Hands for Vietnam is a nonprofit based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, that provides sign language training and resources for Deaf people and their communities in Central Vietnam. It believes every Deaf person was created with purpose and value, in a culture where deaf people have often been seen as less capable and as burdens to their families. Many deaf adults there cannot read or write, few deaf students continue school past 5th grade, and trained interpreters are scarce. The ministry’s work includes early intervention, sign language and interpreter training, education, family advocacy, Deaf awareness and outreach to deaf people in rural areas. Each June it helps host a summer camp for Deaf students from three schools in the region, including Central Deaf Services in Da Nang.

Please pray for:

• An outpouring of the Holy Spirit among the deaf community in Central Vietnam
• The Gospel message will be clearly communicated, understood, and received
• The education center to be able to reach out to the deaf community and establish a safe space

Another partner is the Presbytery of East Africa, a network of more than 110 churches that owns the orphan homes, schools and churches the ministry builds. People can get involved through child sponsorships and mission trips to Uganda, and the ministry is building a long-term education fund for the children.

Its main ministry is the Timothy Logos Center, a two-year Bible college for pastors and church leaders, along with Bible clubs and discipleship groups.

In La Carpio, Costa Rica, the age at which abuse is detected is notably lower than in many other areas, with cases identified in children as young as three years old. In response to this urgent need, Matthew 19:14 Ministries established Seeds of Light.

Beginning in the summer of 2023, Matthew 19:14 Ministries started a pilot program serving 13 children between the ages of 3 and 5. Since then, this full-day program operates three days per week, providing a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. Each child receives three nutritious meals daily, participates in hands-on learning activities, enjoys playtime and rest, and is protected from the dangers present in their surroundings. The program quickly grew to 35 children, and they outgrew the building we were in. All the children are introduced to the love of Jesus, offering them hope, healing, and a strong foundation for their future. Many have now professed Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Please pray for:

• Resources to hire 3 new teachers and take on 35 new children
• Protection over the staff and children
• Parents to participate in weekly Bible studies and have a deep hunger for Jesus

Mission Discovery organizes five to ten day short term mission trips for youth, adult, and family groups. They handle the logistical details so that you can focus on serving. Teams will be involved in vital construction projects along with outreach opportunities to communicate the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Mission Discovery trips aim to help developing communities.

The Mission Discovery staff arranges food, lodging, and logistics so volunteers will be effective from day one. Each night they offer a worship service to provide an atmosphere to come together and reflect on what the volunteers have experienced during the day.

Nathan and Lynna are missionaries working with Greater Europe Mission in Austria alongside the Bund Evangelikaler Gemeinden in Österreich. Nathan works with local musicians to help strengthen indigenous peoples throughout Europe to write and record their songs in their heart languages. Lynna is passionate about serving refugees and is connected to a ministry that serves the largest refugee camp in Austria.

• Pray for hearts to be open to Jesus and not the idolatry of Catholic tradition.
• For Christ to strengthen and unify the churches in Austria.
• For Holy Spirit fullness to help them share the gospel with the poor and needy as well as the rich and independent.

There are people who, simply because of where they were born, will never have the chance at the same life many of us in the developed world enjoy. A life where their children can go to school, where they can get medical care, where they can get help when disaster strikes, where they can experience the love of Jesus.

Millions of people around the world live cut-off from all this and more by either geographic barriers—like jungles, mountains, and deserts—or by social, political, or religious barriers.
