Opening the Way in Prayer

We are grateful for the opportunity to visit and train leaders – some from remote areas – of Southeast Asia for the next few weeks. Please pray for travel mercy for our trainers as well as the attendees. Pray for them for courage, strength and provision to be able to spread the Good News in their areas of work. May many come to know Christ as their Saviour.

Praise God with us for more opportunities to present the Harvesters Disciple Makers course at several churches across South Africa for the next few weekends. Pray that the Holy Spirit will ignite, encourage and strengthen these congregations to go and make disciples in their areas.

Please pray for our Licensed Trainer travelling through Zambia to lead training in Livingstone, Monze and Lusaka. Pray for prepared hearts and the entire journey will be blessed.

Please pray for our team travelling to encourage existing church leaders in Lesotho. Pray also for God ordained appointments to share the Harvesters vision in order to expand the work in this area.

God is on the move. Many wonderful opportunities opened up for Harvesters to present and train various groups in this vast area. Please pray for all the trainers and facilitators across Eurasia to be encouraged and strengthened and pray also for those that He has called to attend these sessions, for protection, boldness and provision to fulfil their ordained role in expanding His Kingdom.

Praise God with us for the opportunity earlier this month to present Harvesters to a group of 30 pastors from 5 different areas in the Kingdom of Eswatini. Pray that God will continue to open the way in this area.

During October and November various training sessions that envolved several hundred leaders took place in the Ivory Coast. It was a challenging time with many delays and obstacles to overcome, but God remains faithful. One team trained and encouraged leaders in Bondoukou, Bouna, Tanda, Agnibilekrou, Abengourou and finally in Azito (where 70 Hub Leaders graduated after completing the final Phase F training of Harvesters Bible School curriculum). During the same time, another team trained leaders in Cemose, Abobo, Daloa, Bouake and Yamassoukro.

We praise the Lord for all the people reached in this country and pray for guidance for the journey ahead with these willing servants of God.

We praise the Lord for the opportunity to enter this country and to help to build His Kingdom. The recent envisioning in Dakar yielded a positive response. We pray that God will prepare the ground for when we return. There is a great need for the true Gospel in this country.

Praise the Lord, we recently had our first graduation in Addis Ababa with our initial group of church planters and the excitement levels were very high. In spite of many challenges, a global pandemic and civil war, this group of co-workers persevered and finished the final phase (Phase F) of the Harvesters Bible School curriculum.

Acts 14:22 “… strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.””

After the terrible events that happened on the weekend of 7 October, Israel declared war. Pray for Christians on all sides of this conflict to be instruments of peace and hope. Pray for those who have lost loved ones and those still being held hostage.

• Pray for aid resources to reach civilians and internally displaced people throughout the region.
• Pray for believers, including contacts and colleagues of Harvesters Ministries, living in and near the region to be instruments of hope, support and reconciliation.
• Pray for revival to break out across the region, bringing true peace that can only be found in Christ, that will shine as a testimony to the world.
