It’s happening March 1, 2025 11:30am – March 2, 2025 12:30pm ACDT. Here are some more details.

30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World
30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World started today. For the next 30 days people from around the world will be praying for transformation to come to the Muslim World, during their month of Ramadan.
The most loving thing that we can do for Muslims around the world is to pray that they would be transformed by Christ. Every year Muslim’s are confronted by dreams, visions, and more during the month of Ramadan, and we pray that this would happen again this year.
You can get daily updates and guides for your prayer on their Facebook, Instagram, or X page, as well as at pray30days.org.

Vanuatu Earthquake Special Appeal
We have shared a few stories with you since Vanuatu has hit by a 7.3 magnitude earthquake in December. Earlier this month unfortunately Vanuatu was impacted by another earthquake that compounded the damage done back in December.
Over 50 community (village) water tanks have been damaged due to earth movement and landslides, leaving thousands of families without access to clean drinking water and increasing the risk of waterborne diseases.
Australian Mercy is working with Pasifik Village Development to restore essential water supply and rebuild hope in the villages. When they inspected the villages that they have served over the years they found that most water supplies have been compromised. To serve the villages they will be working in three ways.
- Provide emergency water supplies
- Support community-led water restoration efforts
- Repair or replace earthquake damaged water tanks.
The earthquake caused significant damage to the roads and access to the villages, so a reliable 4WD vehicle to deliver water, teams and tank repair supplies into the outlying villages is the most significant tangible need right now. The dry season is less than six-months away, so the need is urgent.
If you head over to australianmercy.org you can find out how you can give towards the purchase of a second hand 4×4 vehicle, and towards the 50 water tank repairs that are needed.

Business as Mission
If you have ever wanted to know more about Business as Mission, YWAM Nelson is putting on a 5-day Seminar exploring the role of business in missions and its biblical foundation.
The teaching will cover what Business as Mission is and is not. What strategic role does it play in missions today, especially amongst the least reached? How is it being used in YWAM? What are some historical examples of BAM and what can be learned from them? What are some BAM best practices? They will also contrast aid-based development vs Business based development. At the end of the seminar, students will gain a better understanding of the BAM movement and its strategic role in world missions.
The seminar will be running from 7 – 11 April, and you head to ywamnelson.co.nz to find out more.
