- Supported Worker: Johannes (& Mathapelo) Thaele
- Country: South Africa
- Details: The youth in the new church regularly reach out to people in the area by giving out clothes and preaching the good news to the lost. Please pray for God to empower them to be the hands, mouth, and feet of Jesus Christ. There are a lot of challenges in the community, such as drug abuse, alcohol addiction, separated families, crime, and young people who are already starting their families. Pray for these lost souls to be hungry for the Word of God and for their spiritual eyes to be opened as they are exposed to the love of God. Wallis and Futuna Islands (Pacific). Population: 11,194 Believers: 1.0%. More Wallisian and Futunans live in New Caledonia than live in their own home islands. Seeking work, many find themselves caught in a spiral of substance abuse instead. Pray for those in New Caledonia to find freedom in Christ and to, in turn, bring blessing back to their homeland. American Samoa (Pacific). Population: 46,029 Believers: 21.3%. American Samoa enjoys a higher economic status than Samoa to its west, but suffers the concomitant materialism. Pray that the indigenous people (and their relatives in diaspora) may find their destiny in wholehearted commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ.
