Answers to Prayer
The Gospels were translated into Tokelau in 2005. Pray that this Scripture in their heart language may impact their walk with God.Challenge for Prayer
Many smaller islands have no known evangelical witness. There are evangelicals in several Pentecostal and Independent churches and small groups within the older churches.YWAM’s new base in Rarotonga could be instrumental in rejuvenating the churches of the Cook Islands and beyond. Pray for an outpouring that would see older churches revived, new churches planted and every island with the presence of active believers.For an additional 2 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
