Chad is home to more than 200 ethnic groups and over 130 languages. Yet many people still do not have access to Scripture in their own language.

This is where Jim Roberts’ ministry plays an important role. Through linguistic support, Jim assists Bible translation teams as they analyze languages, develop grammatical structures, and create the tools needed to accurately translate God’s Word.

By helping equip translators with the linguistic foundation necessary for their work, Jim is contributing to a long-term effort to make Scripture accessible to communities that have never had it in their heart language.

Pray that the Lord would continue to strengthen and guide those involved in Bible translation throughout Chad, and that many more people would one day be able to read, understand, and share God’s Word in their own language.

Please pray for believers and missionaries serving in Zambia following reports of a suspected Ebola-related case connected to travel from the DRC.

While initial rapid tests have returned negative, confirmatory testing is still underway, and health officials are proceeding with caution. At this time, 70 people in Luanshya and nearby Ndola are under 21-day daily monitoring for symptoms and temperature, though no secondary symptoms have been reported.

Several provinces, including the Copperbelt region where CMML missionaries serve, are now under heightened national surveillance. Out of caution, some ministry visits and village outreach have already been paused.

Pray for full containment, accurate and timely testing results, protection over affected communities, and wisdom for health officials and missionaries navigating this situation on the ground.

On May 9, 2026, Patrick Carder (MPH Day 7) went home to be with the Lord. He is survived by his wife, Karen Carder. Patrick Carder served in the Philippines and has been served by CMML since 2012. He was involved in evangelism, discipleship, and children’s ministry.
Pray for the family, especially, and all whose lives are impacted by the loss.

The May 2026 issue takes you to several sun-drenched communities in the Dominican Republic. There, members of CMML’s missionary care team spent time with missionaries Manuel and Carmen Medina, Ramón and Elvira Prenza, and Andre and Yanerys Walker. Read the article to discover their observations on the assembly work in the island nation.

The same issue introduces you to a bilingual Christian library in Ecuador and a new worker serving refugees in France. Also, an elder and father presents thoughts on nurturing missionaries, and CMML’s youth engagement representative reports on this year’s 26 Below retreats.

Exciting things are happening in Nimule, South Sudan through the ministry of Vasile & Dori Giulea and RMC (Reaching Mankind for Christ). Several projects are currently underway that will have a lasting impact on both the community and the spread of the Gospel.

One project is the development of a clean water source for local families. After drilling to a depth of 65 meters (215 feet), water was successfully found. The team is now completing the borehole and constructing a tower that will hold two 5,000-liter tanks — providing thousands of gallons of clean water for families in the area.

Another important project is the construction of a new 75-meter (250-foot) radio tower along with the necessary buildings to support it. Once completed, the station will be able to broadcast spiritual programs up to 16 hours a day across a much wider region. This will become a powerful tool for evangelism, biblical teaching, and encouragement for many communities.

The new tower will be a huge improvement over the current setup, which is only about 30 feet high and located in a much lower area.

Please continue praying for safety, strength, and that these efforts would open many doors for the Gospel in South Sudan.
