- In Singapore, Lifewords is taking part in a seminar on “Churches living with HIV/AIDS”. Resources on offer to attendees will include popular pastoral booklets such as Why Me? and a recent issue of Interact magazine, featuring the story of the HIV/AIDS Consultation held by the Forum of Bible Agencies last year in Nairobi. Please pray that Lifewords could be a channel to connect the Bible’s life words with those who suffer. Pray for the response of the church in Singapore to those living (and dying) with HIV/AIDS, and in need of care.
- There are plans for a special launch of The Visible Story programme in Jakarta this week, celebrating the partnership with SETIA Bible College. Pray that all those involved would have wisdom and discernment as they continue to analyse the programme in this “live research” stage.
- Onesimo, a partner to SGM Lifewords’ Pavement Project, is working with the Quipo community in the Philippines. They are encountering superstition and some fear amongst the population. Pray that the Quipo would find a deep connection with the Bible’s life words through this work.
