SGl, which Dave and Robin lead, has a multi-faceted ministry in the Middle East. They have planted 5,000 fruit trees and vines at farms & orchards destroyed by war, and they are working with refugee women to knit/crochet hand puppets to be given to refugee children bringing joy to the children and a bit of income, dignity, and purpose to the women. Dave and Robin are recruiting individuals and groups for various camps and ministry centers to help with refugee needs.

As Mike and Stephanie prepare for their transition back to the US, God has shown them examples of the fruits of their labor in participating in the baptism of a seminary student, from a country of no known believers, that they had prayed for 35 years ago. On a trip to Morocco to visit ABTS graduates they revisited a business they frequented when they lived there and the owner produced their card from 30 years ago. Pray for sweet memories, for preaching to a church of Syrian refugees, and for growing friendships with ABTS students.

Pray for the four teams reaching out to the Sunda, Indonesia’s largest unreached people group. God sent Anto to join the Paul team and brought him into contact with Tatang. Pray Tatang will share the Good News with his family and friends and that his faith will continue to grow as he and Anto mentor new believers. Pray the number of house churches will grow and that local leaders will have passion and boldness to share the Good News.

Brian F has been meditating on how it’s the seemingly “small” things that determine the impact on lives and ministry and has witnessed small things making a difference in the Kingdom: winning football teams, men’s discipleship group, the LEAD team learning the Thai language, holiday festivities, and participating in another CCKK baptism service. Big things need prayer too: for the CCP summer team working with them for six weeks.
