Cameroon, Africa

For many years, Dave and Stacey have served the Lord faithfully in Cameroon, working to translate the Bible into a new language. The Kwakum translation team’s perspective of Jesus is shifting! They used to see Jesus as someone who came to give them health and wealth. Now they are starting to see him as the one sent to crush the head of the serpent. Their translation team is translating through the book of Luke. Throughout this process, they are seeing that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies they worked to translate in years past.

Dave and Stacey’s kids started school on August 22nd after a full summer. During the summer, they tried to keep the kids productive, meaning they volunteered at an orphanage, researched colleges, studied for SATs, and made meals for the family. Kaden and Makyra are starting their junior year in high school, while Zoey and Elias are starting their sophomore year.

  • Pray for the Kwakum to treasure the riches of the gospel rather than the passing riches of the world.
  • Pray that God would bring a Great Awakening in the East Region of Cameroon.
  • Pray that the Lord would save one of their kids in 2025 and that they would make a public profession of faith in baptism.

Kailua Baptist Church // Kailua, HI

Kailua Baptist Church (KBC) exists to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ by making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything He has commanded. Former Immanuel member, Todd Morikawa, pastors there alongside a small team of other pastors and deacons. They have had several baptisms this year, and many new members; praise the Lord! 

KBC has also experienced lots of unity in the church among the members. The Lord gave unity in their efforts to start a Reformed Baptist association in the islands. The Lord has blessed their Sunday School classes and a current midweek study, which have been well attended and well received. Sadly, they have a few difficult marriages in the church and they also have a lot of facilities issues.

  • Pray for the Lord to resolve the facilities issues and provide for KBC.
  • Pray for God to heal the difficult marriages in the church. 
  • Pray that all the men in the cohort would be willing to move forward into the pastoral examination process and that God would make them qualified men.
  • Pray for God to establish a healthy church in Keane.
