Praise

·      An excerpt of praise from Dwight Rich in a recent update to the NAF partners:  “We would like to express our appreciation to each one of you for joining with us in the great endeavor to build God's Kingdom on the North Andean Field.  There is no way we can express what it means to have your prayer support.  For us to know that wherever we go and whatever we do, there are people who care enough to remember us is an incalculable blessing.  This year we have seen how God's hand is not limited, but it is as powerful today as when Jesus walked the shores of Galilee.  There have been so many incredible answers to all of our prayers.  All I can say is, thank you!”

·      Marilyn Cummings, for whom we’ve been praying, sent in the following praise:  “Good news!  The cancer is in remission.  What a journey but God answers prayer.  So many people praying and they made all the difference.”

Prayer Requests

·      On Saturday, Ecuador’s National Evaluation Committee will meet in Santa Domingo to determine if the Costa Norte district (which is in Phase 1 of development) is ready to be raised to Phase 2.  Pray for all those traveling to and from the meetings, and pray for God’s wisdom and presence throughout the evaluation process.

·      Pray for Rev. Freddy Guerrero, Quito Seminary President, as he travels to South Africa for the Lausanne Congress over the next week.
