Many of our Global Missionary Partners (GMPs) serve the Lord in areas of a different religion, which local people are culturally compelled to follow. Some countries are not friendly to believers, and many local believers experience persecution of one kind or another. Pray for our GMPs and their teams as they grapple with the very real situations in their countries of service. Marcus and Eva and their young child serve on a team with other GMPs in Africa. Citizens of the country where they serve are predominantly of another religion, and the country is not very friendly to believers. Eva writes: “Please pray for my Christian language teacher. Her husband has been imprisoned for three weeks and is rumored to face at least a year in prison. Pray that God will strengthen her faith and give her strength and comfort. Also, pray for her to help care for and spend time with her three children. Because of this situation, I need to find a new language teacher; please ask God to provide one.”
