Life for church pastors in Malawi is very challenging. The aftermath of Cyclone Freddy and the war in Ukraine has made everything so costly. Then in November the Central Bank devalued Malawi’s currency by 44%. Imagine if you had £100 in the bank today and tomorrow it is only worth £66. This squeeze affects pastors and their families badly, because their church members also feel the pinch and are less able to support their pastors. Give thanks for their faithfulness and pray that the Lord would sustain them and help them to persevere in ministry.

Christianity Today wrote an article on Mongolian evangelicalism, quoting Mongolians who said: “The number of Christians has plateaued and even decreased”.

And if God doesn’t answer a prayer, maybe a Buddhist lama or a shaman will provide better help.” PRAY

Pope Francis visited Mongolia 1-4 September. Apparently two leading Buddhist requested on social media the Pope be welcomed warmly, as “it is the same faith”. Much of evangelicalism uses Buddhist terms for God (Burhan - Mongolians use this to refer to Buddha), heaven (divaarjin – meaning nirvana) and much else. Buddhist confusion is understandable. Evangelicals participated in the Pope’s interfaith meeting. Other evangelicals refuse to use Buddhist terminology, seeing it as ‘blasphemous” and have their own Bible. PRAY

Bibles are very much needed in China. Despite the printing of Bibles in the country, these only reach the registered churches.

Pray that many children and their families would be holistically supported through network initiatives such as Family Strengthening and the Learning Space, so as to help reduce the risk of children falling behind and dropping out of school, limiting their future learning and employment opportunities.

A woman stall holder in Ulaanbaatar asked a customer, “Where do you work?” On hearing it was connected with the Bible she angrily said: “Jesus’ people” and asked why people did not leave Mongolians alone as they already had Buddhism. It was not Jesus, but unwise methods of evangelism which caused such offence. PRAY people will show Jesus in how they speak of him, how they relate with each other and in the message, they declare, that it will be the Bible message. (Bible Society of Mongolia).

Pray for the preparations and translation work for 15 days of prayer for Hindus that God would use these resources to create awareness among churches and believers and to generate more prayer for the South Asian Diaspora.

Please pray that God will bless this challenging and exciting process.

Summer sees a lot of Christian youth camps taking place in France. Please pray that the young people attending these will be drawn closer to Jesus, not just during the camps but also as they return to schools and colleges in September.

Some blamed the police and "the state", others blamed criminal gangs; many were just shocked and confused by events.

This new journey of being a disciple-making community isn’t easy, and we are taking baby steps.

Please pray for God’s faithfulness and for miracles to keep happening.

Please pray for church-led charity Hope Lebedyn’s in Ukraine. It’s mission to serve those in severe need became even more vital when the war broke out.

Give thanks for organisations like Hope Lebedyn and its mission to support and serve those who have been left devastated by the war. Praise God for how they are helping people in practical and spiritual ways.

In a typical rural church in Malawi, usually just a handful of believers have their own Bible. There are two big issues: access and cost. There are no shops in rural areas and transport to the nearest town or city is usually unaffordable. A Bible costs more than £10, a huge amount for most people. Zambesi Mission’s subsidised Bible scheme aims to address these challenges. They buy the Bibles and deliver them to the recipients who pay a nominal sum for each one. Please pray that more Malawian believers would be able to receive their own copy of God’s Word.

Pray for Nigeria, following the recent Al Massira Hausa-focussed training. May the LORD use all that was taught to raise up and train up existing leaders and new leaders in reaching all people groups with the Gospel. Pray the LORD edifies and multiplies His Church in Nigeria. May this have a 'ripple effect' into Niger. The LORD loves justice but hates robbery and wrongdoing. Pray His people 'find favour' amongst the communities - not seeking to find favour but as they live for Jesus and display His righteousness, truth and justice to all within this precious region. For God's glory!

A lengthy project has just been completed with a partner radio station in Malawi to double the size of the audience who can receive the station.

Please pray for Elizabeth as she continues to build relationships with others working in CAR, and for all of this to build God’s kingdom in CAR.

For many children to become followers of Jesus from what they are taught and that they become strong Christians.
