Dear Friends In Ephesians 6 v 19 Paul writes, “Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth words may be given to me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the Gospel”. Paul requested prayer to help him in ministry; here today we find prayer requests from our brothers and sisters in ministry. Thank you for bringing their ministries and needs before the Lord so that He will strengthen and help them as they make known the mystery of the Gospel to those who do not, yet, understand it. We pray for you, too, that God will bless you with his provision, wisdom and understanding as you also proclaim the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your AbR colleagues
Chers amis Dans Ephesians 6 v 19 Paul écrivent, « prient également pour moi, que toutes les fois que je m'ouvre mes mots de bouche peuvent m'être donnés de sorte que je fasse connaître courageusement le mystère de l'evangile ». Paul a invité la prière pour l'aider au ministère ; ici aujourd'hui nous trouvons des demandes de prière de nos frères et soeurs au ministère. Merci d'apporter leurs ministères et besoins avant le seigneur de sorte qu'il les renforce et aide comme ils font connaître le mystère de l'evangile à ceux qui pas, pourtant, le comprendre. Nous prions pour toi, aussi, que Dieu vous béniront avec sa disposition, la sagesse et l'arrangement comme vous proclamez également l'evangile de notre seigneur Jésus le Christ. Vos collègues d'AbR
Em Ephesians 6 v 19 Paul escrevem, “Pray também para mim, que sempre que eu abro minhas palavras da boca podem me ser dadas de modo que eu torne conhecido fearlessly o mistério do Gospel”.

Obrigado trazendo seus ministries e necessidades antes do senhor de modo que strengthen e os ajude a como tornam conhecido o mistério do Gospel àqueles que não, contudo, para os compreender. Nós pray para você, demasiado, que o deus bless o com sua provisão, a sabedoria e a compreensão como você proclama também o gospel de nosso senhor Jesus Christ. Seus colegas de AbR

TWR AFRICA *Mozambique - Maputo - to improve the quality and reliability of broadcasts from its Christian FM station, TWR wants to provide the funds to bring personnel to the studio, install acoustical tiles, silent-running air conditioning systems, a generator and UPS backup systems for the computer equipment so that listeners will have greater opportunities to hear the Word of God when they need it most and to help overcome the problem of not being able to broadcast programmes due to power outages. Pray for God’s provision for these needs. *Mocuba - the aftermath of war and a general lack of infrastructure have made it extremely difficult for missionaries to reach the Lomwe people of Mozambique, they are a largely oral culture.
