PLEASE PRAY ABOUT THESE PANDEMIC CONSEQUENCES IN THE MISSION FIELD.
1. Spiritual Confusion. “The gods must be angry” is what 90% of tribal people believe about the COVID 19 pandemic. Our evangelists are trying their best to teach them to teach about a God of love and mercy, who is full of grace. PRAY FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO WORK WITH POWER – SO PEOPLE’S HEARTS WILL BE OPEN TO LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST.
2. Physical trials. Terrible hunger has affected many. Some 80% of the believers are very poor. Many are landless, so only rely on unskilled labouring for their source of income. The World Transform “Food for a Family for a Week” emergency project has blessed many believers and unbelievers alike. Pray that God would bless the efforts to show the love of Christ in providing food for those with critical need. It is also a great opportunity to showing compassionate concern in the name of Jesus. PRAY THAT PEOPLE HUNGER FOR THE BREAD OF LIFE.
3. Emotional Issues. There’s confusion in the isolation. Sunday worship, mid week meetings etc have not been able to be held. Pray for young believers in their isolation. PRAY FOR YOUNG BELIEVERS TO TRUST CHRIST ALONE in these difficult days. Many migrant labourers are stranded far from home and can’t return because of travel bans. Families are torn apart and there is fear about loved ones. PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE ANXIOUS AND DISTRESSED.
