Prayer Requests

  • There are 41,000 Jahanka people in northern Guinea. They constitute a specialized caste of professional Muslim clerics and teachers dating back to the fifteenth century. With only 0.01% evangelical among them, they are in need of our prayers! https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/12311/GV

    Pray

  • The National Church leaders have identified 54 locations that need Tabernacles. Our desire is to construct the first 7-10 before the end of November. Pray for the funds and man power to get these first Tabs done soon. Each Tab currently cost $10,000. Pray also for us as we are looking ways to source more materials in country to bring that cost down.

    Pray

  • Matthew and Abigail are both working hard a school. Pray for wisdom, and good time management. Also pray with us that they both would hear the Lord's voice more clearly day by day.

    Pray

  • Both Joe and Cyndi have been invited to preach at local churches in the month of September. We want to be ready to do so in French. Our current level of french is basic and conversation, but we are working to grow our ability to preach and teach in it. Pray for us as we are preparing for our memories, pronunciation and for clarity in our presentations of the gospel.

    Pray

  • We will be helping our team leaders to host the first 2 short term teams from the US. Pray for all of the logistics as we prepare for their arrival. This includes housing, transport, all of the Tabernacle site prep, outreach/evangelism opportunities as well as planning for their needs and safety while in country. Everything is still new to us but God has helped us to get established and learn so much already. We know He has a plan for these teams and their time here in Guinea.

    Pray

  • Pray for us as we establish a healthy rhythm of life/work and Sabbath here.

    Pray

  • Sunday is the national vote on whether to adopt a new constitution. Pray for wisdom, safety and for the leaders and people of Guinea.

Children's Tabs
Started March 21, 2025

We need funds to build 30+ Children’s Church structures in strategic locations throughout Guinea. These structures are used for Sunday school classrooms. They can also used to create kid’s camps and hold VBS services. They will also be used for Christian schools. This is an effective strategy to reach non-Christian children as local schools do not always provide an adequate education so many families are willing to send their children to our Christian schools.
