Pray for the FM National Women's Conference in Kenya, September 10-13, as more than 200 women gather for worship, fellowship and teaching around the theme, "Arise, Awake and Build" from Nehemiah. Ask God to make His presence known, renew each woman's faith, and use this time to encourage and equip them for ministry and service.

Pray for the Mzuzu church in the Northern Malawi Conference as they face challenges with encroachment on their property. Ask God to help them secure the land and guide all parties toward a peaceful resolution.

Pray for missionary David Clemente as he travels this month to New Zealand, the Philippines, and Creative Access-MY. Ask God to grant him safe and smooth travel. Join him in praying for the Jesus Love Ministry (JLM) in New Zealand as they move toward affiliation with FMWM-Asia.

Please continue to pray for our FM family in Creative Access-NP following the recent flooding and devastation. Reports from one leader indicate at least a dozen homes belonging to believers were swept away, and 28 believers from his community are still missing. Pray for:

• Those who remain missing.
• Grieving families and traumatized survivors.
• Food and emergency supplies to reach those in need.
• The church's generous and compassionate response.

Pray for the upcoming Impact Latin America gathering in Seattle on September 12, as those who share a heart for Latin America come together to celebrate what God is doing across the region. Ask God to use this time of worship, testimony and fellowship to encourage His people, inspire greater involvement in disciple-making and call people to a new level of engagement.

Pray for the ministry among displaced young people in northern Iraq, many of whom have been impacted by war and uncertainty. Ask God to use discipleship and Christ-centered relationships to nurture their faith and raise young leaders prepared to share the hope and love of Jesus Christ with others in their communities.

Please continue to pray for ICCM Haiti as ongoing gang violence continues to displace families, disrupt communities and threaten the safety of children, schools and churches. Ask God to protect those who have been forced from their homes, bring peace and stability to affected areas, and provide food and other basic needs. Pray for stability as schools prepare for the upcoming year. Also, pray for wisdom, endurance and encouragement for ministry leaders serving amid these unimaginable challenges.
