Russ & Meredith Martin - June 2024

Work with Lausanne Movement

Our major work is supporting Lausanne's Fourth Congress on World Evangelisation at Incheon, Korea 22-28 September. The congress will engage 5,000 people onsite from 200 countries and another 10,000 online through the Congress Virtual Experience.

Pray for:

• Russ as he guides the registration, operations, marketing, communication and digital strategy for the congress.

• Meredith as she directs all the creative elements for the congress.

• High capacity leaders and volunteers to join the planning and preparation efforts.

• A number of participants are struggling with the high costs of travel and getting to Korea.

• Fundraising efforts to support participants that need it.

• That Russ and Meredith would lead well amongst a complicated cross-cultural, global team and leadership environment.

• That the Congress would live out the theme of "Let the Church declare and display Christ together."

Work with Indigitous

Our major work is supporting a network of communities around the world seeking to bring the gospel to new people and places using innovative digital strategies.

Pray for:

• An event in India on June 15 calling those with talent in the digital space to fresh innovation in bringing the gospel to new people and places.

• 80 city champions to sign up for our global hackathon in October.

• Our expansion in Africa. We need fresh leadership and resourcing.

• Clarity in moving our MissionHub app forward.

Family and personal

Praise for:

• That Wyatt received a generous scholarship to a 'Tier 1' international school.

• For a surprise gift of a bird "Cheerio" for Gwenyth to care for.

• That Heath was chosen for a "select" soccer team with extra game play.

Pray for:

• Health and safety as Russ travels to the USA, Korea, India and Turkey in the next two months.

• A strong finish to the kids' school year.

• The community group we host in our home on Fridays, that deep seeds of the gospel would be sown into our lives.

• God's continued provision of financial resources for all the ministry efforts and teams and people we lead.
