David & Lisa

David and Lisa are grateful for the support of their children during the past two years with all the “bumps in the road” and ask prayer for healing for David and godchild Bella’s eyes. Pray for stamina and perseverance for David to complete the last chapter of his dissertation, patience and endurance for Lisa as she balances ministry and business, and for both dealing with the loss of close family and friends. Pray for favor with the local government as their visas are due for renewal.

Mitchell & Lisa

Pray for Mitchell, as he works hard to serve in his church, and mobilize students in evangelism and vision to serve in their country, all while fulfilling administrative duties as one his university’s vice presidents. Pray for Lisa, that she will be able to serve the expatriates of their church through helping them access medical care. Pray that God will give them wisdom to develop healthy and sustainable family and ministry schedules.

 

Roger & Abi

Roger and Abi Lowther share that this past year has been the hardest by far for pastors and missionaries with health, family, finances, stress, and fatigue, but also the most fruitful. The church had eleven baptisms and restored many broken relationships. They received their permanent residence status after 13 years. Son Aiden transferred to an international school to keep up with his English, while the other three sons continue in Japanese schools. Pray for the Lowther family and their artistic ministry.

Kyle & Claudia

Now that La Mision Church has multiple sites, celebrating their 19th anniversary was a wonderful time to gather and worship together. Pray for new relationships to be built as a result of the Jazz Festival that La Mision Palermo recently hosted and for completion of classes at the community center, Construyendo Suenos where Kyle has been involved. Pray for the Zimmermans as they prepare for a time in the states.

 

 

 

Tezar & Tatiana

Pray for Tezar and Tatiana as they look for new space for the church that will prepare them for expansion, and that they will be able to develop new ministries for Covenant City Church. Pray for their worship leader, who will return to Indonesia this month, and begin to share some of the leadership responsibilities with Tezar.

Bill & Lauren

Pray the Finnell’s are refreshed and ready to settle back into ministry after their Christmas visit in Memphis. Lauren has officially finished her language requirements. Bill needs to complete and pass his language requirements by the end of the spring semester. Transition is hard and they continue to feel stress and tension adjusting to life in a new country, pray this will lessen as they become more familiar with their new location and new teammates.

Amy

Pray for Amy Zimmerman as she becomes Amy Prudhomme tomorrow. Pray God would bless her marriage to Jonathan, that He would ground and establish their relationship in Him, and that He would prepare them for evangelistic and church planting ministry together in Italy.

 

Mozambique/Malawi

Pray for our partners in Mozambique and Malawi, that God would end the drought in Southern Africa with a healthy rainy season, that He would multiply the efforts of Jamene and Gibson, World Relief country directors in Mozambique and Malawi, and that staff and volunteers could fully integrate spiritual and physical care as they minister to churches serving their communities.
