Violence in Papua New Guinea

Weeks of inter-tribal violence in Papua New Guinea’s Hela Province has left at least 19 people dead and around 6,000 people homeless (Daily Mail). Thousands of displaced people have fled to forests where the UN is coordinating efforts to feed and house them in temporary shelter. Pray for success in these disaster response efforts, and peace for the displaced people. Ask the Lord for the fighting to cease and His peace to prevail.

IFES

Australia

February 2021

Event in Australia

Praise God for the National Training Event in early December. While the usual national event with international visitors from other IFES movements was impossible, more than 2,000 students gathered in one of 19 university or combined city groups or watched the livestream from home. Pray for students who studied the “Gravity and Glory” of the Gospel to be bold in telling others about what Christ means to them.

Student movement in Solomon Islands

SIU-CF Solomon Islands, one of the new Christian student movements which affiliated to IFES in July 2019, have been hit hard by recent events. Not by Covid-19 itself, which has not touched their islands, but by preventative lockdown, university closures and very slow, expensive and unreliable internet connectivity. Student ministry is in ‘hibernation’, so please pray that God will grant wisdom to movement leaders as they seek to restart ministry.

Kiribati

July 2020

Potential Growth on these islands

The Republic of Kiribati comprises three archipelagos Gilbert, Rawaki (Phoenix) and Line, with 33 coral atolls (23 of them inhabited) scattered across 2,000,000 sq km of the Pacific Ocean. Evangelical Christians are increasing, mainly through Pentecostals. Growth is too often followed by decline, since foreign financial windfalls and occasional healings seem to be the main attractions, rather than Biblical preaching and transformed lives. Pray for the Bible Colleges of Assemblies of God and Church of God to provide sound Biblical teaching for future church leaders to lead churches which will be wise and transformative.

WEC International

Tuvalu

July 2020

Environmentally and Socially Fragile

Very limited resources, possible rising sea levels and modern/global external influences make this traditional culture fragile, both environmentally and socially. Pray that wisdom would prevail in preserving Tuvalu as a nation and culture, and that the long-standing presence of the Church would play a major role in this.
