Global PrayerGram, November 1990

November 1990 DOMINICAN REPUBLIC (island southeast of Cuba). Missionaries Glenn and Cindy Graves write, “We thank each of you for your prayers. We are convinced more than ever that without your prayer support for us we could not continue to work. Life outside of one’s cultural ‘womb’ is very challenging, exhausting and difficult. The work itself is uplifting and filled to the brim with anticipation. Thank you for your prayers for our endurance, our good health and our further reliance upon the strength of God as we realize more than ever our strength is not sufficient.” REQUESTS AND REPORTS EQUATORIAL GUINEA (western Africa). Missionary Lucy Driggers teaches embroidery, cooking, health and Bible studies to two ladies’ classes.

Missionary Betty Barham reports the same people who have been fed the past four out of five years soon will be hungry again. This food shortage is due par¬ tially to lack of rain but more closely related to crop damage from war in the area. The staple food for these people is grain. When there are no crops of grain, there is no food and hunger is inevitable. Pray for ways to provide for those affected. SOUTH KOREA (eastern Asia). Pray for the Man Min Bap¬ tist Church in Pusan and for Pastor Kang as he helps this church grow in the midst of a Buddhist stronghold.
