Cyclone and cholera season



Pray for Pastor Simoes and Pastor Campama of the Lomwe Bible Translation project during their trip to the capital, Maputo, to attend a Bible Society seminar on using computer software. Pray the skills and confidence gained will benefit the Lomwe Bible translation. Pray for their families at home. A huge cyclone is expected to hit the coast of northern Mozambique in the next few days. Torrential rains and several cyclones have already hit. 
Pray for the Pastor’s Book Set project: a plan for mentoring PROFORTE Bible school teachers and extending to their networks of alumni and partner churches, using the African Bible Commentary. Pray for planning for the several year timeframe and for funding for the costs involved. Pray that the Lord will guide as we work with PROFORTE to develop Bible schools and train leaders.
Pray also for the Bible story book we hope to print in Lomwe (LOM-way) which will be the first Bible many of the one and a half million people ever see. Pray for funding and for the hours involved in translating and formatting before printing. Pray the Lord will bless the Bible translation and also this Bible story book, so people can read and understand His Word.
Pray for our mission SIM (Serving in Mission) which works in over 50 countries around the world, sending people from 40 countries. SIM’s International Council which meets every three years, will be held in Lima, Peru this month. Stuart is representing southern Africa. Pray for the Lord’s wisdom for each of the people attending and for His directing the work of SIM around the world.
