Prayer

South Africa – Marlon Govender

Please give thanks to the Lord for the opportunity for me to go into Leeuwkop Prison in Bryanston, Johannesburg, meet with the Religious Care Coordinator, discuss ECS, and then meet with many different prisoners. I also had the opportunity of meeting Edward Smith an inmate who co-ordinates ECS courses in Medium C. I have been invited to preach to at least 120 prisoners on Sunday, May 5, 2013, and thereafter to host a short workshop on ECS courses. Pray for wisdom and strength to share the gospel and promote ECS effectively.

Bible Book Challenge

Pray for the ECS Ministries graders as the final exams are coming in for grading. It is a great time of encouragement to see how God has blessed the participants of this year’s Challenge, but the additional grading adds a strain to the workload.

Pray for the Bible Book Challenge participants that they would have patience as they wait on final scores and certificates, and that the fruit of the Spirit of God would be evident in their lives.

Bangladesh – Asai Tripura

Please pray for us in Bangladesh. Because of strikes, we cannot maintain our schedule, programs, or activities. We cannot send materials to the students in time, cannot visit regularly, and are not getting back courses from the students. We are now at terrible situation. Please pray for our country, government, leaders, and people.

Serbia - Vladimir Majersky

Pray for the preparation of five additional ECS titles to be added to their curriculum. Editing is in process.
