Praises
· Thanks be to God for Inauguration Sunday of the 800-seat addition to the Cali, Colombia church. Around 10,000 people attended the five Sunday services, and 405 people accepted Jesus as their Savior during these services. 125 people responded to an altar call following the evening showing of the new film “From the Dark” which shares the testimony of Félix Vargas. For more information and pictures of Inauguration Sunday or about how to obtain the new film from World Missions, go to www.andeanadventure.blogspot.com.

· The Halls share that “God worked several miracles on our behalf regarding our children’s visas, and we give Him all the praise.” For the complete story of God’s grace in this situation, go to www.hallupdate.blogspot.com.

· The Zickefooses praise God that they were able to return to Venezuela to continue their missionary service on July 15th. Continue to keep Craig, Gail and the Venezuelan leaders in your prayers.

New Prayer Requests
A Life Honored: Dr. Chuck Fuselier
· Please be in prayer for the family of Dr. Chuck Fuselier who passed away suddenly this past weekend. He has been a faithful partner with and contributor to the North Andean Field for several years, and has coordinated three medical mission teams to Ecuador. Besides the love and care shared by the medical staff during these trips, literally thousands of dollars in medicines and medical supplies were donated during each trip. Dr. Chuck’s love for the Ecuadorian people and his passion to share Christ’s love through triage care was contagious. We will miss him greatly.

National Board Meeting in Venezuela
· Currently the national board meeting is being held in Venezuela with Christian Sarmiento presiding. Please pray for God’s clear direction in this meeting and for unity among the attendees.

Upcoming Intensive Classes
· Join us in prayer for the upcoming intensive classes in Venezuela and for the visiting professors, Dr. Gary and Anne Waller. The classes will be held 7/23-8/13.
