Eric Z. continues to serve faithfully in Dubai, UAE, as he pastors Redeemer Church and oversees pastoral training at Gulf Theological Seminary. Here is an update from him on ways we can be praying for their ministry and family. 

Praise God for his continued work at Redeemer Church. We continue to see the Lord produce new believers, new leaders, and new churches, and trust him to keep causing more fruit to grow. As the UAE government makes some changes in how they relate to churches, pray that the impact of these changes will not be increased restriction but increased opportunity to preach the gospel and plant churches. Please pray for us!

• Pray for Mark A., our new church planting apprentice, to get a visa to move to the UAE for his study - he has experienced challenges and delays in the process.
• Praise God for his continued grace and provision towards our family! In summer 2025 Caroline will finish college and Randall will finish high school – pray for wise plans and providential opportunities for them and the other kids too.
• Pray for our team at Gulf Theological Seminary to be unified in our mission, and to carry out our work with love for Christ, love for each other, and love for those God has called us to serve.
• Praise God for answering our prayer for a new seminary Chief Operating Officer; pray for Dr. K. and his family to be able to raise support to join us here in the UAE by next summer.
