1) Pray for the start of the church planting initiatives in West Africa. We officially launch the SPARC program this month. The goals are very aggressive, plant 125 new churches and reach 30,000 muslims in five years. Pray for God to bless the work, multiply the limited resources we have been able to mobilize for the effort, give unity, and courage.

2) Pray for possible growth of the SPARC program to two new countries.

3)Pray for growth of the JGP work. New seminary programs are being planned, new partnerships with other organizations are in the works, and work in new countries in the region. Pray for God to continue to provide connections with the right people, resources and wisdom on how to help connect these.

4) Pray for an initial agreement to be worked out to start to build the Balkan works.

5) Pray for the preparations for ordination of the first 20 elders for a new MB denomination in South Asia. Pray for the meetings, examination of candidates, and ordination services that are planned for early June. Pray for safety and energy as Frank will be participating in this.

6) Pray for preparations to visit China and Mongolia this fall. Pray for God to work out the details of the trip and all the folks and visas and airline schedules and such that need to come together. Pray for God to develop the relationships that need to be in place for us to help the Chinese church develop sending to the Enterprise world.
