·     Last week we prayed for Pastor Milton & Gina Mateus and their five children who were recently attacked in their home in Colombia.  Gina is attending The Master’s Plan conference while Milton and the children stayed home.  She greatly appreciates the prayers of the NAF partnership on behalf of her family and their safety.
