Supported Worker: Emily (& Blake) Ackerson
Country: Australia
Details: Emily and Blake are thankful for our prayers for the local church that is starting an international students’ ministry at a new campus. The church is planning monthly gatherings for the hundreds of internationals who live in apartments next door. Pray for them as they seek to share the gospel with the students. As the end of the year approaches, the Bridges team is looking ahead. Pray that God will guide their planning and keep them unified. Thank God that Emily is making great progress in her recovery. Their daughter, Addie, has a follow-up appointment with her renal doctor to determine the next steps regarding her kidney. Pray for protection and wisdom. Bangladesh (Asia). Population: 174,701,211 Believers: 0.4%. Pray for leadership for the churches. Earlier movements brought thousands of people into the Church. But the lack of trained, godly leadership eventually left many believers with a weak and shallow faith. Poverty limits the number of full-time ministers and theological students, but churches also lack spiritually mature lay leaders. In Bangladesh, as in any nation, robust discipleship processes would go a long way to solving these challenges. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
