Two volunteer teams from a Texas church are working with the Harvester People this month. The teams hope to bolster the confidence of local believers' evangelism skills by having Bible studies that the local believers will lead. Some evenings, several local families will come to eat dinner with the team to share American food and games. No women attend the local worship gatherings, so the team will engage women by having the local women teach the team how to prepare a national meal so that they may engage the women in conversation and, it is hoped, have gospel conversations. Please pray for these volunteer teams to glorify God and for the local believers to have the confidence to share the good news of Jesus.

(LOH-zee) - This past year, the rainy season in the Western Province of Zambia was far from sufficient. Pray for the Lozi who rely on the rains to grow crops, asking that the Lord will send good rains this year. Pray for the churches as they reach out into the community to help those who are suffering. Ask that Jesus will be made known through the compassionate efforts of the churches.

(kahm-PAH-lah) - "Our desire is to see African churches sending African missionaries to the ends of the earth. It is exciting that local pastors and churches in Uganda are 'catching a vision' for cross-cultural ministry and missions! Recently, our Kampala Urban Team hosted visitors from Kenya who made connections with pastors and associational leaders to discuss missional opportunities. Pray that Kampala churches will both send and receive African missionaries. Pray that God will give clear wisdom regarding the next steps for this to become a reality."

(KAYP town) - Please pray for Michael and Sarah and their family. They are refugees and tailors, and their family have been tailors for generations. The community sees them as wealthy because of their shop, but they misunderstand Michael's family's true circumstances. Michael and Sarah live in poverty, too. In August, two jealous men in the community robbed Michael and his son at gunpoint. They shot at him and his son three times but only grazed the son's neck, and the robbers took their money. Since that incident, Michael has been paralyzed by fear, unable to bring himself to go to work, which is the sole means of income for their family. Now they are desperately poor and afraid. Please beseech the Father to intercede for Michael and Sarah and to provide for their family's needs. Ask God to protect them and give them peace of mind, heart, and spirit. Give thanks to God that the robbers' bullets did not hurt Michael and his son that night.

(BAH-soo-too) - Missionaries Jake and Ginger Goss, who serve in Maseru, Lesotho, ask for prayer for a volunteer team from Georgia that will be coming to engage a new area near the village of Mohale. They write: "Pray for openness from the villagers, wisdom for us and the volunteer team in knowing how best to teach, and all the logistics to be taken care of. Pray that the message comes 'not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power' (1 Corinthians 2:4 CSB)."
