Prayer Requests and Praises for 10/27/06

Praises:
The leadership training last week was absolutely dynamic. We thank God for his presence and direction.

Prayer Requests:
Did you know that 728 people are currently taking Nazarene courses, including extension courses being held throughout our field? Please keep these students in your prayers. Many are full-time pastors who are working toward their ordination credentials. Almost all of our students have financial constraints or other hardships. Praise God for their obedience and perseverance.

Prayer Requests from our Venezuelan leadership:

• The leadership of the Church of the Nazarene throughout Venezuela
• A new national strategy
• Our pastors and their families
• Our missionaries and their families, including our Mission Corp volunteers
• District and local presidents in the areas of NYI, NMI and education
• Craig and Gail Zickefoose on furlough in the USA

Continued Prayer Requests:
Please continue to keep the Baker family in your prayers. The motor on their new vehicle has been rebuilt but we need help to cover the $2200 cost as this was completely unexpected. If the Lord speaks to you about helping, donations may be routed through the NAF Partnership account. Please let us know by email if you send something so that we can track it. Pray also that the cumbersome process of passing inspections, getting drivers’ licenses, registering the car, etc., will go smoothly.

Pray for the recovery efforts in southern Ecuador after the last volcano eruption and for the Riobamba church as it continues to serve those in need.

Pray for the leadership throughout Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela as they seek to do God’s will in these countries.
