Details: Amid COVID-19, several staff members have also had to deal with natural disasters. In El Salvador, Maltez faced the devastation of Hurricane Amanda. Having been quarantined since March, many of the markets had been shut down. Maltez has been able to pull together volunteers and resources to help over 100 families whose crops were destroyed. They are grateful for God’s provision via a family who replaced Maltez’ truck, which was destroyed in the hurricane, with a new one to help him deliver food and supplies. In Senegal, Robert and Kyla Cuthbert experienced more rain in a couple of days than they normally do for the whole rainy season. Forced out of their home for a time, they have now returned to repair the damage and help others. Please pray for these missionaries as they serve during the lockdowns that effect businesses and programs they run. Norway (Europe). Population: 5,200,079 Religion: 91.08% Christian. Church planting is a real need in a society where church membership is high but actual belief and attendance are low. Even missions traditionally focused on foreign fields see the need on the home front. Between 1996 and 2005, more than 250 new congregations were planted. The challenge is two-fold: to disciple the many nominal Christians and to reach the increasing numbers of non-Christians in Norway. Pray for many new groups of committed believers to be formed.
