Dear Friends

Already in this year we have seen some notable events, a Global recession, conflict in Gaza, major earth quakes in Italy and Mexico, flooding in Australia, a new USA president with new international policies, recent world concern about the spread of Swine Flu.

Equally notable is what God has been doing, South Africa saw almost 200 000 men gather for the Mighty Men conference, which encourages men to be Christ’s leaders in their homes, the Orissa region in India saw peaceful elections where Christians were able to vote despite former persecution. A Wycliffe Bible Translators press release says that they have, since October 2008, received $117 million to press ahead with a billion-dollar effort to provide literacy and humanitarian aid for ALL the world's small language groups in need of language development by 2025. All this in an economically depressed environment.

And there’s more from Africa, please read on for other prayer and praise items from some of your radio colleagues and a reminder about the AbR Continental Convention 17-19 September, 2009.

God bless

Your colleagues at AbR

Disaster strikes people in your service area. What do you do?

Please find the prayer requests received from some of our colleagues in AbR. We hope you will forgive the poor electronic translations we offer for some of the French and Portuguese submissions but trust they will still enable us to pray about the needs that are expressed.

God bless you, Sandy
