Language learning
Praise God with us for our willing language helper from West Africa. We need God’s help and motivation to study each night after work. Please pray for patience and perseverance in learning the French language.

Change of plans
At this time the country based language program in Guinea is closed. We will need to become proficient in French before we arrive. This will most likely include nine months in Québec to continue our French training.

Tech work
Daily we hear of the encouragement brought by clean water and reliable electricity, how it aids in speeding translation and literacy and makes harsh conditions more survivable. Just as often we hear of equipment damaged by lightning or humidity and even hours of work lost due to one problem or another. Please pray for us to grow in wisdom and knowledge as we learn to address these problems. Pray for the education of the missionaries, so that adequate knowledge can reduce setbacks. Pray for the Lord’s protection of the resources.

Guinea believers
Pray that the truth of God’s Word sinks in and takes hold, displacing the many false beliefs which tend to control the lives of the people in Guinea. Pray for the believers, for strength in the face of continuing persecution, for clear understanding of God’s Word, and that they would trust God to meet their daily needs.
