Recent report: “Please pray for the training of Sunday school leaders and Good News Clubs leaders that will take place from September 19 to 22. We currently have 90 clubs touching 12,000 children in Senegal and three churches have already been planted through these clubs.”

Prayer Focus: Please pray that the leaders will be spiritually and emotionally encouraged and strengthened during these training sessions. Pray also that they will be inspired and equipped during their time together to bless these children’s lives. Pray that the Holy Spirit would be present in the training sessions and that the leaders would be able to connect with each other as well.

Update: “Last year (during the ‘I Love My City” campaign”), we rejuvenated a struggling community centre and ran a kids’ camp. This year, we returned to that community centre to not only run a kids’ camp, but a youth camp, an English camp and a sports camp! We spruced up the community centre by cutting back the bushes, mowing the lawn, and painting a wall in their main hall. We also sanded, stained and painted a nearby playground. While that was happening, we painted kids’ faces, did crafts and played soccer with them. Eight kids came to Christ at the kids’ camp and many of the teens who were at camp also came to church on Sunday! Overall, the week was a great success. We now have enough momentum to start youth ministry in Nitra. Youth Alpha will be starting up in September, and while we personally won’t be involved, I (Christina) am giving guidance to the team in Nitra based on our experience here in Sala.”

Prayer Focus: Praise God that the “I Love My City” campaign in Slovakia went well. Pray that God would continue to work in the hearts and lives of the youth and children who were involved in the camps. Pray specifically for Sisa, a girl who received Christ during the youth camp. She is receiving a lot of opposition from her family, who fear she has joined a cult. Pray that God would strengthen and encourage Sisa as well as touch the hearts and lives of her family.
