Pray with us for our Harvest Appeal, seeking to address hunger in multiple countries. Please pray for a positive response to the appeal; wisdom for both governments and local communities seeking to address the causes of so much hunger; conflict, climate change and the rising cost of living and our partners in countries affected, all seeing a rise in families struggling to feed themselves, including in Zambia, Malawi, Cambodia, Uganda and Bangladesh.

In some points in North Africa there is amazing freedom to distribute Bibles openly on the street. OM teams have worked with local churches and other ministries to place millions of Bibles in recent years. The entrance of God’s Word brings light.

CMS mission partners J and R, working in Bible translation in the Middle East, write that the book of Ezra will be reviewed for accuracy and readability (consultant-checked) in September. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guard against anything that would hinder this vital work. Pray, too, for J and the other Bible translators as they work to balance the time and effort on each book at each stage of the translation.
