Pray for success and provision for: - our partners operating formal schools in India and Kenya - our partners running informal education initiatives, in Sri Lanka, Syria, Malawi, India and Bangladesh - our partners working to improve literacy, in extremely difficult conditions, in Myanmar and South Sudan - Pray for all the young people these initiatives seek to help

Please pray for: - a positive response to the appeal - wisdom for our partners in countries affected by drivers of food poverty, especially drought in our African projects, conflict and economic instability - families struggling to provide even one meal a day - wisdom in developing work to protect against food insecurity, as well as resources to feed children where necessary.

Give thanks for BMS World Mission workers Louise and Peter Lynch, and for the support they give to BMS partner the Christian College of Theology in Bangladesh. Pray that the graduates will use their learning to enhance the Church’s witness. Pray too for BMS-supported workers Bina and James as they reach out to communities with the gospel message and help run education projects in Sreemangal.

Feba partner RMB in Bangladesh is using shortwave radio to reach out to those exploring the Christian faith. In June, Bangladesh experienced some of the worst floods on record. Many roads have been destroyed and there continue to be widespread power cuts. Hundreds of thousands have lost their homes, cattle, crops and livelihoods. Many listeners are contacting RMB Radio for help and asking for financial assistance to repair their homes. Please pray for team at RMB responding to callers and trying to give as much practical and spiritual support as possible in the midst of this extremely challenging situation.
