Pray

Jonathan and Susan Kopf minister among the Hewa people of Papua New Guinea. The Kopfs and their team built a classroom for a Christian school in the village and a home for the teachers. “We have plenty of students in [kindergarten through sixth grade], but we are lacking good educators. We only have four teachers trying to cover these seven grades, which is obviously inadequate, so please ask the Lord to quickly bless us with three more qualified teachers who have a passion to disciple children to follow Jesus. We are confident in God, our Provider, and are waiting with expectation, knowing He loves to surprise us with how He can provide for our needs in wonderful ways.

“Please also pray for the five church elders/pastors as they try to shepherd their flock.” Satan is trying to “drag people under the trap of fear that used to control them,” but the church leaders are continuing to “speak truth from the Word.” Pray for encouragement, discernment and courage for these leaders.

Eric and Judith Hedeen serve in Papua New Guinea (PNG). They are itinerant church planters with the Malaumanda people and are currently serving at PNG’s main support center. “Praise [God] that the printing of the Malaumanda New Testament is done. Twenty-six copies have been delivered to my parents in Oregon. Pray for the shipment of about 1,700 copies of the Bible that are currently enroute to PNG. Pray for the details surrounding our plan for a [small-scale] Bible dedication in early June.”

Jeff and Naomi Palmer, currently serving from the USA, minister among the K people of Asia Pacific. One K settlement, Village A, asked for believers to come teach them God’s Word. “This was the first time ... [since 2015] that another K village has been brave enough to ask to hear God’s Word. The believers decided to set up two teams of teachers that would hike down there and teach ... from Creation to Christ. ... We’re still waiting on more news, but it sounds like a good bunch of them have come to know the Lord down there in Village A. We’re thrilled to see God’s word make some significant inroads there in the K [region].”

Praise the Lord for the way He is working in Village A through the K church. Pray for the K teachers to communicate God’s Word clearly and for the people of the Village A to have a clear understanding of the gospel.
