A cross-section of new church planters
These new Church planters will soon be commencing evangelistic, pastoral, and discipleship nurturing among many unreached people groups and in cities where the Gospel is still neither good nor news!
Almost all who are serving presently on the fields are asking for the following:
1. Prayer for the success of their outreach in what could well be some of the hardest places yet.
2. Prayer for divine protection and provision for them and their families. That the Lord will deliver his servants from feeling frustrated and from despair.
3. Bicycles/motorcycles. Transport is very expensive and in some localities, very rare.
One bicycle costs $180, and a motorcycle varies between $1100 to $1500.
