Prayer Request from Jeff & Deann Carter, our
partners in mission: Pray for the incoming student
body at the International Baptist Theological
Seminary in Prague. Pray also for the staff
(including Jeff) as they prepare for the year. Pray
that this will be a challenging year as well as a
year of unity in our diverse body of brothers and
sisters from across so many countries. Pray also for
the Carters as they try to resume a normal family
schedule that they left in March, when Zachary went into the hospital. Pray that
they can enjoy a “normal” fall with good health and
adventures together.

India.
I know we’ve prayed a lot for India lately, but although
things have settled down somewhat, the people still need
our prayers. The challenges that they and our partner
Associations are facing come from the Hindu groups, who
are saying “unless you are ready to become Hindu, you
will not be allowed to work or conduct business, and we
will continue to attack you.” Hardly an attitude
conducive to bridge building, but God’s word warns us to
expect opposition in His name, so let’s continue to pray
for our brothers and sisters in India, asking the Lord
to give them the strength and wisdom they need to keep
their faith strong during this time of trial.
Europe / Mediterranean. There’s good news and bad
news coming from this part of the world. Jeff Carter is
praising God for his time in Israel, giving thanks in
particular for God’s leading during his teaching and
speaking assignments in Nazareth. However, at the same
time, he asks us to pray for the Russian churches that
are coming up against a new law that is likely to expel
or disband many NGOs (non-government organizations) and
evangelical faith groups. Once again I ask you to pray
for our brothers and sisters overseas. Pray for
perseverance and patience as they wait to see what will
transpire.
Indonesia. Johnny and Paige Byrne-Mamahit ask us
to pray for Johnny’s health and safety as he travels
several times a year to the interior where he is
involved with the ministry in the isolated area of
Ketapang. Pray also for the four national families who
serve in that area. Pray that they will see fruit in
their ministry and be encouraged to continue in their
work.
These prayer requests are received weekly from Canadian
Baptist Ministries. For more information, please visit
