OEC in Belgium

Pray for God’s grace and blessing on the Outreach English Camp (OEC) in Belgium April 2-10. Pray for ReachGlobal personnel leading this camp and for the team of six coming from Hastings, NE, who will be teaching English to 29 Flemish campers, 11 of whom are joining OEC for the first time. Pray for receptive hearts as many of the campers come from a non-church background.

Urgent prayer for team in Turkey

Pray for our team in Turkey. The police have come to their legally-owned business and are saying that they intend to shut it down. This business is what gives our workers legitimacy with the local people, and the building it's in is used for many ministry purposes. In addition, there is a question as to what this may mean for their residency permits. The team is not afraid because they know the Lord is in control. Please pray that His perfect plan would unfold in this delicate situation.

Interpret a Cross-Cultural Identity

Pray for Beth, the daughter of Steve and Joan, ReachGlobal personnel, who will be giving two seminars tomorrow at the Families in Global Transition Conference in Alexandria, VA. Beth will present and discuss how her own paintings and other visual imagery have helped her sort through issues of being a third culture kid (TCK). Pray that God would give her the grace and strength she will need to communicate in a helpful way.

Speaking engagements in the Philippines

Pray for strength and safe travels for Aryls, ReachGlobal personnel in the Philippines. She is scheduled to speak three times in the next 10 days at a graduation and pastors’ wives’ fellowships in Butuan, Panabo, and Davao. Pray that she will be clear in her presentations as she speaks in Cebuano and English. Pray that she will be sensitive to the pastors’ wives and be an encouragement to them.

Surgery today

Pray for Mike, ReachGlobal personnel in Kandern, Germany, who is undergoing sinus surgery today. Pray for skillful hands of the medical team, for protection from infection and complications, for rapid and complete recovery.

Urgent health concern

Pray for the recovery of several of the ReachGlobal LeadTeam participants taken sick with severe cough, fever, and congestion at the meetings in Asia last week. Pray that complications don’t arise, for renewed energy, and for a rapid and complete recovery. 

Expansion of God's Kingdom

Pray for Linda and her colleague Marilyn, ReachGlobal personnel with EFCA EQUIP, attending two conventions, Christians in English Language Teaching (CELT), and Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), in Philadelphia this week. These are opportunities to network and learn from other specialists who write the textbooks or who teach English around the world. Pray for valuable connections and conversations. TESOL offers hundreds of seminars, workshops, and sessions. Ask for God’s guidance in choosing the best ones to facilitate the expansion of God’s Kingdom.
