2 Thessalonians 3:1
“Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you.”
This month we are highlighting prayer requests from the Howells and the Yocks.

Paul & Debbie Howells are long-term missionaries, serving predominantly in Mindanao. They are originally from Perth.
- Praise God for the annual men’s conference that took place a few weeks ago – it was an excellent time.
- Pray for the women’s conference coming up May 29-31 in Dulangan. Currently there are 530 ladies registered but it will probably be higher than that.
- Please pray for Debbie, Kat, Nanah and Margie who are the speakers at this conference – that they will be given great material by our Lord and this really big conference will be a huge blessing to all who attend.
- Please also pray for water for the upcoming Dulangan Conference. We have a 70,000 litre tank there now but we really need daily rain to make water a non-issue.
Peter & Katharine Yock previously served under AFES at Griffith Uni before moving to Armidale in 2025.
Thank God for:
- developing relationships in many different places: CU, church, school, extended family, the gym…
- the joys of regional life and ministry – living in closer proximity to those we are serving alongside
- that the boys are settling in well, albeit with worries surfacing at times
Pray for:
- wisdom as we adapt to a new context. For humble discernment as we listen and learn how to share the gospel in Armidale
- an increasing sense of being ‘at home’ in Armidale, especially for the boys.
- the upcoming Text for a Toastie events – 16th and 17th May
- the financial support required for our ministry to be sustainable long term
