailand, and strengthened relationships with women, volunteers, churches, and other ministry partners.

(OO-tar pra-DESH) - Pray for a team of local brothers in Christ who are doing people group research throughout West Uttar Pradesh. The goal is for them to survey villages in hopes of locating specific unengaged, unreached people groups. Give thanks to God for these men who are willing to serve in this unique way! Pray that the Lord will protect them as they travel. Also pray that He will guide them to the groups they are looking for, and ask that they will have opportunities to share the Good News with them.
The Shan State Province in Myanmar is home to dozens of people groups who have never heard the gospel. They each speak their own languages and are buried deep in the jungles of the remote mountain regions of eastern Myanmar. Many of these people groups are nonliterate, have no contact with others, and refuse to send their children to school or to visit the doctor. They nominally worship Buddha but are truly enslaved to the spirits all around them. Local missionaries from other indigenous groups are currently being raised up, trained, and sent to these far-flung villages. Those who are hearing the gospel for the first time are hungry for hope. Please pray for the salvation of the peoples of the Shan State province.

The Central Plains of Thailand, outside metro Bangkok, is a region of 14 provinces and almost 9 million people. The area is the heart of Thailand culture, history, and religion. The dominant belief system is Theravada Buddhism, which strongly shapes daily life, community events, and cultural traditions, and is often blended with animist practices such as respect for local spirits and ancestral beliefs. Fewer than 1% of people are Christian. There are only 10 Thai Baptist churches in the Central Plains area, and several provinces don't have a single Thai Baptist church. Most people earn their living through agriculture, along with small businesses, local trade, and factory work in nearby industrial zones. The Thai language is widely spoken and understood, and Christian materials, including Bibles and media, are available in Thai. Please pray for the salvation of the people of the Central Plains.

Among the Himalayan peoples, those with disabilities are often viewed as less than. This is usually attributed to a worldview steeped in karma, as many believe a person sinned in a past life and therefore was born with special needs. However, with the influence of Western culture, this worldview is slowly changing. Two local Buddhist women who work with those with special needs in their community have invited a group of Christians from the United States to help train local families to better care for their children with disabilities. Pray for the U.S. group as they enter local homes. Pray that as they show the love of Christ by helping the least of these, they are bold in sharing the gospel. Ask that some of these families come to faith as a result and that lives are transformed.

(SIN-dees) - The Sindh province of Pakistan is a desert area full of villages situated along hard-to-reach roads. The language most commonly spoken in that remote area is Sindhi, yet the national language of Pakistan is Urdu. This month, temperatures will begin to reach 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit in some areas of the Sindh, with the rest consistently hovering between 100-110 degrees. The rugged terrain and language barriers make access to the lost of the Sindh incredibly difficult. Please pray for believers to be creative as they seek to access these people.
Missionary explorers write, "Over the past several weeks, our days have been shaped by steady rhythms of language study, ministry, and life within our community. Each weekday is filled with hours of learning and practicing the language. While progress at times feels slow, we are encouraged by the growth we see and the ways the Lord is strengthening our ability to communicate. At the same time, God has opened meaningful opportunities for evangelism and discipleship. People are asking for Bibles, committing to read Scripture with us, and even inviting others to come and hear the gospel. Church life continues to be a great source of joy. We are thankful not only for increased attendance but also for clear growth in spiritual maturity. Believers are becoming more engaged in evangelism and intentional about discipling others. As we look ahead to upcoming travel and exploration among the 'Crimson' people, we are trusting the Lord for unity, endurance, and clarity, knowing the work ultimately belongs to Him. Please pray that God provides a faithful national partner, that the Crimson people receive the gospel with repentance, and that we are strengthened with joyful endurance (Col. 1:5–6, 11)."

(van-COO-ver) - In June and July, the FIFA World Cup will take place in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Churches and missions organizations in Vancouver are spending countless hours preparing for the seven matches of this international soccer tournament that will take place in Vancouver, as well as the many games that will be televised. Pray for the many people who are making preparations. In particular, pray for the churches that will be hosting watch parties. These watch parties will provide an opportunity for many people to invite their friends and neighbors into an environment where they can enjoy watching a game and having fellowship with others, while also hearing a clear message of the gospel. Pray that even now, the Lord will be softening hearts and preparing many people to hear and receive the message of God's love for us.

(li-LONG-way) - Please pray for two college-age young women as they come alongside new missionaries who arrived in February. They will partner with Malawian believers this summer to engage the next generation -- meeting students on university campuses, mapping gathering places, and identifying opportunities for gospel witness. Pray for wisdom, boldness, and protection as they explore the city, prayerwalk, and share Christ. Ask God to open doors for meaningful conversations and discipleship among Malawian students. Lift up the volunteer teams that they will help to host, asking that their ministry will be fruitful and encouraging. Most importantly, pray that Malawian believers will be strengthened to carry this work forward, faithfully reaching the next generation long after these young women return home. "We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done" (Psalm 78:4 ESV).

(LIH-bee-un) - Daily life for Libyan Arabs can be uncertain and often feels very bleak. Many seek opportunities in other countries to make a better life for themselves and their families. Often, when they are unable to find a job in another country, get a visa to visit, or just don't have the money needed to be able to leave, they resort to other ways of entering those countries. These "other ways" are often dangerous and lead to many dying along the way. Please pray for Libyan Arabs to come to know and have hope in Jesus. Also pray for those who do make it to a new country to find Jesus while they are there and then share Him with their families back home.
(LEE-muh) - Pray for journeymen Sarah Stein and her believing friend Carmen as they share Bible stories with Carmen's family. Ask the Lord to soften her family members' hearts, open their eyes, and draw them to Himself.

Pray for a group of summer volunteers, the majority of whom are collegians, who will serve during June and July in a metropolitan area in Southeast Asia. While mapping the Deaf locations in that global city, pray that these students will engage local Deaf in gospel conversations. Their time during these two months will lay the groundwork for beginning to reach the Deaf in that country that is closed to a traditional gospel witness.
Pray for Brother Andrew as he meets with and disciples four young men who are excited about the Bible, know about God, and believe in Him. As Brother Andrew leads them to study the Word and helps these young men learn about a healthy belief and understanding of Jesus, pray that the Holy Spirit will move them beyond a "born-into" belief that some young people in Bangladesh seem to have just because they come from Christian families and have been to church from a young age. Pray that their enthusiasm to study the Bible will not wane, but instead increase by leaps and bounds as they get into the Word more for themselves! Pray for these young men to be obedient to what the Bible teaches, and ask that they will bring others alongside them during this discipleship process.
(uh-JEE-an) - George had to transition to working from home due to there not being enough office spaces at his job. At first, this change of scenery was welcomed. Now, he finds himself missing interactions with co-workers and often feels lonely. The old George was happy to never talk with anyone at work, but the new George realizes that his faith must be shared with others. Praise God for the work of the Holy Spirit in George's life! Pray for the Lord to provide a return to his office and for George to have many opportunities to share the gospel with his co-workers.
