Prayer Requests

·      The Dave Clayton family, our first NILI-Professional students, are arriving on Monday, 10/13.  Please pray for God’s blessings upon their studies and their immersion experience.  They will also be serving as Mission Corps volunteers during their time in Ecuador.

·      Lift in prayer the Plan del Maestro Convention to be held in Cali, Colombia, from 10/16-19.  Pray for the leadership and attendees, for safe travels and for God’s will to be accomplished during this time.

·      Update on Alulema Family:  You will remember the tragic accident that affected various members of the Alulema family in Ecuador some weeks ago.  Fernando, the nephew who suffered a spinal injury and received surgery for that injury, is now walking on crutches.  Praise the Lord!  Vladimir, one of the sons who also suffered a spinal injury and underwent surgery, was not expected to walk; however, now he experiencing feeling in his left leg.

We appreciate so much your prayers on behalf of this family.  The parents have been back in church but the mother is having a very difficult time dealing with all that has happened to their family, including the death of their oldest son.  Let’s keep praying to our all-powerful God.
