Praises
· We give God the praise for the work of our interns and helpers that have served in Ecuador this summer. Please remember these young people in your prayers as they have either just graduated from college or are returning to college.
· The Fischers report that God has answered prayer: “We went to Michelle's orientation at MNU and she met her roommate, Katie. They hit it off great and MOST of Michelle's anxieties are over. Katie's mother shared that they had forgotten to pray for Katie's future roommate. I told her that it was no problem because we had started praying three months ago for Michelle's roommate, and we had people all over the world praying for them. God is so good!! Thank you so much for your prayers, and please continue to pray for Michelle as she makes the adjustments to college life. --Shirley”
· Ginger Wood reports another answer to prayer: She has found a home to purchase after only 3 days of looking in a cozy neighborhood near her new school. She’s excited to see God working on her behalf.
