Pastor Allen Vander Pol is a professor with MINTS International Seminary

1. Since I work with some of our more advanced students in Africa who are writing courses for MINTS, pray that I can give them clear, wise, and patient advice when I help them improve on their work.
2. Since Christians face intense persecution in places where I have worked, pray for Christians who face life-threatening persecution throughout Myanmar (Burma), and in parts of India and Nigeria.  Pray on their behalf for faithfulness to Christ and for the ability to give a clear expression of their Christian hope.
