A young professional named Wally recently began attending the language exchange program hosted by Sinchon Tree Church and has been enjoying practicing English and making new friends. Just a couple of weeks later, a new Journeyman missionary came to Seoul and began attending the language exchange program as well. After the program, Wally shared with the Journeyman that his whole family is Christian and that he is the only one who is not. He has questions about Christianity, but asking his family members has proven difficult. The Journeyman was able to explain that it is his job to talk about God and that he would be happy to answer any questions that Wally might have. They exchanged contact information with plans to chat more later. Please pray that Wally will have the courage to ask questions, that his heart will be prepared for the answers he receives, and that the Journeyman will have wisdom in answering. Pray that, through spending time with the Journeyman and other church members, Wally will experience the love of Christ and come to a point of committing his life to Him soon.
eastasiaprayer@pobox.comSad news is coming from one of East Asia's melting cities. Children of an ethnic minority are being forcibly separated from their families and living as orphans. Separated from their families, they are kept under full guard and control by the authorities in orphanages and boarding schools for brainwashing and assimilation into the majority people's culture. Please pray for the salvation of these children's souls, their freedom of life, and a hopeful future life.
eastasiaprayer@pobox.comStudents in their senior year of high school are diligently making their final preparations for the college entrance exam. This test sets the course for their future, and this will likely be their only opportunity to take the test. The pressure for the students to do well is incredibly great. Please pray for these students and their families, asking that they will know the omniscient Father who loves them. Please pray that they will know that their worth is not based on a test score but on His love for them as people created in His image. Please pray that they will be told and believe that Jesus loves them so much that He died for them.

This Nehemiah Team will partner with our Send Relief team to teach health care and nutrition out in the villages. Please pray for the team. Our plan is that they will be able to teach basic health practices, focusing on physical and spiritual help. There will also be VBS and home Bible studies for children and youth."
(kuh-MY) - Please pray for Lina, a Cambodian sister in the Lord who is suffering from depression and trauma a second time. She is in her thirties and works as a social worker. Years ago, she recovered from a low period in her life and used that life experience as a way to minister to others. However, something has recently triggered a relapse of depression. Please pray for mature believers and the church family to have wisdom and to be supportive to her deep needs. She needs intercessions, specifically for emotional and spiritual healing. She represents the great need there for professional Christian counseling, a resource that is very limited in Cambodia. Please pray that this will be an area that many Cambodian Christians can be trained in and equipped to help others.
