Praise

·      We praise God for the things accomplished—both spiritual and physical—through the recent NILI ministry trip.  You can read the entire story and see photos at www.andeanadventure.blogspot.com.

·      It was clear that God put together the recent Work & Witness team from Michigan and the Palora church in the jungle of Ecuador.  We are thankful for all the team achieved through construction and children’s ministries.  To read more, go to www.andeanadventure.blogspot.com.  Click on the “About Work & Witness” link on the right side of the screen.  From the new screen, click on the “W&W Team Stories” link to find the story.

·      The Colinas del Norte (North Hills) Church of the Nazarene is thankful for receiving a floor and roof, in part from a recent Work & Witness team from Alberta, Canada.  This recently organized church has been planted by Seminary staff and students, and has more than 100 people attending at this time.

Prayer Requests

·      Lift in prayer the five new churches being planted by our Seminary staff and students this year.

·      Please pray for a sound system for the Pisuli church in Ecuador, one of the church plants.

·      Adam Cummings, the great grandson of Al & Barbara Cummings, had the balloon procedure on his heart postponed due to a temperature.  Continue to pray for this small child.  The Cummings are NAF partners and are former Mission Corps volunteers in Ecuador and Colombia.

·      Al Wright’s mom has taken a turn for the worst in her health.  She has been in and out of the hospital struggling with pneumonia.  Now the family is making decisions about her care during these final days.  Please pray for God’s presence and guidance for the entire family.  The Wrights are former Mission Corps volunteers in Ecuador.
