Global praise reports and prayer requests

Global Ministry Center

Recent praise reports and prayer requests from NCN News, Nazarene Missions International, and JESUS Film Harvest Partners include:

PRAISES

JESUS Film - Haiti
"I never wanted to go to church," shared a young Haitian girl. "I was always mad at every believer of Jesus I saw, even though I didn't know why. One night, I was lying in bed and could hear someone preaching. It sounded like they were talking only with me. After, I decided to go find them and accept Jesus. From that moment, I have been set free!"

JESUS Film - Malawi
"Andrew spent much of his life in beer halls," shared a team leader in Malawi. "Yet when we came with the JESUS film, he confessed his sins, accepted Christ, and was truly grateful his life had been changed. Now, he and his whole family are followers of Christ and attend church."

JESUS Film - Pakistan
"Drugs were destroying my life," Ilyas in Pakistan shared. "I did not know Jesus. Yet, the JESUS film showed me who He is, and what He can do for me. He really is my Savior, and I promise to leave my drugs behind."


PRAYER REQUESTS

Oklahoma tornado
Several tornadoes touched down near Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Wednesday night. At least one person was killed and dozens were injured. More than a thousand structures were damaged, including the Moore Church of the Nazarene, where the steeple was ripped from the building again. The church also lost the steeple in the 2013 Moore tornado. 

"Of course, it's disheartening," Moore Pastor Rick West told The Tulsa World. "Seems like this area is ripe for tornadoes to develop. People say, 'Why don't you move?' But this is home. You want to rebuild and keep going. Church is more than a building."

The Northeast Oklahoma District reported all churches, pastors, and members were safe after the storms.

Request from Mexico Oaxaca District
Mexico Oaxaca District Superintendent Aner Ruiz requested prayer for the city of Matias Romero. He reported the area is closed in by road blocks, kidnapping, and assaults.

"Matias Romero has been besieged since Monday," he said.


HEALTH-RELATED REQUESTS

District superintendent's son
Papua New Guinea South Coast District Superintendent Ako and his wife, Lilly, request prayer for their 7-year-old son, Ozka, who has been dealing with the lasting effects of a previous illness. They have been back and forth to the hospital several times.
