Please intercede for southern Madagascar. Thank God for the development of leaders through the decentralized Malagasy seminary, a storycrafting project, and other trainings and Bible schools. Pray for two groups in the southwest involved in a three-year seminary program, as well as 60 participants in a Bible storycrafting project. Thank God for Bible translation and Bible storycrafting work among the dialects of the south. Pray for this ongoing work, asking that the peoples of the south will have the opportunity to interact with God’s Word in their own language. Thank God for Bara (pronounced BAR-ah) believers who have heard the truth of God’s Word and built their lives on its firm foundation. Pray that every Bara person will have the opportunity to hear, understand, and respond to the gospel. Thank God for calling pastors to new areas among the Bara that have had little influence from believers in the past. Pray that these pastors will thrive in their new homes and be faithful in their lives and service. Thank God for breaking down demonic strongholds among the Bara. Please pray for believers to be strong in the Lord as they engage in the spiritual battle that is often so evident around them.
