MISSIONARIES

- Northern African and Middle Eastern Unengaged Peoples - The Dajo people of Sudan live in the Nuba Mountains. Those mountains lie in the southern part of the country, near the border with South Sudan. That region has experienced great affliction over the years. Amid this unrest, 35,000 Dajo people live and raise their families. The struggle to provide for their families is constant. The need for education and adequate medical care is dire. Pray for the physical needs of the Dajo people to be met. Intercede for their spiritual needs. There are no Scripture resources in their language. Pray for Bible stories to be told and recorded in their Dar Fur Daju language and shared with the Dajo people. “If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction” (Psalm 119:92 ESV). May the Word of God become their delight and hope

 -Joshua & Alicia H, Elyria Church, Elyria, OH. Pray for our church and for the Black River Community Center that we have started. Pray for me as I have become the chaplain for the Elyria Fire Department.
