2. Pray through our partners:

BANGLADESH/WEST BENGAL
God our father, we lift up the country of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, to you. We pray that your spirit would continue to work powerfully through new believers in the house church ministry. We pray that you would give the persecuted strength to endure for your name’s sake. Pray for the church that is caring for the “least of these;” widows who receive love and support from the house church community.

We pray that your loving character would be displayed through the good works of the Christian Service Society (CSS), and developing strong Christian leaders through their many programs.

We pray that the people of Bangladesh and West Bengal would “sing the praises of the Lord… and proclaim among the nations what He (Jesus) has done.” (Psalm 9:11)

Current prayer requests:

• Pray for Dwight Marable and his wife Linda. Praise that Linda is doing well right now. Positive scan this week, and upcoming doctor appointment. Pray for continued improvement on her current drug treatment plan.
• Prayers for Mark’s wife Dora who is experiencing significant back pain. Please pray for pain relief.
• Mark’s mom is having some breathing issues and diabetes issues. Prayers needed for relief and wisdom from the doctors.
• Prayers for the government and stability and protection from persecution. There are anti-Christian forces that are looking to have more control in the political structure of the country that could negatively impact the Church in the country, and fan more radical or violent persecution.

BRAZIL
Jesus, thank you that you have a deep passion to see your name made known to the remote jungle villages in the Amazon River basin. We pray that you would resource the River ministry of the Presbyterian Church of Manaus to reach the lost, make disciples and plant churches.

We pray that IPM will raise up 25 new church planters and evangelists to advance into more remote areas of the Amazon and unreached people groups and have a presence in all 62 municipalities (currently 33) of the Amazonas state.

Pray for the IPM church to continue to help thousands each year surrender to Christ, through their annual Passion event, english camps, river outreach and other ministries.

God, we declare that, you will be lifted up in the nation of Brazil as you are lifted up in the earth. (Psalm 46:10)

Current prayer requests:

• Prayers for the JJ Mesquita, the riverboat/floating health clinic and ministry outreach vehicle that is impacting families once isolated from essential resources. They now have access to healthcare and spiritual nourishment. Each stop along the river reveals stories of transformation—lives changed, hearts healed, and communities renewed. In 2024 alone IPM cared for 6,262 adults and children, including 1,852 dental treatments.
• Pray for the Missionary Training Center (CTM) which offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes biblical, theological, missiological, and methodological disciplines, along with practical skills like mechanics, finance, general maintenance, field training, and horticulture. Following their theoretical studies, students embark on a 30-day practical mission every year in a selected community, guided by experienced missionaries. IPM has a goal of training 100 dedicated missionaries and planting 100 churches across the Amazon.
• Prayers for reaching the unreached people groups. This project began in 2019 with the “Sewing Project” (Semear Project – Portuguese for “sewing”). This effort focuses on establishing personal and long-lasting relationships. Small teams of two or three people visit villages and settlements. This process is both informal and consistent, taking place over one or two years, alongside the formal teaching of the Word through weekly church services. Key believers from each newly planted church are identified and trained in intensive sessions held three times a year outside their villages, covering biblical, pastoral, and leadership topics.
• Praise that clean water is being delivered to remote villages, connecting the physical gift of clean water to the spiritual nourishment found in faith, highlighting how God was blessing their community in more ways than one. Brazil has been suffering significant drought in 2023 and 2024 which impacts commerce on the river, and drinking water supplies.

CZECH REPUBLIC
Please be in prayer for our friends in Central Europe. Recently they have experienced severe flooding in the region.

Pray for safety for our partners working in Ukraine to establish new churches for refugees, and provide love and care for those displaced by the violence.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Frydlant Church (one of only 3 churches in the valley) that is thriving and growing. Pray for their bold witness to their
community. God you said to King David in Psalm 2:8, “Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.” We ask this for the country of Czech Republic today.

Jesus our King, we pray for the country of the Czech Republic. We pray that once again your spirit would move among the people, drawing them to yourself. We pray for them to turn from their sin and open their spiritual eyes to you. We pray for the leaders of Josiah Venture that they would continue to raise new young leaders, disciple them, and encourage new young church planters.

Current prayer requests:

• Czech- City Church | Praise that Milan & Zdenka are back in Ukraine to the city of Ternopil to support and serve the leaders of the churches in the city. The city of Ternopil is not directly in the war zone, but quite often rockets and drones are aimed at this city. Please also pray for the families of the local leaders – it is very complicated because there is a general mobilization in the whole country and they can call men into the army at any time. With the new US administration in place, there is great uncertainty as to the outcome of the war.
• Czech – Josiah Venture & M4 | These two organizations are planning a conference in February 2026 for young church planters to gather from central and eastern Europe to begin new church plants. They are expecting about 120 individuals, who can go back to their countries, and begin to form new church plants. Please pray for the planning, vision, and excitement to grow as people are challenged to come and begin this effort in their individual countries.

HAITI
Please be in prayer for stability and peace in Haiti. Pray for boldness and safety as Christians continue to bring the Gospel to others. New seminary students, new churches, and new believers!

We prayagainst Satan’s hold on that nation. We pray that the power of the Gospel would transform the nation of Haiti from person to person. We pray for our partner Open Door Haiti as they are ministering to the people in Haiti. We pray for your ways to be known in Haiti, your salvation to all the people. (Psalm 67:2)

Current prayer requests:

• Pastor Wiljean – Huge praise that Wiljean has recovered well from cancer surgery and treatments last year. He is working on obtaining his Visa to travel to the US. Praise that they now have 38 churches planted and birthed new seminary students from their training to support these new communities in Haiti.
• Wiljenny – Wiljenny and her husband Judaline (and their 3 young children – including an infant) have relocated from Canada to Haiti to work in her father’s ministry (Open Door Haiti). Pray for their continued settling, new home construction, and overall adjustment for them all.
• Haiti – Police forces arrived from Kenya on 6/24/24. Pray for peace and change in the situation as they stand up to the activities in the country. Pray for the country’s stability, so that Christ Community can return to Haiti in Spring 2025.

NICARAGUA
Please pray for the expanding church plants in the barrios where Chosen Children Ministries (CCM) serve those most in need in the country. Pray for clean water from wells CCM has drilled, for the families who are the recipients of the 100 new homes constructed annually, that their new homes would be places where their neighbors hear about Jesus. Pray for
the Bible college that teaches new church leaders, for medical clinics, food programs, and the child sponsorship program that provides food and educational opportunities to the 1200 sponsored children & their families.

Current prayer requests:

• Prayers for continued protection from government interference
• Prayers for qualified staff
• Prayers for kids to have open hearts to hear about Jesus.

SIERRA LEONE
Holy Spirit we praise you for your great redeeming work in Sierra Leone!

We pray for New Harvest Global Ministries as they seek to plant a church in every village. We pray that you would supply the leaders, the Bibles, the spiritual breakthrough, and the resources to continue to establish your church in that nation.

God, we are ready to be sent by you as we pray, give, and go to impact Sierra Leone. You are the Lord of all the earth and you are the Lord of Sierra Leone. We are willing to shout your name! Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name. (Psalm 18:49)

Current prayer requests:

• Praise: The Every Nation College is open! Students are using the new Eric Hanson Building and the campus is alive with activity.
