April 2, 2026

Supported Worker: Johannes (& Mathapelo) Thaele
Country: South Africa
Details: Johannes and his fellow workers are busy with preparations for their Good Friday outreach. Pray for God’s favor upon the people who are leading this service and that the hearts of the people attending will be ready to accept the good news of Jesus Christ. God has opened a door for Johannes to pray weekly for the community on a radio station. Pray for the Lord to use him for his benefit as he seeks to make Christ known. Please continue to pray for the success of this summer’s VBC. Pray for a breakthrough as they face delays in areas outside of the school as well as with the principal in the host school. Nigeria (Africa). Population: 237,528,000 Believers: 30.8%. Africa and Nigeria’s greatest spiritual challenge is discipleship, not Islam, not corruption, and not even the need for missions. The church grew so fast that many new believers have little chance to be discipled. Much division and false teaching enters churches. Prosperity teaching distorts the gospel. A form of Christianity mixed with African tribal religious practices is common. Many Christians seem to live by other values than what the Bible clearly teaches. Pray that humility, simplicity, and holiness might become the motto of the Nigerian church. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
