Biblical business studies in Tanzania

The entrepreneurship project in Mwanza, Tanzania is a collaboration between Emmanuel International Tanzania and Tanzania Assemblies of God church. It aims to help the poor overcome poverty by teaching biblical business skills and loaning groups money to start a business. Teaching includes biblical truths, laying a foundation of biblical integrity in life and business. It also lays the foundation for a loving relationship with the Creator. Please pray for the new groups in Lugeye, Magu and Bundilya: for unity and success in their business but also for those members who do not know the Saviour, that they will be reached.

Conflict in Tigray, Ethiopia

The ongoing armed conflict in Tigray in Northern Ethiopia that began in November has left many dead and injured and about 2 million people displaced. Pray for Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, to find a timely and peaceful resolution to this war. Pray for organisations, the church and local believers to be able to bring God’s love and hope as well as practical help. Pray for God’s intervention and his presence to be felt for those affected and those still in danger.

Help for disadvantaged women in Tanzania

CMS mission partner Heather Johnstone runs the Rehema Project in Mara, which seeks to empower the most disadvantaged women and children in the area. Rehema’s café and craft shop reopened in January after having been closed for almost a year. Pray for encouragement for the ladies running the shop and for the customer base to increase, as the ladies rely on the shop’s income to provide for themselves and their families.

Al Massira trainings in Africa

Pray for the follow up to Al Massira (AM) trainings held in Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Malawi. Pray the ‘gospel of peace’ to be clearly communicated through every participant. May each proceed to journey through this gospel resource with friends. Pray our Father’s protection over his people particularly so as hostile groups increase their threats to ‘steal, kill and destroy’. Pray the One who came to give ‘life and life in abundance’ would meet with those that persecute him and his people. Pray God’s abounding provision for the development of an AM App to further enable his Good News to be heard.

Education changes lives

Education changes lives in so many ways. Children have skills for a career, school lunch for many are a critical part of their nutrition, education is one of the best ways of avoiding teenage pregnancy and early marriage. Closure of schools due to Covid-19 restriction has meant children have taken a step backward in their education, many girls have dropped out of school, teenage pregnancy have increased, parents are struggling to make even the modest contributions to educational costs. Please pray that children will soon be allowed back to school and once again be enthusiastic students and that girls will be protected from sexual abuse.
