Prayer Team Bulletin
As one of our guiding principles, our reliance on prayer informs how we carry out our mission of church planting. We invite you as friends and supporters of the mission to join us in prayer for these topics:
This Month
Candidate Assessment
World Team's candidate assessment school (RACE) is happening this month! Pray for the prospective missionaries as they spend this week getting to know World Team and understanding their fit within our ministry. Pray for the World Team assessors as they get to know the candidates and help them determine the next steps in their journey.
Drought in Brazil
Pray for an end to the drought and forest fires that are occurring in Brazil. Our workers are feeling the physical effects of the smoke, though much less than others, and Brazilians in remote regions are suffering even more from lack of water and isolation as the tributaries dry up.
Creative Evangelism in Brazil
Pray for our workers to find inspiration and creative ideas for evangelism in their region. They face many challenges and barriers to sharing the gospel; pray that those barriers will come down and people will see and understand the love of Christ.
Connections in Paraguay
Praise the Lord for new contacts with Paraguayan women and for the opportunities our workers have had to share the gospel with them. Pray that relationships with the teenagers attending the soccer school will strengthen and open doors to share the Gospel.
Returning to Ministry in Peru
Pray for our workers in Peru that recently returned to the field and now must apply for permanent visas. Pray that their readjustment to life and ministry in Peru, as well as the visa application process, will go smoothly.
Thanksgiving
The Thanksgiving holiday can be difficult for our workers who are serving overseas and away from their families, but it also gives an opportunity for our workers to share a bit of life in the United States with their friends and communities. Pray for these gatherings will help our teams deepen relationships and connections with those around them.
Building Relationships in the Middle East
Praise God for the opportunities our workers are finding early on in their ministry in the Middle East. Pray that these opportunities would continue to arise as our workers continue to learn the language and culture, and pray for God to ease diplomatic tensions and bring peace to the region.
Vocational Training in Cambodia
One of our teams in Cambodia has started a vocational training school with currently four students. A team from a church in Ohio helped kick-start the program with a 7-day training intensive last month. Pray for the students as they absorb information and hone their vocational skills.
Esimbi Youth Convention in Cameroon
Two of our workers were unexpectedly able to attend a convention with Esimbi youth recently. They took this opportunity to promote the recently completed Esimbi New Testament, and they were able to sell 25 copies to youth at the conference. Praise the Lord for allowing our workers to attend the conference and pray that the copies of the New Testament that were distributed will have a tremendous impact on lives in the Esimbi community.
International Director Search
World Team's International Director is stepping down from their role in October of 2025, and a search committee has begun seeking candidates to take over the position. Pray for wisdom and discernment for the committee as they receive applications and recommendations for the next International Director.
