Nov 2022 Prayer Needs Luke and Jessica Thek

Praise the Lord for the Ramu Valley Bible Conference that strengthened believers from 4 different language groups. We are praising the Lord that he allowed us to go and for keeping us safe on our travels there and also to Kadje.

Pray for the new believers of the Iski church (one of the churches that was at the conference). Through an outreach, a group just heard God’s word presented in their own language for the first time ever.

Praise the Lord for what God is doing in Elijah’s life. Thank you SO MUCH for praying for him.

Please continue to pray for Elijah. He got drunk recently and it was sad to see him do that, but understandable that as a possible new believer he will still be learning as he struggles with the things of this world. Pray also that when we leave in a few days there would be sufficient follow through with those we have connected Elijah with here so that he can continue to receive teaching and discipleship.

Please pray for our friends we made here who do not yet know the Lord, that God would continue to pursue their hearts and send people after us to continue to share Christ with them. Jess would like you to pray specifically for her friend Evilin whose husband has multiple women. She is starting to realize that only God has the power to change him.

Please continue to pray that we would gain fluency in the national language and culture.

Pray for the continued strengthening of our walks with the Lord as well as our marriage.

Please continue to pray that God would guide us as we get to know potential teammates we may one day partner with in going into a tribal location.
