Let’s Pray For Csaba & Ilona Veres, global mission workers, Hungary
Give thanks that the purchase of the property in Vinceller Street, Bodaszőlő has been finalised. Pray for the engagement of the parent-church at Kalvin Square, for their focused prayer and generous hearts of love and service for the community in Bodaszőlő. Remember especially the Kalvin Square Building Committee as they plan renovations. Continue to pray for the services, Bible studies, women’s group, youth group and the monthly messy church event in December, that there would be rootedness in the Word and in prayer.  

Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP), Zambia Synod
Pray for the day-to-day work and future development of the Synod’s Early Childhood Development Programme. Remember Mabuchi Dokowe, currently serving as the Community Schools Coordinator, but recently appointed as Acting Early Childhood Development Coordinator. Pray that Mabuchi would be granted much grace and wisdom to focus on this new sphere of responsibility in addition to her existing heavy workload.
