Pray for Emerson and Ivy Wu serving as the Co-Coordinators of the Global Chinese Mission for International Ministries based in Hong Kong.

The Rev. Ivy and Emerson Wu work with their IM area director to establish a network of global Chinese churches and Christian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) through which the network members will develop and implement common strategic missions. They also represent IM in relating to church and NGO partners in Hong Kong.

Pray for Carlos Bonilla and Mayra Giovanetti ministering in Columbia in discipleship formation and training in churches.

Carlos Bonilla and Mayra Giovanetti, “the BGs,” have been used by God in discipleship formation and training in churches in Chile, Spain and Nicaragua. UNIBAUTISTA has invited them to continue this work with ethnic groups in one of the most neglected areas of Colombia, the Guajira Northern Region. The BGs have been long-term global servants since 2000 through International Ministries.
They write – And, just like that, our first year in Colombia has been completed! Praise the Lord and thanks for your partnership…
In April we made our first trip to Cúcuta to learn of the situation of so many migrants from Venezuela into our country. …
In July we made our second trip; this time bringing our area director and the global consultant for immigration and refugees with us. Adalia and Ray joined us on a journey through the Humanitarian Network for Migrants from Cúcuta to Tunja. As we saw them and the shelters along the way, we realized as Luis and Johana have, that the current 14 shelters and stations are not enough for the many who are traveling daily. The ladies of FBC of Cúcuta are embarking on a new endeavor of sewing hooded blankets in all sizes for those who come from very warm weather and face the bitter cold of the Berlin Plateau.
Many have frozen to death in their quest for freedom and safety! It can take them almost a full day on foot to get from Cúcuta to Pamplona, … See why we need to pray and seek resources for more Humanitarian Network shelters along the way? Along with food, a shower, and a couple of hours of [sleep] they are provided spiritual nourishment that is what will last the longest. Let living water flow to these migrants providing them hope and dignity! …
Immediately after that trip to Cúcuta, we had the week-long Global Baptist Peace Conference in Cali, Colombia. Siblings from Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Oceania (more than 30 countries in total), were present for this event …
Summer is almost over, and we were blessed to have a full house throughout our hectic schedule. Now the older children return to their studies in the USA and the younger one continues her high school homeschooling studies. Let living water flow with wisdom, intelligence, and determination in this new academic year for them and us all.

Preparation for the Journey

We recently had the opportunity to visit a special cemetery in Szatmárcseke, Hungary. The cemetery is like a harbor full of boats ready to depart for their next destination.
