Papua New Guinea:
Menya tribe: Tuberculosis has been a major cause for a very high death rate among the Menya people. A local hospital has asked the missionary team to help administer medicine, but because of the Menyas' beliefs about sickness, few people seek medical treatment and when they do, very few finish it. Please pray that the missionary team will be able to build good relationships with the Menyas and that those who are ill will receive treatment and finish it.

Panama:
Kuna tribe: Please pray for Kuna believers who are facing intense pressure to participate in drinking ceremonies. They are being accused, questioned, threatened and fined for their non-participation, but continue to walk in obedience to Christ.

Paraguay:
Sanapaná tribe: Missionary John Stucky and his Sanapaná co-worker, Regino, are working this week with a skilled Bible translator, Paul Cheshire, to check about 700 verses in the Sanapaná translation. Please pray that the team will have wisdom as they determine whether the translation is clearly communicating God's Word to the Sanapaná people.
