Encouragement: Former nutrition-center students in Cambodia are now leading churches and schools. Ministry visits in South Korea, Mongolia, China, and Fiji highlighted changed lives, medical outreach, care for children, and practical help for churches. Ryan and Kim are also grateful that their daughter, Reaghan, is recovering well after emergency surgery.

Encouragement: In Rogova, Romania, students from Oak Hill Baptist Church returned to serve in a building their predecessors prayed over in 2006. The former bar became a church and MANNA Nutrition Center, now feeding 40–50 children daily. Mihaela, once a child at the center, now brings her own children there. In Tinca, Denisa also brings her son to the nutrition center where she came to faith. Father’s House completed its first licensing home visit, and Vlad Rezmer’s family continues serving in Ukraine.

Pray for: Continued Gospel ministry to children and families in Rogova and Tinca; Denisa, Mihaela, and their children; Father’s House’s second licensing visit and final training; and protection, strength, and provision for Vlad’s family and those affected by the war in Ukraine.

Encouragement: Ji reports that local pastors are receiving biblical discipleship training. At a three-day women’s training, 31 women participated and set goals to share the Gospel with 129 people and train 140 believers. A woman Ji disciples helped teach and translate, and is growing in confidence as she shares her faith.

Pray for: Faithfulness and encouragement for local pastors; spiritual growth for the women Ji is discipling; courage and wisdom as they share the Gospel and equip others; and strength for Ji during a season of transition.

Encouragement: Daniela, a graduate of the Training & Discipleship School in Colombia, began a three-month internship serving with a MANNA partner church in Santiago, Chile.

Pray for: Daniela’s remaining internship and growth in ministry; families recovering from the earthquake; strength and wisdom for local church partners coordinating relief; and continued opportunities to share the Gospel.
