Special Challenges:
The publishing group in South Africa serves as a base of operation for work throughout the African continent. The current challenges are to obtain funding, establish translation and printing processes, and cultivate indigenous writers in order to publish editions there in English, French, Portuguese, Arabic, and Hausa.

Prayer Requests:
Pray for insight and wisdom for those building the business plan for these editions and for the editors, translators, and writers to offer their expertise to help in this work.

Outreach Ministries:
Use The Upper Room as a part of a mission trip, or as year-round outreach to communities with which a local church has a relationship. Allow two months for delivery of copies to the location being served. For more information and pricing, contact specialservices@upperroom.org.
