AFRICA
Continue to pray for peace in Ethiopia. The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) is conscripting children as young as 13 and adults up to 70 year-olds as they invade Amhara and Afar regions. The ongoing conflict has resulted in thousands of people being displaced or killed. The conflicts have also pushed parts of the country into a famine. Please pray for the Tigray, Amhara and Afar people who are suffering. Pray for God’s mercy to bring peace and stability to Ethiopia.
ASIA
FMWM is deeply grateful for Keith and Jenna Battleson’s three years of service in Thailand. Please pray for Keith and Jenna and their two boys as they transition back to the U.S.

Congratulations to Cambodian Superintendent Daniel Sar and his wife, Srey Nouch, on the birth of their son, Zachery, born November 6. Please pray for little Zachery's recovery from acute bronchitis.
EUROPE
Gerry McNamara shares they have recently received permission to start serving in a safe home for mothers and children in Pécs, Hungary. He says, "We are so excited and thankful for this opportunity to reach more people with the gospel message.” Join them in praying for this new opportunity.

Missionaries Chance and Dee Dee Galloway recently celebrated 10 years of service in Bulgaria. Continue praying for open doors and opportunities to expand the work in the Balkans.
LATIN AMERICA
Pray for Pastor Juan Vera and his family in Paraguay. His wife gave birth prematurely. She and the baby remain hospitalized.

Pray for the Latin America leadership team as they wrap up 2021 with annual evaluations and develop strategic plans for 2022. Pray for God’s wisdom and discernment and the anointing of the Holy Spirit to continue advancing in the right direction.

There will be an area-wide Community Church Planting(CCP) meeting via Zoom on Saturday evening, November 27. This will be a celebration of God’s goodness. More than 3,300 people in Latin America have come to know the Lord through CCP this past year. Pray the technology will work. Also, pray God will continue to multiply committed disciples to restore Latin America and expand His Kingdom!
