South AmerÂiÂca

Mike & Kelli Anderson
South America
The AnderÂsons spent their first few years anaÂlyzÂing the CurÂto lanÂguage, develÂopÂing litÂerÂaÂcy mateÂriÂals, preparÂing oral Bible stoÂries, and transÂlatÂing the first ScripÂture porÂtions to proÂmote interÂest in the Gospel. Some seeds of interÂest began to grow. In 2013, there was a breakÂthrough when, through miracÂuÂlous cirÂcumÂstances, the first CurÂto famÂiÂly began to study at the Ammi TrainÂing CenÂter. Ammi is a school where indigeÂnous peoÂple from all over Brazil come to learn about God. Although the CurÂto famÂiÂly came to Ammi priÂmarÂiÂly seekÂing physÂiÂcal safeÂty, they soon found safeÂty for their souls as one-by-one the entire famÂiÂly came to know Christ. The daughÂter was the first CurÂto believÂer and she develÂoped a strong pasÂsion to see her peoÂple worÂship the one true God. The CurÂto church is growÂing despite perÂseÂcuÂtion and more new believÂers are studyÂing God’s Word at Ammi.
In 2015, Mike and KelÂli moved to the Ammi TrainÂing CenÂter and curÂrentÂly serve by teachÂing, disÂciÂpling and workÂing alongÂside these new CurÂto believÂers, as well as stuÂdents from othÂer lanÂguage groups. They also help lead misÂsion teams both going out from Ammi to local vilÂlages and receivÂing teams from the States to serve at Ammi. God is growÂing his church among the CurÂto and othÂer indigeÂnous peoÂple of Brazil. It is an excitÂing time as God is turnÂing hearts from fear of the spirÂits to faith in Christ.

SweÂden

Jesse & Krista Ashmen
Sweden
“SweÂden is so post-ChrisÂtÂian that it is pre-ChrisÂtÂian.” Upward of 90 perÂcent of the popÂuÂlaÂtion does not know Jesus as SavÂior, and many of the churchÂes are either dying or docÂtriÂnalÂly lost. More recentÂly they have creÂatÂed conÂnecÂtions and built relaÂtionÂships with many refugees that have come to the counÂtry in the past years. The AshÂmens serve as the ScanÂdiÂnaÂvian field leadÂers with EuroÂpean ChrisÂtÂian MisÂsion (ECM), and they partÂner with sevÂerÂal local churchÂes and Bible schools.
Prayer Requests:
- Praise the Lord for the spirÂiÂtuÂal awakÂenÂing this criÂsis has caused among many believers.
- Pray for the Swedish state church — that they would remain bibÂliÂcalÂly faithÂful as they are thrust into this leadÂerÂship role.
- Pray for those perÂseÂcutÂed here. Many MidÂdle EastÂern brothÂers and sisÂters conÂtinÂue to receive threats on their lives and well-being.
- Pray for the AshÂmens; pray for strength, wisÂdom, and clarÂiÂty as they navÂiÂgate the uncerÂtainÂty of such a ministry.
- Pray for their kids — Eleri, AdaÂlyn, and EvanÂgeÂline as they are being raised in the most secÂuÂlar conÂtext in the world.
Ghana, Africa

Eric & Katie Dodson
Ghana, Africa
They proÂvide supÂport in varÂiÂous ways includÂing church plantÂiÂng, misÂsionÂary trainÂing, disÂciÂpleÂship, encourÂageÂment, medÂical, clothÂing and fresh water outÂreachÂes and spreadÂing of the Gospel to the unreached peoÂple groups in Ghana and West Africa. Eric and Katie are based in Tamale Ghana but often work in remote, hard to reach areas.
Eric and Katie also are leadÂing the Bethany GlobÂal UniÂverÂsiÂty misÂsionÂary internÂship proÂgram. Ghana is one of nine interÂnaÂtionÂal sites offered by BGU. The interns are trainÂing and studyÂing to become full-time misÂsionÂarÂies to wherÂevÂer God calls them.
Prayer requests:
- For Jesus, the MesÂsiÂah, to reveal HimÂself to the MusÂlims in West Africa and that the Lord would lead us to those lookÂing for Him.
- For wisÂdom to walk out the Lord’s callÂing and assignÂment for us in Ghana and West Africa and the strength to endure.
- For Christ’s love to satÂuÂrate us and overÂflow to all those we work with, serve and minÂisÂter to. (Eph. 5:1 – 2)
- For the powÂer of God to walk in the SpirÂit and not the flesh. (Gal 5)
- For underÂstandÂing and wisÂdom to war in the spirÂit and not just work things out in our own underÂstandÂing. (Eph. 6:10 – 20)
- That God would be honÂored, gloÂriÂfied and liftÂed up in all that we say and do.
Warm Springs, OR

Brent & Lindsay Wright
Warm Springs, OR
In June of 2016, they held their first SunÂday serÂvice and WednesÂday night Bible study. Brent’s goal is to mainÂtain the examÂple of Athey Creek by teachÂing verse-by-verse through the Bible and to folÂlow the Acts 2:42 modÂel of worÂship, prayer and felÂlowÂship. Each WednesÂday night, they proÂvide dinÂner for the church (and for whoÂevÂer wanÂders by) before they open the Word to study and disÂcuss the Scriptures.
Because of abusÂes sufÂfered and freeÂdoms takÂen from the tribÂal memÂbers by past misÂsionÂarÂies in the name of ChrisÂtÂian serÂvice, a deep misÂtrust of ChrisÂtians has develÂoped. The Wrights have had the opporÂtuÂniÂty to hear some of their accuÂsaÂtions and misÂgivÂings, learn from them, and share the real love of Christ.
A word from the Wrights: ​“The reserÂvaÂtion is an area high in crime and drug and alcoÂhol abusÂes, so we have found the most ferÂtile ground to be in the jail. WeekÂly Bible studÂies with the men and women sepÂaÂrateÂly have givÂen us abunÂdant opporÂtuÂniÂties to share God’s love, truth, and mesÂsage of freeÂdom with a fruitÂful harÂvest! In the few short years we’ve been here, we have seen the Lord’s faithÂfulÂness to open doors and hearts that were closed to the Gospel and proÂvide a hunger for His Word. We feel so privÂiÂleged that God allows us to share His love and truth with these wonÂderÂful peoÂple. Our hope and prayer is that hearts will conÂtinÂue to open to Jesus through His Word, so those who are lost and broÂken will find peace and grace in Christ. We are so thankÂful for and depend on your prayers!”
OthÂer Missionaries
These misÂsionÂarÂies must remain anonyÂmous because of the counÂtries and cirÂcumÂstances in which they are servÂing. Please keep in prayer:
Tibet:
Athey Creek partÂners with a famÂiÂly servÂing in Tibet.
MidÂdle East
My stirÂring to serve in the MidÂdle East began upon readÂing the BibÂliÂcal account of IshÂmael cryÂing out to God in the desert. God heard Ishmael’s cry and proÂvidÂed a well of water to drink. Today, the descenÂdants of IshÂmael remain thirstÂing, thirsty for LivÂing Water.
Our minÂistry aims to develÂop relaÂtionÂships with MusÂlims and NomÂiÂnal ChrisÂtians. We introÂduce othÂers to worÂship the True and LivÂing God, to plant seeds of the KingÂdom of HeavÂen, to pray togethÂer to the God who hears, to share the Word of God, to share the gospel mesÂsage of Jesus the Christ, to make disÂciÂples, and to bapÂtize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Give thanks to the Lord for His graÂcious appearÂances, miracÂuÂlous healÂings, for His merÂciÂful kindÂness and His truth that conÂtinÂues to endure in this dry and desert land.
Prayer requests:
- Pray for hearts to be softÂened, and for the Lord to softÂen hearts.
- Pray for wisÂdom in sharÂing the good news, and patience unto the Lord and His timing.
- Pray for newÂly plantÂed seeds to remain growing.
- Pray for whole tribes to be saved as God is enterÂing each tribe in powÂerÂful ways!
- Pray for uniÂty in the church through Jesus the Christ.
- Pray for a humÂbleÂness of heart in a bold and wild land.
- Pray for new believÂers to be baptized.
