Thank you for your prayers for the work of Langham Preaching around the world. Here are some items for prayer and thanksgiving this week.
Bolivia: from Monday to Thursday this week there is a level 3 seminar for the students in the School for Missionary Training in Bolivia. Igor writes: ‘We held the level 1 in Tarija, in the south of the country, the level 2 in Salta, Argentina, and this third level will be here in Cochabamba. Eduardo and I will be the facilitators, teaching on the prophets. Please pray for Luis and Elizabeth Romay, the directors of this traveling school, and for the 30 or so students who will be coming from Peru, Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil. Pray that they many be able to apply what they have learned from the LP events to their missionary work, to build up the churches in the region.’
Liberia: the LP team is holding a short leadership summit tomorrow and Wednesday, planning for the work next year. Please pray for country coordinator Matthew Gonkerwon and the team – for wisdom and vision as they look to the future.
Papua New Guinea: following the recent level 3 event for around 75 pastors across PNG, we have had a very encouraging report from Rosie Crowter, who writes: ‘It is so encouraging that church leaders from 20 different denominations – from the Salvation Army to Deliverance Prophetic Ministry – have been trained to study and teach the Bible. Some are already passing it on in their churches and training colleges. Three of our local preaching group plan to run courses and clubs in their own areas for the pastors and leaders. I hope that, as in 2 Timothy 2:2, they will be able to pass on what they learned, so that others too will learn to observe and think about Bible passages carefully.’ Please pray that the preaching movement will continue to extend and deepen in these various ways.
Christmas preaching: as we mentioned last week, please pray for pastors and preachers as this coming weekend they have many opportunities to proclaim the Christmas message, encouraging their churches and bringing the gospel to new audiences.
Finally, thank you for your prayers throughout 2011! We greatly appreciate your support for the growing work of Langham Preaching across the world. There will be no prayershot next week, but we resume the mailing on Monday January 2nd, 2012. Our warm good wishes for the Christmas period!
