Summer is coming! College students are out of class, and families go on vacation. All the while, unreached peoples of the Asia-Pacific Rim still seek truth from false gods and remain in darkness. There are many Christian college students who have chosen to go to these unreached peoples and spend their summer sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank God for them! Pray as these college students arrive in the Asia-Pacific Rim this month to spread the light and truth of God's Word to dark places.

Every two to five years, missionaries transition to the United States to begin a stateside assignment. During that time, they speak at churches, work on new training, and rest. Before their stateside assignment, missionaries must find people to whom they can entrust their ministries. This situation is imminent for missionary Ronnie Davis, who teaches fulltime at Cape Town Baptist Seminary. He teaches many courses, and finding someone else to teach those courses is often difficult. This year, the seminary faculty and Ronnie are looking for a teacher who can teach May through October. Ask God to send the right person or people to teach in Ronnie's stead so that he won't have to teach remotely while on stateside assignment. Give thanks to God for the 25 years that Ronnie has taught at the seminary and his diligence in training men and women to take the gospel to the ends of the world! Thank God for the 50 years that the seminary has been open to train South Africans and other people of the world to be ministers and servants of the Lord!

(REE-oh day juh-NAIR-oh) - University students are well into the semester. Please pray for the students as they do assignments, go to class, finish projects, and take tests. Also pray for Christian students to have boldness to share the gospel with others. May they have the courage to speak up when they disagree with things that are taught in the classroom. Pray for new believers to be discipled and to get involved in local churches around the city.

(KAHN-kin) - Some local harvest workers have been meeting with a Velip family that is hosting a church in their home. The Velip are an unengaged, unreached people group, and this family is the first contact with them! The family has been beaten and has had their home destroyed because they left their traditional beliefs. Pray for this Velip family to be encouraged and to remain bold. Pray against the stronghold of religious traditions in the area, and ask for many Velip to come to faith in Jesus alone. Pray for believers to be discipled and for the Lord to produce much fruit in the district.

In October, you were asked to pray for a believing young Arab man who had received an unexpected diagnosis. Months later, Amine continues his battle with cancer. After his first treatments and some surgeries, it was thought that the cancer was gone. Unfortunately, scans showed that it remains, and he must continue with another round of rigid treatments. The chemotherapy is taking a toll on Amine's body. Thankfully, his mother and siblings are in-country and are able to care for him. Please pray for endurance and complete healing. Pray for Amine to cling to the hope and peace he has in Christ. Ask for the doctors and nurses to see the light of Jesus in him and the church as they minister to him. Please also pray for peace and comfort for his mother, siblings, and fiancée.
