Updates
From our missionaries: Peter & Hazel T
(Update #3 below)
Dear praying friends,
“Hi Peter, These days we are going through very difficult circumstances. One of our brothers has been arrested in the city where we are staying, and we are now in hiding. Also, our names were posted on Facebook some time ago. We ask you to pray for us and for our families. I had hoped to wait until our meeting to tell you about this, but no one knows what may happen tomorrow. Therefore, please pray for us, and ask any brothers and sisters you know to pray for us as well … being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).”
I would appreciate your prayers for Sa’id and Samy and their families, as well as the many other believers in the country … both those who have been in prison for some time now, as well as for those who are now being hunted by the authorities. This is happening because they’ve put their faith in Jesus.
UPDATE: I asked him, “Do you have people helping take care of your needs?” and he wrote back, “Yes, people are taking care of us.”
So, they are not trying to survive out on the streets, and yet they are still hiding from the authorities. When I find out more details, I will let you know. For now, thanks for continuing to pray for them.
UPDATE #2: Again, thank you for your continued prayers for Sa’id and Samy and their families. I just messaged back and forth with Sa’id and he said that he and Samy continue to lay low. He clarified that their families are not hiding with them and are safe ... it’s just the two of them that are hiding. They continue to assess the situation and trust that they will soon be reunited with their families.
UPDATE #3:
I have been assuring Sa’id and Samy that many are praying for them.
I received some encouraging news today from Sa’id. He wrote, “Thanks to everyone who is praying for us. We have good signs that soon things will get better.”
I asked him about how many believers have been in hiding and he replied that there are seven of them.
Thanks for your effective prayers for Sa’id and Samy and the others. I have no further details about the believer who was taken to prison when this whole incident started.
I have only been mentioning the Sonora translation team in these updates, but the Cibta translation team has also been affected by these events. Please continue to pray for both of these teams and their families.
Again, thanks for praying,
Peter

Mystery Club: Investigating the Truth of Jesus
Get ready for an exciting week of discovery, creativity, and fun! At Mystery Club, kids will step into the role of investigators as we explore the truth of Jesus through engaging Bible stories, real-life stories of faith, and hands-on activities.
Each day will include fun games, interactive challenges, and time to build friendships, along with a snack to keep everyone energized.
Kids will be encouraged to ask questions, think deeply, and discover how the story of Jesus connects to their own lives.
This program is designed for elementary-aged kids and offers a safe, welcoming environment where every child can belong, learn, and have a great time.
We can’t wait to investigate together!
If you have any questions about registering or the program, please contact our Director of Children's Ministry:
