On June 4, 2019, we had the privilege of hosting Pastor Ishtiaq Samuel Gill, a third generation preacher born and raised in Pakistan and currently serving in Cape Town, South Africa. As a Christian in America, we often speak of persecution, but the reality is that very few of us will suffer or die for our faith as we enjoy the freedom to worship freely that many countries throughout the world do not. Pastor Gill's testimony and message from God' Word was powerful, inspiring, and challenging. Let us continue to raise Pastor Gill in prayer as he returns to Cape Town to continue his ministry serving the congregation at Revival Fellowship Full Gospel Church of God and Samuel Welfare and Mission Society which reaches out and serves the abandoned and orphaned children in South Africa.

HELP US PRAY FOR OUR MISSIONARIES!
In 2016, two of our missionary families gave updates on their ministries - the Woodrings (Dominican Republic) and the Urichs (Ireland). Their visits were a great encouragement. But now that they have gone, we have a responsibility. Both asked for prayer as they enter their new mission fields. Romans 15:30 urges us to become prayer partners with those in ministry, supporting them in prayer as they strive to send God's Word abroad to those who are lost.
What can I pray for? Wycliffe Associates published these biblically sound prayer principles:
(1) Pray for open doors (Colossians 4:2-3)
(2) Pray for boldness in witness (Ephesians 6:19)
(3) Pray their ministry and that God's Word will spread (2 Thessalonians 3:1)
(4) Pray for protection (2 Thessalonians 3:2; 2 Corinthians 1:11)
(5) Pray for guidance (Colossians 1:9)
(6) Pray for refreshment (Colossians 1:11)
