We thank God for the new year. We know that we need Him more than ever and so we come to Him in prayer and invite you to join us. You can place your prayer requests in the comments area so we can pray with you too. Here are some items of prayer from our end;

• Violence erupted around the country on the 4th of January, 2008 following the replacement of one minister of state by the president, Lansana Conte. January last year, violent demonstrations led to a broad based government led by a prime minister, and leaving the President as head of state. This act by him is considered as interfering beyond his powers and unacceptable. Please pray that violence and innocent deaths will be avoided at al cost.
• Though the violence was short-lived, Trade Unions have threatened to embark on an indefinite strike from the 10^th of January 2008 if the decree sacking the minister is not reprieved. Please pray that the leaders will find a quick and amicable solution to all this political mess.
• We have been looking for new housing for the past three months. We are hampered by various conditions including cost, heavy advance demand and religious affiliation. Please pray with us that we will have a break through very quickly.
• Please pray with us that our funding will improve greatly. We presently receive only 30% of our required budget. Please pray that God will bless our friends and brethren so they can give willingly and sufficiently to the cause of the gospel in Guinea.
• We thank God for the support received so far to buy a vehicle. We targeted US$5000 and still have US$4000 to raise. Please join us as we pray that God will bless this venture speedily.
• Pray for the ministry of Pioneers in Guinea. Pray for our teammates, David and his wife Billie. Pray for team synergy, pray for sensitivity to God’s Spirit and direction, pray for courage and humility, pray for obedience and accountability and finally pray for the team’s safety and well being on a daily basis.

Thank you for praying and do not forget to place your requests in the comments area so we can also join you in prayer. Just click on comments and you will be led to the comments box. God bless your new year like never.

Yours on bended knees.
