ROCK Resources

  • Central Asia: “3 days ago our team gave the entire Afghani national soccer team YOUR STORY booklets in Pashto and Dari. Pray for them to read them and for God to cause His Word to penetrate their souls.”
  • North Carolina: Received a list from Trans World Radio of 64 languages in which they are either broadcasting or translating The WAY of RIGHTEOUSNESS radio series. Praise God for how TWR is extending TWOR’s reach!
  • South Carolina: From a former tribal missionary to Mexico teaching intercultural missions locally: “This fall we will be heading up a Sunday School-type class on the movie and book KING of GLORY which presents the Word of God from ‘cover to cover.’ The movie, in 55 languages, mirrors how we teach people in tribal locations who have no knowledge of the Bible and no foundation to understand the good news of Christ and His salvation.”
  • Sahara Region: “We are targeting a city in the East for a 3-day evangelization campaign in December. This city is a kind of Islamic capital and a very strategic place. We plan to have at least 1,000 micro-SD cards with the KoG movie distributed in the city during the campaign. Pray.”

ROCKids

  • Haiti: In this hurting nation, ROCK has equipped a faithful Haitian believer with a solar-chargeable projection system. Pray for protection, provision, and impact as the Creole KoG is shown in many (some dangerous) places.
  • Senegal: Pray for believers in the villages. Pray for the kids’ and older youth who love the basketball training programs. Pray for open minds and hearts regarding the gospel. Pray that their parents will ask questions too.
  • Tanzania: “Much has happened at Tumaini Jipya (New Hope) Secondary School. While the girls were away on break, a construction crew worked on the next classroom block, built a wall behind the dorm (to better protect the students at night), constructed a slab where the girls can wash their clothes, and completed the chicken house. Since their return, the girls have taken practice exams to simulate the national exam context and get a measure of how they are doing against girls from another school. Several students did well, but those behind in English still struggled. The teachers are coming up with strategies to help the girls who are behind….” Pray.
  • Niger: From a ROCK-project-connected worker (following last month’s military coup): “Pray for wisdom. Pray the church would act with Christ’s love. Pray for joy in trials. Through all this, what an encouragement to know that our Sovereign God was not surprised by any of this, and He knows the events of tomorrow! ‘The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us!’ (Psalm 46:6).”
