Praises
· Thank you for your prayers on behalf of the leadership and pastor meetings in Venezuela. After two long pastors’ meetings and some intense discussions, we gathered for the District Assembly in the Andino District. God answered our prayers with a time of restoration led by the district NYI President. The pastors of the district gathered around and prayed for District Superintendent Rodolfo Camargo. Rodolfo and some members of the local church were involved in a car accident on their way to the Assembly. When Rodolfo got out of his car to inspect the damage and talk about a settlement with the driver of the other car, a third car ran over his foot. Praise the Lord, he had no injuries. The accident should have been a lot worse with the speed and size of the other car. We thank God for his protection for Rodolfo and the others that were in the car with him.

· We received the following prayer request from Pastor Tim Mondy (Illinois District): “I have a 6-year-old nephew that was diagnosed with brain cancer on Nov. 3, 2006. He underwent emergency surgery to remove the tumor on Nov. 4th, 2006. Since then he has undergone 6 weeks of chemo and radiation and on Feb.23rd he will have a second surgery to remove the tumor that remained on Nov. 4th. We are asking people around the world to pray for him and we have set up a website to let people stay in contact as this ordeal progresses. We are trying to get prayer coverage in all 50 states and as many countries around the world as possible . . . . Please stop by his website, sign his guestbook and let him know you are praying (www.caringbridge.org/visit/ryanmondy). Doctors stand amazed at Ryan's progress to this point and even they attribute it to the prayers of the people. We covet any and all prayers and it really lifts the family's spirits when they read the comments left in the guestbook.
