Prayer Zone

 VOICE Philippines

1. Praise God for His blessing, direction, expansion, and provision over the past 20 years of VOICE Philippines ministry! Pray that the 20th Anniversary celebration next month, November 15, would indeed honor and glorify our God, the Lord of the Harvest. According to God's will, VOICE would like the following to be part of this celebration: 
   1 - The completed 2nd Daily Devotional Book, 
   2 - Truth & Honesty module for High School to be printed, 
   3 - A replacement National Director to be introduced. 

2. There remains a number of other curriculum modules that are out of print. Please ask God to provide funding for these as well as the ongoing ministry of VOICE Philippines. They are trusting God for sufficient funds to replace old computers and add one or two staff members. 

 VOICE Africa 

1. Due to some complications, the funds donated toward the printing of Self-Control in Swahili and the translation/printing of Purity in Amharic have not yet been fully remitted. The issues are being worked out--pray that this transaction will happen soon so as not to further delay plans in these nations.  

2. The South Sudanese Refugee Camps in northern Uganda are planning for their Annual Year-End Conference in December. Pray for the leadership in these camps to be led by the Lord as plans and preparations are made. Ask God for much lasting fruit as God's Word is shared. 

3. The Scripture Union Uganda VOICE team continues to offer trainings throughout Uganda and follow up those who have been trained. Praise God for a good number of schools that are being taught Biblical Values and ask for more trained volunteers to get involved. 

 

Laura and Ruth

1. Laura is sharing an update on VOICE Africa at New Hope Community Church, Moncton, on Sunday, Oct. 19. Ruth will teach Children's Church on Oct. 19 and 26, plus share with a Ladies' Night Out (Fri., Oct. 24) during her church's Missions Conference. Please pray that we will be led and used of the Lord as we communicate with the various ones.

2.  Traveling mercies are needed over the next month and a half as Ruth drives to Sussex (Oct. 28-29), we fly to Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, (plus lots of travel via various means while in each country) and back to Canada, and then Ruth returns to New Hampshire. 

3. Please ask God to grant continued health for Laura’s 97 year-old mother in Laura’s absence.  

4. While in East Africa, please pray for good health (including protection from malaria), sufficient strength and wisdom for the schedule, good fellowship with Beth Baleke and other leaders and that God would use us to be an encouragement to those we interact with.

5. If it could be God's will, we would love to actually see the "finished products" of the financial projects that so many have given toward and prayed for--Self-Control module in Swahili, and Purity in Amharic. However, due to the above mentioned complications which have caused significant delay, that may not happen--but God's will be done!
