Prayer

We are often encouraged by how many people are praying for our family and our endeavors. So, we thought we would have a tab with just updated prayer requests:


Things we Always Need Prayer For:

• Pray that the Lord would raise up hundreds of translators within our life-time so that the remaining ~200 languages in Cameroon would have access to the Scriptures. Pray that every single person in Cameroon would have access to a Bible they can understand. 
• Pray that the Lord would use our ministry to mobilize many into missions. 
• Pray that the Holy Spirit would bless his Word and cause multitudes to worship Christ. 
• Pray that the Lord would grant us remarkable intelligence as we learn languages and translate His Word. 
• Pray we would be led by, empowered by, and full of the Holy Spirit as we translate and share the Gospel. 
• Pray that all of our children would be saved young and that they would make "our ministry" their own. That our home would serve as a training center so that they can be sent out to do Kingdom work. 
• Pray that we would be characterized by this kind of love towards those inside and those outside of our home: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 
• For physical safety in Cameroon (especially on the roads) and that we'd be kept from sickness and disease. 
• That the Lord would grant us long lives so that we could see the entire Bible translated from Genesis to Revelation. 

Current Prayer Requests: As of August 2018:

Pray With Us

• Pray for our health. Please pray that the Lord would sustain our health so that we might minister to those who are sick and do the work of translation. 
• Pray for peace in Cameroon. There is both terrorism going on in the Extreme North and civil unrest in the Northwest and Southwest Regions.
• Pray that our language ability would return. Pray that we would remember the French and Bakoum we learned on our first term. 
• Pray that our family would work as a team to be able to live, stay healthy, and thrive in Africa. 
• Pray that we would be given a supernatural ability to hear and speak the tones of the language well. 
• Pray that the Lord would guide us in what to translate first (stories from the Old Testament? Gospels? etc)

Praise With Us (Aug 2018)

• That we returned to our village to find our neighbors cleaning our house and cutting our lawn in anticipation of our return (we are so blessed!)
• That we are happy to be back in Cameroon and excited to get the work started

Here is a list of people groups in Cameroon that do not have a single word of the Bible in their language. If you click on a name, it will bring up a printable prayer card for that people group. Note, the people in the pictures are not from that people group.

I created a folder (HERE) with various prayer cards including:

• Our family prayer card
• Prayer cards for each of the people groups in Cameroon that do not have any of the Scriptures in their language (note: the people in the photos are not from the tribes listed)
• Prayer cards specific to Kwakum people.

Here are the prayer cards for specific Kwakum people that I made up:
