Please pray for the FM churches in Ethiopia. They recently set aside ten days for fasting, prayer and evangelism programs. On the first day of outreach, 11 people were arrested by the police and placed in jail for two days. They are experiencing strong opposition, and some have been beaten. Even with this resistance, they are continuing to share the good news. Pray God will give them boldness, strength and encouragement and that many will come to faith in Christ.
ASIA
Please pray for Asia Area Director Eric and Virginia as they leave June 13 to make their first trip to Thailand and Creative Access Asia-VN since the beginning of the pandemic. Pray for them as they navigate new travel requirements. Ask the Father to give them good health and effectiveness in ministry.
A Campus Missionary Training Course will be conducted in the Philippines from June 10-12. Ask the Father to give wisdom, provision and strength to all the participants. Pray the presence of the Holy Spirit will inhabit the lives of those preparing for campus ministries in universities across the Philippines.
Thank the Lord and pray for new connections in a country bordering Creative Access Asia-NP.

The Gómez family returns to Colombia this week following the Latin America missionary retreat. They continue to deal with details related to the break-in at their home just before the retreat. Particularly pray the Lord will provide resources to replace essentials like the four computers taken from their home.
MIDDLE EAST
Families from the majority religious background who have come to faith in Christ are often persecuted by relatives and others in their community. Pray for God's protection over them. Pray they will be a blessing to others, and many will come to Christ through the testimony of their lives.
