Anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami

Pray for ReachGlobal personnel in Japan who are reaching out to the survivors on the one-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami. Pray for the disaster anniversary event March 11, as the Billy Graham Association holds a memorial service on site for the many who are still recovering. Many survivors will be grieving afresh and need God’s comfort, hope and salvation.

EFCA EQUIP courses

Pray for Linda, ReachGlobal personnel on the EFCA EQUIP team, who is assisting with facilitation of a course on training others to facilitate and equipping them for ministry. She is also working with two colleagues to develop another course to help missionaries be more effective in ministry. Ask God to give her insight as she is assists individuals and churches preparing for summer short-term ministries, helping them plan for materials, English curriculum, and training.

School ministry in Rio

Pray for God’s blessing on the school ministry Jeff and Diane, ReachGlobal personnel in Brazil, have in Rio. God is using them to reach out to the children attending schools in the poor areas of this city. In one such community, only a few blocks from their house, is a school where they haven’t had any “open doors” until now. The school has a new director, who by God’s grace, is the director from a school Jeff and Diane served at before. Pray that this connection will give them access into this school so they can minister to the students.

Hungary Summit in Budapest

Potential church plant in Lyon

Pray for Mike and Caryn, ReachGlobal personnel in France, that they will continue to have good contacts with neighbors and families from their children’s schools. Pray for Caryn who is discipling a woman and seeing her grow in her faith. Pray that that these contacts and others like them would lead to discipleship and the formation of a core group to start a home group.

Pastors Wives Fellowship in Philippines

Pray for wisdom and guidance for Arlys, ReachGlobal personnel in the Philippines, as she speaks to the Crossroads EFC women's fellowship on Saturday morning, March 3, and then at the Pastors Wives Fellowship in the afternoon. Pray that God’s Spirit will communicate to the women to encourage them and help them develop more of a love relationship with God. Pray that Arlys will be able to have personal visits with several of the pastors’ wives during her time in Manila.

Mentoring students

Pray that the Lord would use Gary, ReachGlobal personnel in Lisbon, to impart a love for the Word of God to the students he teaches at the Portuguese Bible Institute. Pray also for wisdom and discernment as he mentors two students that God break down the negative strongholds in their lives.
