Prayer Foc us Prayer Foc us PHILIPPINES NORTHEAST INDIA/ HIMALAYAS OFW Kabayan Help Desk ministry in 13 regions In 2015, TNO’s OFW Kabayan ministry established help desks in 13 regions locally and 3 countries (Qatar, UAE and Bahrain in the Middle East) internationally. Also, we had reached the goal in raising awareness on the situation of the Overseas Filipino Workers that are currently in 200 countries. This year, the goal is to enter into more partnerships with Local Government Units (LGUs) and government agencies to strengthen the support and intervention for our OFWs in distress. Join us in praying for our OFW Kabayan team who are constantly travelling to the different parts of the Phlippines to conduct trainings, meet with key people and minister to distressed OFWs and their family members. Let us pray for the Lord to strengthen and anoint our team as they reach many souls for the Kingdom of God. INDIA 2015 South India Floods The Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh regions of India have been hard-hit by the flooding caused by the monsoon on November last year. Chennai, especially the area of Tambaram have been affected greatly. This is where our India country coordinator Ebenezer Johnson resides. In an email to TNO, he reported that they were severely affected and waters came inside their church and power, communications and transport came to a standstill for a few days. Because of this unexpected disaster, all his programs for the rest of 2015 got postponed and cancelled. They also needed to do a lot of relief work. Slowly, the people of Chennai are returning to their normal way of going about their daily affairs. Let us pray for Pastor Johnson, his church and all those who were affected by the floods in India. A lot of homes have been destroyed and many people in Chennai have also been displaced due to the calamity. If you are being led to give, kindly email TNO through [email protected]. SOW Module 3 and FAITH Gardening and Natural Farming Seminar in Orissa Pastor George Pega from Siliguri will conduct the final leg of the School of Workers training in Orissa, a state in East India. He will also conduct the FAITH Gardening and Natural Farming (FGNF) seminar afterwards. At the end of the seminars, there will be a graduation ceremony for those who completed the School of Workers program. Issue #9 JANUARY 2016 Praise the Lord! The Lord is truly using our School of Workers program in Northeast India. We are looking forward to hear testimonies from the graduates. Join us in praying for Pastor George, his team and the students of the SOW module, that the Lord’s anointing will flow through them as they go through this last leg of SOW training. Let us also pray for the students to become fruitful workers in the Lord’s Kingdom. MIDDLE EAST (QATAR) The Start of TNO Missions Academy in Doha, Qatar We will be launching the 5-month TNO Missions Academy in Doha, Qatar this February. Our first team consisting of five seasoned pastors will be going to Qatar on February 15. They will teach in at least 5 classes in different churches and venues until early March. Join us in praying for the successful establishment of the TNO Missions Academy in Qatar to be successful. Let us also pray for our faculty members who will travel to the country and stay there for a month, that they may be able to minister with authority and love coming from the Lord. Let us also pray for our host churches who will provide the venue and other needs for our students and faculty members to be blessed by the Lord. And of course, let us remember our students in prayer, for them to learn and experience more of God as they attend the classes. In this endeavor, we are relying on the Lord’s power and to provide all our needs to raise up one million (1M) OFW missionaries before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Reaching out to Asia and beyond “But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them.
