AFRICA:
The government in Malawi has declared a lockdown. One FM superintendent shares
how this lockdown is significantly affecting FM church members and pastors. Some
are not able to harvest their gardens. Those who are taxi and minibus drivers have no
work. If they previously sold vegetables, beans or grain at the local market, they are
no longer able to sell. Houses have no electricity, so there is no way to preserve the
food for extended periods. Many are suffering.
Another superintendent in Malawi reports there is no food to buy in the local
markets. If you happen to find maize, it is very costly. His prayer requests are simply:
for people to survive and for God to intervene to provide for basic needs. Please
pray for God to provide and sustain our FM brothers and sisters in Malawi.
Pastor Dosseh Takpale asks us to join in these prayers for Togo:
• Pray for Pastor Dosseh as he connects with church members on WhatsApp
three times each week.
• Pray for Christians to be close to the Lord.
• Pray the virus will not spread in Togo.
• Ask the Lord to provide food for families.
• Pray for protection for those families living in very close proximity to
neighbors.

ASIA:
Benjamin, the young son of our ICCM coordinator in Cambodia, had been
hospitalized for dengue fever. He was recently released to go home. Give thanks to
the Lord!
Asia Area Director Eric shares the quarantine situation across Asia is increasingly
difficult. Leaders indicate the needs are becoming quite urgent. Some see people
starving. Everyone is concerned about the well being of friends and neighbors
around them. Pray the Lord will provide for the physical needs of people throughout
Asia, but more importantly, pray for churches as they reach out, offering compassion
and the gospel message. Pray for open and receptive hearts.
EUROPE:
Please pray for Ukraine. Currently, they are battling COVID-19, while also battling
fires near the containment site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (location of
1986 meltdown) and armed conflict with Russia on the Eastern border. Our leaders,
Misha and Lena Petrochenko, continue to serve even through these very challenging
times.
