Goal: New Testament by 2030

Jamie and Char Hunt minister among the Nivaclé people of Paraguay. They are in the process of translating the Bible into the Nivaclé language. Currently almost 50 percent of the New Testament verses are translated into the Nivaclé language. “With God above and over us all, we press forward to complete the New Testament by 2030, by His mercy!

“Pray for wisdom and clarity in translation. Pray for our translation team: Mateo, Godoy, Cerilo, Carmen, Rebeca and Lina.”

Baptisms of Amdu Believers

Benjamin and Missy Hatton minister among the Amdu people of Papua New Guinea. “We have been thrilled to watch some significant growth take place in the Amdu church recently. ... We were looking at Ephesians 1:10, [when] the question was asked, ‘Have we put all things under Christ?’ One believer's heart was stirred by this, and he said that he had been holding off on getting baptized. Others admitted they were feeling the same way, and the result of the conversation was a baptism service on Christmas Day. God's Word is changing lives! We're thrilled to be watching this happen. And our boys, Tieran and Silas, who have been waiting for this moment, joined their Amdu brothers and got baptized too.”

Praise the Lord for growth in the Amdu church. Pray for the Hattons’ older Amdu friends who have yet to understand and believe the gospel. Watch the Amdu believers’ testimonies and baptisms

Exciting Possibilities in Asia

Barrie and Cherri Williamson work with the Southeast Asia Mainland Field Committee and Equip Asia Steering Team. “[In this term of the Equip Asia program,] there are 41 first year students and 31 second year students from a wide range of countries. At the end of this term in May, we are considering accepting new students from the Caribbean as well as Swahili speakers from East Africa. Several other countries also have potential candidates. Pray that we will find just the right advisors who can be involved in the discipleship of each student.

“In Southeast Asia Mainland, historical developments have led to the same languages and ethnic groups being found in several different countries across the region. So, we ask the question: how can efforts be coordinated to both unite and equip the Body of Christ? ... One thing is crystal clear: the Harvest is GREAT, but the laborers … REMAIN FEW. Pray that the Lord of the Harvest would speak to the hearts of His children to take up the challenge and be SENT out to work, for the day is coming when it won’t be possible any longer.”

Missionaries for the LK People

Eric and Cherie Daum serve in Asia Pacific. They recently received official permission to live among the people of LK. “There are [some] who have been eager and helpful to us. Yet there are people hesitant and some even opposed to having people of ‘our religion’ coming to teach them. As a whole, the people of LK have yet to have someone of any religion come and live among them to teach them about God. They would all consider themselves to ‘have religion,’ and this could be one of the biggest barriers for us during our time among these people.”

Praise the Lord that He has provided a house for the Daums in the LK village. Pray that the Lord would begin to soften hearts among the LK people.

A Profound Change

Sam and Kari Bruce minister in Asia Pacific. “The church leaders are currently translating Bible lessons. ... They are studying God's Word daily. They have been excitedly discussing deeper meaning and trying to understand God's character. ... I have noticed a profound change in the way they teach, pray and treat people as church leaders. Pray for strength and encouragement for them; pray for continued growth.”

One Sunday, Sam was preaching on how Jesus is the light of the world. “One man stood up and said, ‘I have never heard Jesus talked about like this in our language; I don't want to be in the darkness; I want to have this light that Jesus brings!’ Fun to see this young man being attracted to the gospel because he's hearing it in his heart talk [language].” Pray for the Bible translation to continue to progress so that more people like this man will benefit from having God’s Word in their heart language.

Spiritual Growth in the Menya Church

Wes and Penny Chappell, currently on home assignment in the USA, minister among the Menya people of Papua New Guinea (PNG). “The Menya Bible teachers taught all the way through the book of Acts on their own. This is the first whole book of the New Testament that they have led the church through without our helping and guiding. Praise the Lord for these faithful teachers who are trusting Him to enable them to study Scripture, apply it to their lives and then lead the church body in understanding and obeying the truths as well. Pray for unity in the body of believers and strength as they share the gospel with those around them.”

Pray for the Chappells as they make preparations to return to PNG this summer. Nelly, a Menyan believer, thanks those who have supported Wes and Penny so that she could hear the gospel.

Guest House Ministry

Torre and Narah Meissner are in Texas and serve at the guest house for missionaries who serve in Mexico. This past year Narah was able to attend a conference on trauma. The conference equipped Narah to better minister to people who come through the guest house. “This weekend of training has already been a help and resource within our ministry as I feel better equipped to walk alongside others who are going through hard times, and I have the knowledge of where to direct them in God's Word.

“Please continue to pray for the relationships we develop and build with the missionaries who stay at the guest house. We are in prayer that God would show us how we can best minister to their spiritual and relational needs while they stay here.”

Deepening Relationships Through Fishing

Joe and Kandi Depue minister among the Baniwa people group of Brazil. “Their ears are shut from the truth of God’s free gift of grace because they believe they can do enough good to deserve salvation! Mourn for them, because one day, if they don’t understand the truth, they will be judged! Yes, we need prayer! We need to believe that God will open their eyes to see their sinful state and realize that they are undeserving of any good thing.

“But God is at work!” During a school break, Joe and his boys spent hours each night catching and preparing fish to serve to attendees of a Bible conference. This helped deepen Joe’s relationship with the men at the conference who noticed his efforts. “Some people were even saying, ‘He has become one of us.’”

Pray for Joe and Kandi as they continue developing relationships with the Baniwa people. “Please pray for Joe as he is struggling a lot to write the chronological Bible lessons to teach.” See the conference.

Finalizing the Wahgi New Testament and Solo Checks

Levi and Robyn Lenz serve in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Levi is a translation consultant, and Robyn ministers to missionary kids at the support center. “Levi was able to finish proofreading the Wahgi New Testament again. ... Now we’re working to finalize the cover and the front matter ... This shouldn’t take too long, and then we should be ready to submit the NT for print! Pray for all the logistics of shipping, etc., to work out smoothly to get the printed New Testaments over here.”

“Levi is doing his first solo checks (without the training consultant) for two different church planting teams. Your prayers for the Bible translators, for the translation helpers and for Levi would be greatly appreciated. It is exciting to see PNG people getting more of God’s Word in their language and to assist other teams in this way.”

Moi Bible Dedication

Nathan and Abby Burris serve in Asia Pacific. In the past, they lived in a town near the Moi people and served the Moi team through supply buying. The Moi people now have God’s Word in their heart language, and earlier this year, they held a Bible dedication. “January 4 marked the momentous day where hundreds of Bibles were flown into their village, and the celebration began! Our co-workers, the Crocketts, have dedicated their lives to seeing the Moi have the Word of God in their heart language. This meant over 20 years of translating, teaching and discipling the Moi. The work has not been in vain. God produced a bountiful harvest of believers who love Him and love His Word. We are humbled and convicted by their knowledge of Scripture and ability to quote it by heart. A people who once lived in fear of the spirit world around them are now confident followers of the Lord.” Praise the Lord that the Moi people have God’s Word in their heart language.

Praying for More Laborers

Dave and Jill Simpson serve in the USA at Ethnos360’s Connection Center, Dave as the coordinator and Jill as an administrative assistant. “The entering class of 2023 was one of the smallest classes of candidates at Ethnos360’s missionary training center. ... Dave and his colleague Tim will be leaving to visit interested students at Ethnos360’s Bible Institute in Wisconsin. ... A number are applying or have graduated and are living in the area. In Matthew 9:38, Jesus tells his disciples to beseech or plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers. Why? Because the need is urgent. Please pray with us for more laborers.”

New Life and Spiritual Unity

Chad and Martha Earl minister among the Maliyali people of Papua New Guinea. “It is encouraging to see believers here desiring to walk in ... newness of life and yet overwhelming at times to know how to guide them in this within the context of their culture. ... Please pray for wisdom. And pray for your fellow members of the universal Body of Christ here in Maliyali to trust God's Talk over the lies that Satan and their flesh want them to hold onto.

“Please also pray for our team here! We are so thankful for them. Please pray that we would all seek each other’s interests above our own and be faithful to communicate in a loving and truthful way to each other as we work together to see the Lord do His thing here!”

Investing in the Kaulong People

Matt and Karissa Long serve in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Matt currently serves as the personnel director. As they reflect on their various ministry roles throughout the years, they ask for prayer for their co-workers and church planters, the Van Der Deckers. “Pray for the Kaulong church. Prior to missionaries Peter and Pam Van Der Decker coming in 1997, a man named Pita from Kaulong consistently hiked seven hours from his village to a neighboring tribe, the Asengseng, to ask for missionaries. Why? Because, as the Kaulong people later told the missionaries, when they looked in the eyes of the Asengseng believers, they saw light. When they looked into their own, they only saw darkness. Today, the Kaulong church is growing in numbers and in their walk with the Lord. There is an Asengseng church elder who consistently invests in the Kaulong believers, and the missionaries there continue to work on translation and discipleship. Pray for the Van Der Deckers to make progress in translation and for God to continue to use His Word to impact both the saved and the unsaved in Kaulong.”

Outreach Literacy Classes

Paul and Ellen Swenson minister among the Tanguat people of Papua New Guinea. Since the church’s most recent baptisms at the end of 2023, the Tanguat church has been busy with various ministries including literacy and Bible classes, a creation-to-Christ Bible study and a new outreach literacy class.

“Pray that the folks who said they will come [to the outreach literacy class] will indeed come and that the church here can make them feel welcome. Pray also that the Lord would help them with their fears. Many are not coming because they are busy giving their money to ‘pastors’ who promise them instant wealth by following their rules. A ‘church’ of this type has popped up in the area in which we hope to do outreach starting next year. Pray for hearts there to see the scams for what they are and to be ready to hear God’s Word. [Pray] that they would realize hearing God’s Word is of much more value than money-making schemes.”

Believing Neighbors for the Dinangat?

Summer Zimmer, communications manager for New Tribes Mission Papua New Guinea (NTM-PNG), asks for prayer for the Dinangat people and their neighbors the Uruwa people. “The Dinangat people, isolated in the ... mountains of Papua New Guinea, can feel like they’re the only believers in existence because of the distance between them and other PNG churches. It is important for newly planted churches to connect with other churches in their general area. ... This enables them not only to learn and grow as believers in relationship with others but [to] increase their confidence that they are not the only small group of people in the world who believe in the truth of the gospel.”

Last year the Brendle, Thek and Weaver families committed to being the missionaries to the Uruwa people group. “Currently, the team is working on shuttling in all the materials needed to build their future homes. Pray for safety and for the relationships they will build during this process. While Uruwa is still a two-day hike from Dinangat, pray that there will eventually be a thriving church there and that as believers they can build one another up.”

Ministering to MKs in Brazil

Sara Heist, serving as a teacher in West Brazil, ministers to missionary kids (MKs) at the MK school EIPQQ. While she was in the USA for Christmas break, Sara was able to purchase materials that will help her better understand how to teach her students with learning differences. “Praise God for provision of the diagnostic tests we needed. ... Pray for wisdom in addressing the deficits the diagnostic tests show in students.

“Pray for provision for the remaining expenses for the special education program.” If you would like to give to the EIPQQ special education program to help provide a quality education for MKs in West Brazil, use the link below. Designate the funds for “PQQSH – PQQ School Curr Resource.” Give to MKs education

Culture and Language Acquisition in the Philippines

Martha Beitzel has recently moved to the Philippines, and Martha and her co-workers, the Knoxes, have started language learning. “Praise God that things that were once hard have become easy, things that were once impossible have become possible and things that were once scary have become familiar.

“Ask God to help the Knoxes and me as we study language and culture. Ask Him to guide our days, to give us strength and insight and to fill us with love and humility toward those we are learning from. Pray that the Knoxes and I would have good health so we can continue progressing through language.”

Standing with the Church in Difficulties

Katie Moore ministers among the Nahuatl people of Mexico. The Nahuatl believers face pressures and persecution from their unbelieving family, friends and community. Many also face hardships due to poverty. “Please pray for Queen [a Nahuatl believer] and her family as they try to honor God in challenging situations. Pray for another believer in Las Moras who is feeling discouraged in her faith and worn down by daily struggles. Pray for the youth to remain strong as they face mocking and persecution. Pray for our team to model a true faith and stand side-by-side with the church in difficulties.”
