Praise God for the launch of a new Free Methodist church in Tondolah, Sierra Leone, and for a successful first Sunday worship service. Pray God will bless this new congregation, use the "person of peace" and his home as a place of hope, and draw many people to faith in Christ through this growing fellowship.

Please pray for the Free Methodist Church in Liberia as new church plants continue to grow and the church building in Zwedru progresses toward completion. Ask God to guide and provide for the purchase of 100 acres of land for farming and ministry sustainability.

Please continue to pray for Creative Access-NP following last week's devastating flooding and mudslides. Pray for :

• God's comfort, provision and perseverance for those affected
• Protection of rescue and relief teams
• Superintendent Abraham as he travels to assess needs and deliver food and relief supplies
• Provision of temporary shelter for displaced families
• Wisdom, strength, and resources as the church responds with Christ's compassion and care

Please pray for Zsuzsa Mecseri-McNamara and the preparations for Freedom Sunday in Hungary on October 11. Ask God to inspire more congregations to participate, and help leaders embrace His heart for those who are vulnerable and exploited. Pray this effort will raise awareness, deepen prayer and lead to lasting action as the Church in Hungary brings freedom, justice and hope in Jesus' name.

Please pray for the annual meeting in Creative Access-RA. Ask God to give wisdom and discernment to Thad Roller as he presides and to Pastora Jenny as she leads this mission district. Pray leaders will be encouraged, the body will be strengthened in unity, and God will provide a clear vision for the year ahead. Also pray for those coming from the U.S. to participate, asking the Father to help them communicate effectively, and bless those they serve.

Please continue to pray for the church in the Middle East as believers faithfully serve Christ amid ongoing conflict, uncertainty and hardship. Ask God to strengthen, protect and unite the body of Christ. Pray they will be "the light of the world" (Matthew 5:13-16), reflecting Christ's love through their words and actions so others will see their good works and glorify the Father in heaven, drawing many to the hope and peace found in Jesus Christ.

Pray for the ICCM ministry in Togo and its partnership with Wunders as they provide young women with menstrual health kits, education about human trafficking and gender-based violence, and the hope of Christ. Ask God to protect and empower these girls.

Please pray for the Thrive Junior groups in Kenya as students return to school for the third term. Ask God to help these young people grow in their faith, make wise choices, and remain focused on their studies. Pray the things they have learned through Thrive and the encouragement they have received will strengthen them and give them purpose as they keep God at the center of their lives.
