SUMMARY:Part 4 - Together
DESCRIPTION:“Together\, we are his house\, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. We are carefully joined together in him\, becoming a holy temple for the Lord.” (Ephesians 2:20-21) \n\nWe are now doing video intros for the Prayer Guide! To watch this month’s Prayer intro\, click here. \nLet us pray for all our ServeBeyond/ServeCanada Missionaries:\nSammy Kabyemera – Uganda\nAs Sammy prepares to leave for Uganda in October to serve in mission work\, please pray for safety and good health; pray that many people will hear God’s Word\, open their hearts\, and receive salvation. Pray for faithful donors to help support the ministry. Pray that refugee families find hope; pray that church leaders accept the true doctrine of the Bible and focus on discipleship. Also\, pray that Muslim communities will encounter Christ and respond to the Gospel. \n\nScott & Karen Wind Vandenberg – Mexico\nPlease pray for Buen Samaritano as we face a significant financial need. Our available funds have been depleted\, and at this point we do not have enough to send the full amount needed to pay our faithful staff who care for the residents each day. We are deeply grateful for their commitment. Please pray for God’s provision\, trusting with us that He knows the need and will provide in His way and timing. \n\nStephen & Jane Wheeler – Montréal\nPray for alertness to new outreach opportunities in Nashville while we continue existing Canadian ministries online and by telephone. Pray for what seems like an endless string of administrative tasks related to our move from Montreal to Nashville. \n\nEFCP: Evangelical Free Church of the Philippines\nContinue to pray for President Samuel Aberia as he guides and coordinates the work of the 170 Free Churches in seven different regions. Pray for more workers to lead the several new church plants. \n\nJoy – Creative Access Country\nPraise the Lord for the fundraising for the school supplies for Egypt; I reached my goal. Please pray for the Christmas fundraising that I will start in October as the need is big. And please keep praying for the poor people in Egypt. \n\nLina and David Cheng – Japan\nPlease pray the Lord would provide for our Ministry Expense Fund in Japan. Pray the Lord brings more new moms and children to join the two events (for kids and moms) in October. May the Lord bless the three events and activities to reach out to the Chinese students and young people in Tokyo\, Japan. \n\nRobert & Leslee Oudman – Nicaragua\nAgriculture is a major force in the local economy. Pray with us for the growing season. Pray for sufficient rains and a bountiful harvest and that the Lord of the harvest be praised! Pray for our interactions with the Nicaraguan authorities – that we honour God in all we do and that people would see God through each one of our actions. \n\nJulsain Blanc – Haiti\nPray for an increase in members in the Montreal Church and wisdom and revelation to preach God’s word. And pray for mission field work in Haiti\, where we need financial support to feed the orphans every month\, and to complete the project of complex building construction. The purpose of the building is to: train new pastors and local pastors\, a library center for students\, for distributing food\, water\, and clothing\, a conference center\, and a guesthouse for missionaries. We have already completed 30% of the construction. This project is located in Cap-Haïtien\, on the north side of Haiti. Now\, we are in the process to raise funds to complete this project for Haitian churches. Pray for God to open the hearts of friends and churches to give to this cause. \n\nDan Byrne – Ottawa Evangelism Partnership\nPlease pray for Noemi and Keiden as they return to school\, and for Aiko as she considers her next steps after graduating from Concordia. Connecting Streams is seeking a new National Director\, and Dan is helping navigate interim leadership. Please pray also for expanding refugee and inner-city ministry opportunities with churches\, and for Dan as he speaks at an EFCC missions festival in Thunder Bay at the end of October. \n\nChildren’s Shelter of Cebu\nPray for protection from wildfire smoke dritiing in from Borneo\, that as it spreads over Cebu our children will be protected. For some time the mayor of Cebu had to close all the schools. The shelter also had to be shut down and children were required to wear masks. Pray that the children and staff will suffer no side effects from the smoke. \n\nArvid Olson – EFCC ServeBeyond Ambassador to the Philippines\nThanks to all of you who prayed for my recovery from the 7 weeks spent in the hospital because of a fractured pelvis. Recovery is a long road and sometimes painful process so your prayers are much appreciated. Pray for my wife Ruth also as this can be a very difficult time for her as well. \n\nEvangelical Theological College of the Philippines\nContinue to pray for the President and his team\, as they seek to develop new programs that will prepare students for ministry in the Free Church in the Philippines. Pray that the original ETCP motto will continue to give direction to future developments. The vision to see. Faith to believe. Courage to do.

SUMMARY:Part 1 - In Light of Jesus
DESCRIPTION:“He (Christ) existed before anything else\, and he holds all creation together….For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ\, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you….” (Colossians 1:17\, 19-21) \n\nWe are now doing video intros for the Prayer Guide! To watch this month’s Prayer intro\, click here. \nLet us pray for all our EFCC Districts and CAF Chaplains:\nMarvin Penner – APD Superintendent \nWe are excited to welcome our church plant\, All The Nations EFC of Wembley\, into the Alberta Parkland District. Pray for the Wembley church and Pastor Dwight Munn as they go through the steps of electing a church board and take on the full responsibilities of church life and ministry. Thank God for establishing his church in Wembley and ask that they continue to reach out in their community. This leaves the APD without an active church planting project. Pray with us as we seek to know where God will lead us to the next outreach. \n\nTim Stewart – PD Superintendent \nWe praise God for an encouraging conference in Osler\, SK! We celebrated Tim’s appointment to the DS role\, and also welcomed Calgary Disciples Church as an official member of the district. They are a growing Korean congregation that gathers west of Calgary. Please pray for wisdom as we seek to raise up new leaders and find where God is inviting us to join in His work next. \n\nDan Carlaw – CPD Superintendent \nPraise that Tabare and Yara\, the pastoral couple coming from Mexico to serve at Grace Community Church in Whitehorse\, YT\, have received all their required paperwork! Give thanks with us\, and pray for them as they settle into life in the North and begin building relationships with their new church family. Please also continue to pray for Rob and Debbie Best. Rob is serving as the part‑time interim shepherd at Sage Hills EFC in Ashcroft\, BC\, as the congregation continues its search for a full‑time pastor. \n\nCAF Chaplains\nPray for those serving as chaplains in the Canadian Armed Forces:\n• Peter Han – Esquimalt\, BC\n• Chris Willis – Shilo\, MB\n• Phil Sung – Halifax\, NS

Pray that the EFCC Engage initiative will empower churches to think\, live\, and grow missionally. \n\nShaun Wick – President \nWe have many churches experiencing growth – pray for wisdom as they deal with facility challenges and that they might shepherd the people well. We have pastors and leaders who are discouraged – pray for encouragement and protection from the enemy. Praise the Lord for the many churches who are experiencing renewal and for others who are sensing the call of God to plant a church. Praise God for a growing sense of unity and family connection among our churches! \n\nDwight Johnson – Stewardship Catalyst \nPray for ongoing visits with donors so that we will be able to finish the year strong financially.

He made peace with everything in heaven and earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you….” (Colossians 1:17\, 19-21) \n\nWe are now doing video intros for the Prayer Guide! To watch this month’s Prayer intro\, click here. \nLet us pray for all our ServeBeyond/ServeCanada Missionaries:\nSammy Kabyemera – Uganda \nSammy’s mission trip to Uganda was delayed until November due to an Ebola case involving a Congolese individual who travelled through Uganda to Kenya\, where he later died. After the 21-day incubation period and for safety measures\, Sammy hopes to proceed with the trip. Please pray for the situation to improve and for God to make a way for Sammy. If things don’t go well\, Sammy plans to send food to refugees and clothing for discipleship conferences in February 2027\, or even sooner. \n\nStephen & Jane Wheeler – Montréal \nPlease pray for God’s guidance and our participation in the mid-November gathering of “The Journey.” And please pray for our Thursday evening meetings as we continue our walk through the book of Genesis. \n\nJoy – Creative Access Country \nPlease pray for the fundraising we are doing for Christmas; this year the demand is high. Please also be continually praying for those in need in Egypt. \n\nJulsain Blanc – Haiti \nFirst\, we would like to thank God for all the blessings to the church in Montreal and the mission field in Haiti. Glory to God for all He has done for us. Pray for the next mission trip to Haiti in December. The purpose is to graduate 345 students from our Bible College in Haiti and visit our orphanages to share the love and feed the orphans. Pray for people’s hearts to be open to giving funds to the cause. \n\nLina and David – Japan \nPray for the provision of our Ministry Expense Fund. Pray for our visa renewal. Currently\, our visa is 1 year only; we need to renew every year\, and the process is complicated and expensive. We hope to get a longer-term visa of 3 or 5 years. Pray also for our faith and perseverance\, even if we can not see the fruit of the outreach program. \n\nChildren’s Shelter of Cebu – Philippines \nWildfires in Indonesia have blanketed SE Asia in a thick haze and resulted in the closure of schools and government offices. Our own school was forced to close for several days last week by order of the city government due to the smoke. Please pray that the situation with the fires and smoke will improve. One of our older residents\, a girl who is attending college\, contracted dengue and is in the hospital. Please pray for swift recovery and complete healing. \n\nDan Byrne – Ottawa Evangelism Partnership \nPlease pray for Dan as he takes on a new Power to Change leadership role\, helping ministries partner more effectively with local churches. Pray for Connecting Streams as we expand into low-income communities and refugee homes\, and for an upcoming Ottawa summit bringing church and parachurch leaders together. Pray also for Keiden and Aiko as they discern their post-university futures. \n\nScott & Karen Wind Vandenberg – Mexico \nWe praise God for His continued provision for El Buen Samaritano Seniors’ Home in Mexico. Despite ongoing financial challenges\, we have been able to meet our payroll obligations each month. We are also grateful that the home came through Tropical Storm Rachel with only minor damage. Please pray that God would open new avenues of financial support\, as we currently have no reserves to draw upon. \n\nEvangelical Free Church of the Philippines \nPray for President Ariel C. Joules as he gives leadership to over 250 churches in the Philippines. \n\nEvangelical Theological College of the Philippines \nPraise God for the completion of four generations of successful theological education and ministry. Pray that this celebration will be a very successful and meaningful time together. Pray for wisdom and guidance for President Gagutan as he gives leadership to the College.
