Supported Worker: Wes & Nancy Collins
Countries: Guatemala, United States of America
Details: Pray for the faithful use of the Scriptures that have been translated into people’s heart language and for ongoing Scripture translation projects. Many of those involved in translating are dealing with health issues and other struggles. There is excitement for having the whole Bible in the Mam language in the Comitancillo area of Guatemala. Pray that this excitement will continue and that their leadership will be faithful in holding celebrations for this whole Bible completion in other areas of Guatemala. As the Scriptures spread across the land, pray for the Mam people to grow in their faith and for the growth of godly churches as well. Continue to pray for Wes and for his family as they care for him in his journey with Parkinson’s and dementia. Nigeria (Africa). Population: 237,527,782 Believers: 30.8%. Africa and Nigeria’s greatest spiritual challenge is discipleship, not Islam, not corruption, and not even the need for missions. The church grew so fast that many new believers have little chance to be discipled. Much division and false teaching enters churches. Prosperity teaching distorts the gospel. A form of Christianity mixed with African tribal religious practices is common. Many Christians seem to live by other values than what the Bible clearly teaches. Pray that humility, simplicity, and holiness might become the motto of the Nigerian church. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
