Latest Prayer Updates:
Students –past, present, and future
Chadian Arabs: Please pray for Centre in Chad as visa challenges create uncertainty about the programs. Pray that we would trust in the Lord’s sovereign rule over these obstacles, knowing He is not limited by them. Lift up the students—past, present, and future—that their hearts would be open to the truth they have encounter in the Word and believe the Good News. Pray especially for the current New Testament class as they work to finish their readings before the teacher’s visa expires. Ask that they would clearly understand the gospel and respond with surrendered lives to Christ.
Questions about the Trinity
Chadian Arabs: Praise God for a meaningful panel discussion held during the final S2 class, where students engaged thoughtfully with questions about the Trinity. The conversation sparked interest and deeper reflection among the eight students present. Each of them now has access to God’s Word, creating opportunities for continued learning and growth. Pray that they would remain motivated to keep reading, studying, and seeking truth beyond the classroom.
