Week of 23 Jan 2022

HOME MISSIONARIES

Kent and Elizabeth Slack: (COS) Pray the details of the 21-23 January Littleton, Colorado retreat will fall into place.  Many students are involved in weekly discipleship.  Pray they will grow in their walk with Christ.  There are one or two people who would like to join the Christian Challenge staff.  Pray for further dialogue and details.  Pray the right people are applying for this opportunity to minister.

FOREIGN MISSIONARIES

Dusty and Ashley Jackson: (near Seoul, South Korea) Dusty and Ashley are music teachers at Gyeonggi Suwon International School (GSIS) south of Seoul, South Korea.  For the first time in several years, Dusty was able to have in-person concerts this past semester.  The students were excited to share what they had learned musically during the course.  The school has hired several new teachers and principals.  It has been a blessing to see the spiritual maturity they have brought into the school.  Pray for the school to hire a new campus minister this coming semester.  Pray for this person and other teachers to be hired to be strong Christians and that they will have a Godly influence in student’s lives.

Robbyn Booker: (Africa/Middle East) Robbyn’s Middle East and North African area director, Bill, recently went into Morocco to evaluate the strength and quality of Radio Vida from Southern Spain.  The signal was strong – Bill was excited about more Arabic programming going into this area.  Reach Beyond began transmitting new programming into Morocco on Dec 5^th.  A ministry partner in Morocco said he listened to a program in Arabic about how to serve God!  Every word was clear!  Pray people will find these truths on their radios and that seeds will be planted that the Lord of the Universe loves men, women and children.  Pray these people will desire to follow the Lord!

Oswald and Amanda: Oswald and Amanda had local friends in their home over the Christmas celebrations to decorate cookies!  It was a fun way for the kids and adults to get together.  Amanda also attended a party between the ladies in the jewelry business.  The jewelry business has picked up and with that Amanda has met more ladies involved in the venture.  Pray these ladies will be open to a Bible study.  They used to meet before COVID-19.  Pray they would be open to meet again.  Several of these ladies are not believers and need to hear the stories about Jesus.  Pray for open hearts in this lady’s group.

Herb and Celeste: Please continue to pray for digital meetings between Herb, Celeste and their creative team members as they work to report back to Southern Baptist church groups.  Pray these reports and Zoom Prayer Rooms create more interest in church and lay leadership work in overseas areas in the Asia, Pacific area of ministry.  Pray for Herb and Celeste as they work for the International Missions Board and also care for aging parents.

Mark and Lona Webb: (Killarney, Ireland) Thank the Lord for good attendance at church last Sunday!  Also, praise the Lord for Madeleine’s safe arrival in the US!  In fact she and Jonathan Noggle sang a lovely duet last Sunday morning!  The man who has been waiting on heart surgery had his procedure this past week – we are waiting on the outcome.  Pray for a young man who had eye surgery last week.  Pray for all details of their return to the US to come together.  The Webbs will be in the US from May through August.  Pray for a revival in Ireland!
