"Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers.” (1 Corinthians 3:8-9a, NJKV)

WORLD LEADER - - “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please pray today for Prime Minister Willy Telavi of Tuvalu (western Pacific Ocean).

LAST FRONTIER - Workers have good news to share! Join them in rejoicing and giving thanks to God for one who has received new life! After more than two years of building relationships among a population segment of a Last Frontier people group, a woman in her 90s has given her heart to Jesus and has already followed up her commitment with baptism! Her years are many, but her mind is still very sharp. Please pray for her now to grow in this new relationship and to have a bold story to share with her friends. Ask that she will be satisfied daily in the Word and experience His peace in her heart.

SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN UNENGAGED PEOPLES - An Engagement Team member writes: “We began to hear about the Bulouf when we started doing research in the Casamance area of Senegal. ‘Are the Bulouf a people group?’ we’d ask our expatriate friends. ‘No, Bulouf is an area.’ ‘Is this an area?’ we’d ask our national friends. ‘No, it’s a people group.’ Although all indications were leading us to believe more and more that the Bulouf really were a people group, we still needed more evidence.” Recently, while doing research in The Gambia, the team was searching for another unengaged, unreached people group called the Bayot. On the way to an area they had previously visited, they gave a ride to some women who were walking down the same dirt road they were traveling. These women were going to a funeral. The team member writes: “When they indicated that they wanted to get out of the truck, I asked, ‘Who lives in this area?’ ‘Oh, this whole area is Bulouf.’ Excitement was building as we recognized God was showing us that the Bulouf are indeed a people group. ‘Are there any Christians?’ ‘No, we are all Muslim.’ God went to great lengths that day to make sure that we understood that the Bulouf are a people group! He wants every tribe to know and worship Him, and He had orchestrated this day for us to know for sure that they are a people group in need of the Gospel. Pray that the Bulouf will have access to the Gospel.”
