Prayer Request for Lake Tanganyika

Day Care Centre

We recently started a playgroup with orphan children, every Thursday morning. Pray that God will touch the hearts and minds of these children and that they will grow to love Him and live for Him. Pray that they will break with the lies of their culture and tradition, which has a witchcraft foundation. Pray for Ethel and Uncle Joe that is currently involved with the work. Pray Numbers 6:24-26 for the children.

Villages

Pray for the villages along the shores of Lake Tanganyika where the Good News II missionaries are planting churches; Gift and Judicious in Nzovwe village, Lewis and Muhandu in Tongwa Village and Peter, Kennedy and Donald in Katete. Peter and his team are mobilizing the existing churches of Nsumbu to reach out to the lost. Pray for the local people who have never heard or made a choice for Jesus. Pray for the work that is done in Mpulungu village where Uncle Joe, Callen and Lucy and Ether are working in the local churches with the children and youth. Callen and Lucy were recently blessed with a baby boy. Pray John 5:24

Global Day of Prayer

Please pray for the arrangements for the Global day of Prayer on the 11th May. Pray that the leaders from the different denominations will understand this united day of prayer and that God will open their hearts and minds that the body can pray in unity in Mpulungu. Pray also for the prayer room that we opened. Pray that God will raise up committed and serious people to pray for His Kingdom to come in this area.

Good News II

Three local families, working with the Good News II team, have just finished the two month discipleship training in Kabwe (ProChristo training base, Zambia). Pray for them as they are settling back into their community and living out the biblical principles they have been taught. Pray that God will protect their hearts and minds against the onslaught of the enemy. Pray that they will stand frim and keep their eyes on the Lord Jesus. Pray that God will bless them and that they will be salt and light in Mpulungu.

People of Lake Tanganyika

Pray for the lost people of Lake Tanganyika who are living in the bondages of darkness. Pray that the children of God will spread the good news about salvation and that their ears will be opened and that they will turn from their wicked ways. Drunkenness, immorality, practicing of wichcraft, ect. is a lifestyle associated with the local people. Thank God for His love and mercy for them and pray Rom 10:13.
