By November 2024, EFM had made a commitment to launch seven of the nine fields that were under exploration. Those seven fields are now moving on to the prayer and pre-launch planning phases. See more information here.
A 10:2 Prayer Trip is an annual trip to the mission fields where EFM has committed to sending missionaries. Teams are asked to pray for the soil (Matthew 13:1-23) and pray for the workers (Luke 10:2). Teams are sent or guided by sponsoring regions/yearly meetings of the new EFM fields that have been leading exploration. 10:2 Prayer Trips will target appropriate communities for prayer walking and interceding that “the Kingdom come, and God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven” in those places.
This next 10:2 Prayer Trip is taking place in Juba, South Sudan, from November 15-24. The team will be focusing on prayer in Juba Two and Kapoeta.
The team members going on this trip are: from EFC- Rwanda, Jean Paul Nsekanabo (Missions Team Chair), Nicodeme and Annonciatha Basebya with daughter Joy (approved missionary candidates) and Brad Carpenter (EFM Missionary); and from Mexico Yearly Meeting North, Samuel Vasquez (Pastor); and from the U.S., Kevin and Melissa Hoppock (EFM board member), Tony and Stacey Wheeler (EFM board member), and Matt Macy (EFM staff).
Juba Two is a fast-growing suburb of the capital city, Juba, where many refugees are returning in this peacetime era to reestablish residence in South Sudan. The South Sudan Field Study Group senses that the mission will likely launch in Juba Two. Kapoeta is a more remote town with many rural villages in the area that are unreached people following animistic traditional tribal religions. The exploration and pre-launch planning teams have had their hearts drawn to the many remote areas of South Sudan, where few have heard that Jesus loves them.
Team prayer leaders Kevin and Melissa Hoppock share these insights and prayer requests:
We are most excited about this critical moment in stewarding the movement by preparing the soil through intercession and partnership with Rwandan missionaries for the harvest to come.
- Please pray that our ears would be attuned to the Holy Spirit as he guides us to the places and people who can create the connections that will be necessary for the mission to thrive.
- We pray for favor among government officials, police, and all in authority.
- Please pray for divine protection from any political unrest, spiritual opposition, and over the health and well-being of the team.
- Pray that God gives us wisdom as we create a cross-cultural missionary team.
The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to cast out more workers into his fields.
