Our People

Our World
India – Heavy rains are reported in Kolkata and surrounding coastal regions in Northeast India and is causing internet disruptions and many problems because of the resulting floods and water-logging. Pray for dryer weather so that these problems can ease and the work of our partners can continue. Pray also for the local believers in many different areas to remain firm in their faith amidst reports of trials and other challenges.
East Nepal – In this region, many older widows are often left home alone in remote villages while their children seek employment in the cities. Pray for our partner who ministers to these women. May they find the bread of life (John 6:35) in Christ through these visits.
Indonesia – We thank God for faithful brothers and sisters (graduates of the Missiology School) who are sharing God’s love and truth in their communities in various parts of Indonesia. Pray for firm faith & protection as they do so.
