Dear Praying Friends of TTC,

We have wonderful news for you today: Scott will be traveling to Africa in less than a week’s time!

Zimbabwe (blue) and Tanzania (green)
Scott’s first stop will be the south African country of Zimbabwe where he will hold three 2-day pastors seminars over ten days. His coordinator in Zimbabwe is Pastor Rose.

Pastor Rose leads her own church, runs her husband’s business, and coordinates women’s ministry for a network of over fifty churches
Then Scott will travel on to Tanzania for 22 days where he will hold five 2-day pastors seminars. His coordinator in Tanzania is Pastor Raphael.

Pastor Raphael leads his own church and teaches in a Bible school
Both Rose and Raphael have been part of Scott’s Africa online Disciple-Makers group for more than six months now. They both are busy gathering pastors and making arrangements to prepare for Scott’s coming. This will be his first time to hold pastors seminars in Zimbabwe and Tanzania.

That is exciting news, but it is also a call to arms. A number of things have happened to make it clear that the forces of darkness are already actively opposing God’s plan, so we need your prayers! Although life has gone back to (something somewhat like) normal for many of us in the U.S., our world is still in the grip of a global pandemic, and in developing nations like Zimbabwe and Tanzania, conditions can change dramatically in just a few days.

Pastor Rose’s husband died from COVID last December, and many, many other pastors in Africa have similarly succumbed to the disease. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but we are aware that we have an adversary who prowls around seeking whom he may devour. That’s why we are calling on our prayer warriors to provide “air support” for Scott as he heads into this spiritual battle.

As you pray, please rejoice with us and thank God for…

1. Continuing to open doors for Scott to raise disciple-makers in other nations!
2. His abundant provision of nearly all the funds needed to cover the budget for this trip!

Today’s Prayer Requests:

1. God to give Pastor Rose and Pastor Raphael discernment and favor as they prepare for Scott’s seminars.
2. God to be a shield around Scott and cause any weapon formed against him to be destroyed.
3. Pastors’ marriages to be healed and restored.
4. God to expand the disciple-makers network throughout Zimbabwe and Tanzania.

THANK YOU for standing with us in prayer! As you do, we will be…

Planting Trees,
Scott, Patty and the Whole TTC Team
