Praises

• We praise God for the work accomplished last week by the Eldon, Missouri, Work & Witness team.  They came with many skilled workers who built and welded new desks and other furniture, painted, installed new lights, and built a new classroom.  They also touched many lives through their generous spirits and enthusiasm.

Prayer Requests

• Over the last several months several portable chapels have been built and delivered to new congregations throughout Ecuador.  Please pray that these believers will grow in their faith and their churches will grow in size.
• Several missionaries and their children will be traveling throughout the Christmas season.  Pray for traveling safety.

Prayer Requests

• Kim Haddon, Mission Corps volunteer who serves in Venezuela, is currently in Oregon to work for 2 months as a substitute teacher to raise funds and to spend time with her family.  Kim writes, “I praise the Lord for providing a substitute opportunity in January.  I will be substituting for a teacher who is going to Argentina to be a part of Extreme Nazarene, so even while I’m home raising my support, I am still supporting missionary efforts in SAM.  It is amazing how God works!  While I’m not surprised THAT God takes care of me, I’m surprised at HOW He takes care of me.  Please pray that I will work as many days as the Lord wills, and that I will make the most of my time at home.”
