Pray for David and Aliece to get some much-needed medical care for cardio issues while in the U.S. The exhaustive schedule he has been keeping contributes to his health as he often travels very long distances for security reasons, and sometimes teaches in facilities with no heat.

Praise that her lifelong friend Vicky accepted the Lord and was baptized before she went home to the Lord. Pray they can be good stewards of God to faithfully parent their three children and find time to enjoy each other.

Pray for wisdom, discernment and God’s vision for the team.

David and Lisa are among the millions confined to their homes due to the coronavirus. They are grateful to have food and supplies but ask prayer for a refugee family of 11 from Pakistan they have been praying for and helping. The father died in Thailand, where Dave met them, because they had no money for medical treatment. They are baptized MBBs whose visas have expired and who have been rejected for refugee status. Pray they will find a sponsor so the family can find refuge.

Pray for Faith as she completes her one year of service and has gotten engaged to Seme, a young man she met on a mission trip in 2018, and who works with children in Northern Uganda.

Tim and Huilan were pleased to be able to attend the KL2020 Conference to reconnect with some they had ministered to before having to leave their country of service.

Despite the fears you came!” Pray as Tim continues to train pastors on-line and Huilan works with the special program geared toward their wives.
