Madurese in Indonesia: The Madura people are the third largest people group in Indonesia (around 7.7 million), living mostly on East Java and Madura Island. An insightful Madura saying is, 'It is better to die than to be humiliated', and they are renowned as fierce fighters and hard workers, but also for Satay kebabs. They are Sunni Muslim, yet many resort to using amulets, magic spells, or prayers to ancestors in their efforts to find security. Pray for them to hear and understand the gospel.

Komering in Indonesia: These people originated from the Komering River area of south-east Sumatra and subdivide themselves into 'upstream' and 'downstream' communities. Many depend upon rain cisterns or river irrigation for rice cultivation. Changing religion from Islam is very difficult; marriages between a Komering and a non-Muslim is forbidden.

As our strapline says, we are “A place of friendship where the love of God is demonstrated.”

Very many in Mongolia have yet to hear a clear presentation of the Gospel. Please pray for the ministry of Bible videos which are popular and seen by many thousands of Mongolians. The vast majority are not church attendees. Each video addresses a topic Mongolians have an interest in, yet presents clear Bible truth. Please pray for this ministry.

Decades of war, political instability, and extremism have left many in Herat, Afghanistan disillusioned with Islam. Pray that this disaffection would be answered by the gospel, and lead to faith and new life in Jesus Christ for many Herati’s.

January 2024

January 31st is the international day of prayer for Kosovo. Kosovo is going through a difficult time politically and economically. The national news is warning about the threats of Serbian military invasion in Kosovo. Pray for the peace of God to reign in this region. In the last month over half a million people have left Kosovo, which has brought economic instability. There is also a rise of religious tensions in the country, especially within the Islamic community. We have seen a decline within the evangelical church and the need for workers and missionaries is very high in the country.

France Mission

Europe  |  France
 | 
January 2024

There are currently (mid-February 2024) two major ethical issues in France that are in the political spotlight. (1) Likely legislation on end-of-life matters where much will depend on whether palliative care and assisted suicide are linked in the same bill or made the subject of two separate pieces of legislation. French Christians are praying that they will be kept separate. (2) The possible inclusion of abortion as a "guaranteed freedom" in the French Constitution (abortion has been legal, and widely practised, in France since 1975). French MPs voted in favour at the end of January; French senators (who play a similar role to the House of Lords in the UK) are currently debating the issue. Evangelicals (and others) are arguing against the change, on the grounds that it is unnecessary and would diminish the rights of children and medical staff. They would appreciate your prayers on both these topics.

Minangkabau in Indonesia: There are around 6.91 million Minang people spread across Indonesia and they are 99.7% Muslim. Their name reflects an ancient fable about outwitting a Javanese fighting water buffalo. Today they are recognised as good traders of clothing and jewellery and excellent restaurant owners. Their society is matrilineal, meaning an uncle or brother-in-law will make a family’s decisions. Pray for whole families to turn to Christ.

Musi Malay of Indonesia: The 690,000 Musi-speaking people originate from the Musi River valley area of South Sumatra.

Druze in the Levant: Over one million Druze originate in the Levant region, calling themselves the 'Mowahidoon'. Their religion was founded on 9th and 10th century caliph and mystic teachings from Persia and Egypt. Like Alawi people, they believe in 'transmigration of the soul' (reincarnation). They are reticent to talk about their religion, don't accept converts and rarely intermarry with outsiders. Although they respect Jesus as a prophet, the Druze do not know him as Lord.

WEC International

Middle East  |  Lebanon, Syria
 | 
January 2024

Alawi people of the Levant: The Alawites are a closed society, led by the 'Khassah', initiated religious leaders who learn the mysteries of their religion. 'Alawi' refers to their veneration of Ali as a manifestation of God; therefore they are persecuted by mainstream Muslims. The mountains have been a haven for such minority groups; today 127,000 Alawites live in Lebanon and 1.67 million in Syria. Alawites will not discuss their beliefs with visitors. There are few known believers, so the good news needs to be shared particularly with Khassah leaders.

Palestinian Arabs of the Levant: The term 'Palestine' originates with the Philistines in Biblical times, and was reintroduced by the Romans circa 135AD. It was not used again until 1917 when the British captured the region from the Ottoman Empire. When 30 years later the UN partitioned the region into two states, Jordan and Israel, the ensuing war caused many to be expelled from their homeland, and their descendants became refugees. Pray for the 2.6% Palestinian Christians to hold onto hope and have courage to reach across barriers to Jewish and Muslim neighbours.

Bedouin Arabs in the Levant: The Bedouin traditional homeland is the Arabian Desert. Some have migrated north into the Israeli Negev region, the West Bank, Gaza, the Sinai peninsula and Lebanon. They speak Bedawi Arabic and lead a harsh existence with few amenities. The Banu Sakhr and the al-Huwaytat are mostly nomadic sheep and goat herders, while the Fellahin take menial jobs or farm on the desert edge. Pray for a movement to Christ among the Levantine Bedouins.

Praise God for Medical Ambassadors Foundation’s autumn activity, where children from the villages they work in enjoyed songs, Bible memory verses, games and face painting in a local forest. It was a great time for all! Medical Ambassadors Foundation would love us to pray for God to provide funding for their Puppet Project - they would like to buy some large puppets and refurbish the puppet theatre used in their children’s ministry.

Asia  |  Mongolia
 | 
December 2023

Numbers of Mongolians now talk of polytheism in Mongolian society and in the churches. This is at last being brought out after 30 years. Please PRAY. There is schism in Mongolia, a mainly Buddhist country. Some call God ‘Lord of the Universe’ using no pagan terms for Christianity. There is no Bible training available for people who reject pagan terms for the Bible. On the other side missionaries and nationals promote Bibles which use Buddhist terminology for prayer and other key terms in the Bible. They call God ‘Burhan’, which since at least the ninth century and even more so today, is the word referring to Buddha or any image of Buddha. These people have Bible training and are in the majority. So far mission agencies have not told their supporters they support Buddhist terminology. They have different Bibles with names of the books, place and people all different.

The situation in Israel and Palestine has exacerbated tensions in France which has the largest Jewish and Muslim populations in Western Europe. In particular, over 1500 antisemitic acts have been recorded in France since the events of 7th October 2023 and there is real concern among the country's Jewish population. Pray for politicians, faith leaders, media outlets, police, and the judiciary as each plays their part in trying to defuse tensions and promote peaceful co-existence.

A radiotherapy machine donated from a cancer centre in Wales is being installed at the Mbingo Hospital in Cameroon. Pray for negotiations with local contractors over the price of concrete as they build the bunker for the machine.

Please pray as they ask the Lord to provide for this important need.

Radio is popular in Guinea Bissau but their infrastructure is very poor. One month after a radio partner in Guinea Bissau started to pray about increasing the broadcast coverage of their Christian station, a 'Kingdom investor' came out of the blue and asked if they had considered broadcasting into more of the country! Pray as we help the partner to investigate a reliable and cost-effective way to send their signal over large distances to the repeater towers that will be required. Pray for the many unreached people who will hear about Jesus.

Zambesi Mission

November 2023

Life for church pastors in Malawi is very challenging. The aftermath of Cyclone Freddy and the war in Ukraine has made everything so costly. Then in November the Central Bank devalued Malawi’s currency by 44%. Imagine if you had £100 in the bank today and tomorrow it is only worth £66. This squeeze affects pastors and their families badly, because their church members also feel the pinch and are less able to support their pastors. Give thanks for their faithfulness and pray that the Lord would sustain them and help them to persevere in ministry.

Socotrans people in Middle East: The indigenous people of Soqotra Island have had almost no Christian witness for generations and practise very conservative Islam. On this archipelego of four islands with unique flora and fauna between the UAE and Yemen temperatures sometimes reach 40°C. There is no Word of God in the Soqotri language.

Bedawi Beja in Sudan: The Beja are a Muslim group of over 2.7 million Cushitic people who live scattered across the desert regions of Sudan, Egypt, and Eritrea, and speak Bedawiyet rather than Arabic or Tigre.

Tigre People in Eritrea: Although the 1.8 million Tigrinya people in Eritrea are mostly Orthodox or Coptic Christian, there are 743,000 Eritrean Tigres who practise a form of Folk Islam. Their beliefs include animal sacrifices and rain-making rituals. Sacrifices are offered whenever they think their sins are numerous. The Jesus Film is available in their unwritten language, but prayer is key to reaching this people group with the Gospel.

Pray also that they will experience God's protection as they do so.

Let's pray for all the families in need as education costs soar, making it less affordable for many.
