]]> Nyang’atom of South Sudan: An active discipleship network now extends to the Ethiopian border among the Nyang’atom. Churches are currently being rebuilt, and new ones are being launched. Believers are engaging in house-to-house evangelism and visits. As a result, the number of believers is increasing, and the area is opening up to the Gospel. This region faces a high influence from groups that do not proclaim the Gospel of salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. There is ongoing persecution and oppression of minority Christians. Due to the harsh realities of the land, attention to farming responsibilities can make it difficult for the church to remain functional. Pray that God’s Spirit will dwell in this place and raise up strong pastors and disciples. Pray for love and peace to restrain persecution in the region.

But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness, they do not know what makes them stumble.”

Jiye of South Sudan: Praise the Lord that there is active evangelism taking place in the region, especially through visiting teams. God is opening up new areas for ministry among cattle camps, and old churches are currently being restored. Additionally, an Oral Bible Translation programme will be launching soon for the area.  Pray for the challenges of long distances and poor communication networks that make consistent follow-up difficult. Local communities face severe hunger and thirst, leader training remains inadequate, and a conservative mindset is slowing down the progress of new work. Please pray that kindness and love will prevail among the people. Pray also that the necessary resources for transport, food, and training will be provided to open this entire area for the Gospel.

Camels carry their belongings, provide milk, economic security, and remain an important symbol of Rendille identity. Pray especially for those who continue to follow the nomadic lifestyle.

It was amazing to see how God is at work among them. What a true blessing and encouragement. It was especially exciting to witness their spiritual growth as they shared Scripture, testimonies, and encouragement with some new believers who are just beginning their journey of faith. Please pray as they plan to gather for a large celebration and baptism. Ask the Lord to strengthen these new believers, deepen their faith, and unite them in love and boldness.

The elders are concerned that granting permission could upset the king. Pray that God would grant the believers favor with the village leaders and open the way for this request to be approved.

]]> Somalis of East Africa and Diaspora: Recently, my “person of peace” invited me to her house to offer counseling to “Mary.”  When I met her four years ago, she was full of energy despite her circumstances—having four children and living with a depressed husband who beat her. She shared that the villagers had been hurling insults at her. They would call her a madwoman while she was on her way to the market, to the point that she now believes she is one. She told me that her veil covers the tears and pain, and that it has become her best companion. She told me, “women in my faith are suffering too much and have no voice.” She asked me to pray, and I asked Jesus to heal her husband and children. As we were escorting her to get her transport back to her village, I told her that whenever she feels defeated and fearful, she should call on the Name of Jesus. I don’t know how she took it, but I asked her to give it a try.

This opportunity has come through a local believer whose faith journey began at one of our centres in Europe. During this trip, they will provide sustainable agriculture training to vulnerable communities, helping families develop practical skills that can strengthen livelihoods and food security. Please pray for protection, good health, and safe travel throughout their journey. Ask the Lord to grant wisdom, discernment, and favour in every meeting and activity. Pray that hearts would be open to the gospel and that meaningful, Christ-centred relationships would be built within the community. May the Holy Spirit move powerfully among the S., bringing hope, transformation, and spiritual growth across the Sahel. Pray also that the agricultural training would have a lasting impact, equipping families and communities to flourish both now and in the future.

Also lift up those who have been released according to their sentence—that they would be welcomed back into the arms of the loving family of God. That they would be cared for and continue to share His name with all those around them. May their time in prison not be wasted, but be used for His glory. We heard from the wife of one of our imprisoned brothers that two days ago his mother went to be with the Lord. Please pray for his heart as he learns of this news. The wife is asking that he be released to attend the funeral. That would be a miracle, but let’s pray that happens.

The Lord opened up wonderful opportunities for these four believing ladies to share again the hope they have in Jesus with their five North African friends. And of course, they enjoyed Tajine, Couscous and mint tea! The five ladies have been studying the scriptures now for almost three years—some have even come to church.

Families gather to slaughter sheep and share meals as they reflect on the meaning of sacrifice and devotion to God. For our teams serving among this largely unreached people group, this season provides a natural opportunity to point friends and neighbors to the greater sacrifice God provided through Jesus Christ. As they join local families for meals and conversations, many have opportunity to sharing the good news that Jesus is the Lamb of God who was slain for the sins of the world. Pray that many would recognize Jesus as the true Lamb of God and receive Him as Lord and Savior.

]]> O of Kenya: Please pray for the believers from Muslim backgrounds in northern Kenya who are facing opposition and persecution from their local community. Ask that these trials would not weaken them, but instead strengthen their faith and grow the Church deep and strong. Pray against the ‘flaming arrows’ of fear, and ask that God would protect His people, anchoring them in a deep and abiding love for Jesus. Pray for those serving in frontline ministry, that they would be sustained, encouraged, and upheld through the prayers of others. Ask that God’s light would shine powerfully in this region, drawing many out of darkness and into the saving grace of Christ. And as we pray, let’s ask with expectation—that God would do far more than we can ask or imagine, building His Church and transforming lives even in the midst of opposition.

]]> Makhuwa Nahara of Mozambique: Our oral translation team has recently completed translating The Song of Moses as part of a larger translation project of the book of Exodus. The team is preparing for the much larger task of translating the entire New Testament orally. Two Gospels have been completed. Work of this kingdom significance rarely goes uncontested, and this season was no exception. The team pressed through a regional fuel shortage, a serious illness among one of their young children, and personal burdens carried by their leader for his son’s difficulties at college. Yet the Lord sustained them through it all. Fuel was provided, the child recovered, the son is working hard, and the translation was completed — described by the team as one of the richest and most meaningful passages they have worked on. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness! Pray for continued protection, endurance and spiritual insights for the Translators. Pray that the translated Word will be faithful and clear — carrying the full weight of its meaning. Pray that those who have never encountered the Word of God might hear it spoken in their own tongue, receive it with gladness, and be saved.

Some families remain unable to travel because key roads are considered too dangerous. Others are sheltering multiple displaced relatives in already crowded homes.

Despite fear, they chose to continue praying together for peace and protection over their communities. Pray for supernatural protection over those unable to evacuate safely. Pray for open paths of escape where needed and wisdom about when to move or stay.
