Prayer and Praise April 19, 2023 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Genesis 12:2-3 (NIV)

Guinea

Missionaries Tom and Sherry Moore shared: “We would like to thank everyone who has been praying with us concerning returning to Guinea this year. God opened doors for us to return to Guinea from mid-August through mid-November and we bought our tickets! Our hearts are full of gratitude as we look forward to seeing our people again! Please continue to pray that all the details will come together and that funds will come in for the three churches we hope to start building while we are there.”

Brazil:

Field Director Marcos Vinicius stated: “First of all, my family, the church, and I want to thank you for your prayers for our church in Brazil. In recent months we have asked for prayers for our home Bible study group project. We have introduced new people to faith in Christ and reaped the fruits of this project. We ask that you keep us in your prayers for the development and expansion of this project in the coming months. Our plan is to multiply the groups and reach more homes and families for Jesus.”

Cambodia:

Missionaries Ly and Sarin Mak ask us to pray for Cambodia. In Cambodia they celebrated Khmer New Year from April 13-16. Please pray that God will protect all the people that are still traveling back to their homes as this is the time of the year there are many serious accidents.

Nicaragua:

Missionaries Nelson and Tirsa Gaitan informed us that the government of Nicaragua is now revoking all non-profit statuses of churches in the country. This is a cause of serious concern as the Gaitans endeavor to register the church properties using civilian registrations which will help Open Bible keep the properties we have. Please pray for God’s direction and for the protection of the Open Bible work there.

Papua New Guinea:

Pastor Poi asked for prayer for one of his church members at the Port Moresby Open Bible Church, Blacky Wako, who will soon undergo an operation. Please pray that the surgery is successful and that the Lord restores him to full health.

Tijuana Mexico:

Missionaries Justus and Michaela Morgan shared: “We are thankful for Sunshine Open Bible church from Des Moines, Iowa, coming to Tijuana and being a blessing to the community. The group went to Pastor Abelino’s feeding kitchen where they shared fun activities and taught the children about faith. The church is now building a house to bless a family in need.  Pray for the team as they finish building the home and pray for safety, that nobody will get injured.
