PRAYER WORDS 13-22 SEPTEMBER

‘All Scripture is God-breathed …’
2 Timothy 3.16 (NIV)

Can anyone thrive on anything less than all of Scripture? Thank you for praying with us so that every person gains access to all Scripture.

Together in Christ,
The Prayer Words Team

13. Cameroon: Give thanks for the success of a workshop co-led by Ian Tupper earlier this year. The workshop helped translators from various languages to identify solutions to the difficulties they face in their work.

14. Cameroon: In May, Ian mentored four participants as part of an international grammar course. Give thanks that they all made remarkable progress. For example, one from a local translation project had no previous grammar training, but, by the final day of the course, she was able to give a clear presentation on the finer points of grammar.

15. Cameroon: Pray for Katharina Tupper as she prepares a presentation for a conference in September. She is providing insights on how to accurately check the vitality of a language. Pray that God gives her understanding and helps her communicate effectively.

16. Cameroon: Give thanks with Katharina for the growing collaboration between administrators and language surveyors. Recently, an administrator introduced two language surveyors to key people from a new community and the community have received the surveyors positively.

17. Taraga State of Nigeria lies on the border of Cameroon. There are many people groups without any Scripture in this state. Pray that God’s Word spreads swiftly throughout the Taraga State and is welcomed by every people group. (2 Thes. 3.1)

18. The Abong are one of the many language groups in Taraga State that are without God’s Word. They number about 2000 and, like many in this area, they depend on the land for their livelihood. Pray that they hear Jesus’ teaching in their own language and obey.

19. Most Abong would call themselves Christians, but, without God’s Word, they struggle to know and trust God. Ask the Lord of the harvest for workers!

20. Give thanks for Keith Benn and many others who organised twelve dinners this year to celebrate Wycliffe Australia’s 70th year. Two of the final events were held in Adelaide, with over 70 people attending both dinners. Pray that the joy of all these celebrations will remain with those who were present, strengthening their commitment to the vision of Revelation 7.9-10.

21. The Matthew Drama is an immersive experience of the life of Jesus Christ. Give thanks for those who have come to Christ through this powerful retelling.

22. Pray that the next Matthew Drama, to be held in Montmorency Community Church, 21 to 22 September, will once again powerfully communicate the Good News. (Rom. 1.16)
