Let us pray for all our ServeBeyond/ServeCanada Missionaries & Agents:
Sammy Kabyemera – Uganda
Praise that Sammy has safely returned from a fruitful Uganda mission (Nov–Dec 2025). By God’s grace and your support, he ministered in church and leadership conferences, schools, families, and children’s ministries, sharing food with 158 families and clothing with 172 children and single mothers, reflecting Christ’s love (Matthew 25:35). During this time, 1,435 people heard the Gospel, 523 accepted Christ, and 96 committed to baptism, with the message also reaching Muslim communities through radio ministry. Please pray for the mission over the next six months, as we focus on reaching unreached souls in refugee camps and schools while strengthening discipleship. Plans include Bible distribution, pastor support, discipleship resources, and planting a discipleship-focused church.
Stephen & Jane Wheeler – Montréal
Pray for the new Bible Journey group that we lead at church after the morning service. Praise God that the first two sessions have been very well received. Pray for wisdom for us as we attempt to coach people to dig deeper into God’s amazing Word. Pray that we could empower them to find Scriptural answers and become less dependent on their favourite teachers to tell them what the Bible says.
Paul Yang – Eswatini Medical Partnership
The Eswatini Parliamentary Select Committee (chaired by Hon. Mamaba) is investigating financial irregularities at the Eswatini Medical Christian University. Please pray that the committee members will conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that such incidents never happen again.
Siavosh & Sophia – Ontario
Please pray for Iran with all that is going on in the country right now with the violent unrest that is causing great harm to the country. Also, please pray for our church as we go through different growing pains and joys.
Joy – Creative Access Country
Praise the Lord that everything on my trip to Egypt went well. Please continue to pray for the poor people and the Sudanese refugees in Egypt.
Helen Blackburn – Bolivia
Praise the Lord that the house has been sold. The couple will move in around the end of April. Brayan has graduated high school and I was able to attend! Hopefully, we will get English classes underway for the beginning of February. Please continue to pray for all of us, Heather, dorm parents, national workers at the support center, the boys and kids, as school and studies get underway for a New Year.
Evangelical Free Church of the Philippines
Pray for 200 new church plants and pray for 200 new church planters (perhaps the Lord will send some Canadian couples to plant churches).
Jonathan & Ashleigh Declet – Montréal
Please pray for Ashleigh as she returns to full-time French studies, for mental resilience, energy, and continued joy in this season. Pray also for Jonathan as he covers a colleague on parental leave by overseeing a distance-education center for neurodivergent teens, asking for wisdom, healthy margins, and grace in this expanded role. Please lift up developing partnerships with churches in the U.S. and Canada, praying for discernment, clear planning, and meaningful crosscultural collaboration. Finally, pray for Kodee, Marek, and Hendrick in their studies—for mental health, faith, friendships, and resilience as they prepare for exams, complete projects, and continue to grow.
Evangelical Theological College of the Philippines
Pray for these ETCP Personnel: Continue to pray for President Gabutan. The new ETCP academic Dean: Pastor Verse Cabatingan. Pastor Lowell Tallo, who will focus on the post-college degree on Transformational Leadership Program, along with President Gabutan. Pastor Walter Conson, Eklesia Bible Fellowship-EFC, will be the Dean of Students.
Children’s Shelter of Cebu
Please pray for ongoing repair works in CSC’s Duterte Home, fixing cracks from last year’s earthquake. Pray for a baby girl that was referred to CSC from the local hospital. The baby is premature, having been found on the side of the road last December. She is currently in the NICU at the Cebu City Medical Center.
