Joshua Team meetings

Pray for the Joshua Team meetings April 28-May 2, in the Czech Republic that the church planters and their spouses would be encouraged by this learning community and strengthened. Ask God to multiply churches in this country for the spread of the gospel.

Ministry to Refugees in Belgium

Pray for Duane, ReachGlobal personnel in Belgium, who is devoting two days a week to Gave Veste, a ministry to refugees in Ghent. The local churches desire that all refugees who come to Belgium be introduced to Christ in a language they understand and will be cared for. Ask God to bless this ministry and give Duane a rapport with the refugees so they will be open to the spiritual and physical helped being offered.  

Conference on Missions

Pray for Bill, ReachGlobal personnel in Venezuela, facilitating a workshop entitled Overcoming Obstacles in Missions at the World Missions Academy (WMA) March 11 and 12. This mini-conference will introduce and analyze some of the common major obstacles confronting Latin American churches as they reach out in missions activity. Then, in early April, the WMA will offer a follow-up workshop dealing with concrete things that the churches can do to help avoid or overcome these obstacles.

In your light we see light (Psalm 36:9)

Pray for the 15 Bible school students who are nearing graduation after nearly three years of study. Ann, ReachGlobal personnel in Africa, who teaches them has been encouraged to see how they are growing in their knowledge of God’s Word and will soon be pastoring churches. A meaningful exercise the students participated in was writing Bible-based prayers regarding reaching the lost with the gospel. Please pray that they would continue to grow in their ability to recognize God’s light and bring this light to all parts of Africa.

Missions Pastor Network

Pray that the CONNECT Team will engage effectively with many churches this year. Ask God for 25 churches in 2011 to use the missions strategy workshop (resource tool to become more intentional in developing an outreach/missions ministry) with our facilitators. Pray for Craig, ReachGlobal Mission Network Director, who is leading the EFCA Missions Pastors Network event January 10-12, in Charlotte, NC, and is also facilitating two missions strategy workshops this month.
