Opening the Way in Prayer

Pray with us that the Truth will shine brightly into the darkness this Easter.

“I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 (NIV)

A heat wave during February ruined many crops in Southern Zambia, Zimbabwe and northern parts of South Africa. Although the stems are green there are limited cobs on the plants. Now is the time that rivers should be flowing, but they are empty. People should be eating to gain weight for the winter months. Many people are not reaping from their harvest as they should have. Without intervention, hunger will strike these parts with a vengeance in 2-3 months from now. Lord we pray that you will feed our people.

Please pray for our leaders who will be training around 200 pastors in Managua, Nicaragua this week. Pray for safe travels, all logistics and for the vision to be well received.

Praise God for the opportunity to introduce the Harvesters church planting methodology in Cuba. Please pray that God will continue to show leaders the plans He has in Cuba. May His favor and grace be with them and may He prepare the way for many churches to be planted here.

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.
