Praise

·      We praise God for the outpouring of His Spirit on the joint worship service for the Sierra North District in Ecuador last Sunday.  It was a powerful time of celebration, preaching and united prayer with over 1500 people participating.  For a complete story and photos, go to www. andeanadventure.blogspot.com.

·      Luis Meza, Jr., has been granted his VISA in order to attend college in the States.  He hopes to start in February but needs certain matters of finance to come together in order for him to attend.

Prayer Requests

·      Update on Rev. Freddy Guerrero (Seminary Rector):  He was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday evening with severe abdominal pains.  He has undergone numerous tests without the doctors determining the cause.  The big intestine has severe inflammation.  Doctors want to do exploratory surgery but neither Freddy nor his wife, Grace, want to do that.  This morning at 4 am Freddy began to feel some relief.  This afternoon they removed the tubes from his nose and mouth.  He has been able to drink water with normal urination.  They hope to feed him some solid food this evening, as he has not eaten for 4 days.  If Freddy is well enough, he could return home tomorrow and then return on Monday for more testing.  Late this afternoon his stomach was feeling tight again so let's keep praying.  We believe God is making a difference.

·      Lift in prayer Pastor Carols Munoz who is having major surgery on 9/21.  He pastors one of our largest churches in Colombia and is one of our early leaders in the Nazarene church in that country.

·      Two weeks ago Stan Hall fell about 20 feet and landed on his back which bruised his lung and caused a large hematoma on his back.  He continues to have complications with this injury.  We are praying that he will heal quickly and will be able to return to his normal work schedule soon.
