Praise

·      For many months we have been praying for the legal and financial situation regarding the closing of the school at our Carcelén church.  Last Saturday, God performed a miracle and the church was able to pay its first installment of a very large payment.  Praise the Lord!  To read the full story, go to www.hallupdate.blogspot.com.

·      We want to thank you for your prayers for Rev. Freddy Guerrero, Rector of our Quito Seminary.  Yesterday he went through tests to confirm the need for surgery and it was discovered that his small intestine is completely clear.  Praise God!  Please continue to pray for him as he makes changes in his lifestyle.

·      We continue to be blessed at our Seminary with students who are preparing to serve in ministry.  This week, we’ve shared the testimony of Graciela Medina at www.andeanadventure.blogspot.com.

Prayer Requests

·      Please continue to help us pray for Rev. Eduardo Gonzalez, former Nazarene missionary, who was admitted into intensive care in a hospital in Guayaquil, Ecuador earlier in the week.  He has been operated on for what we think was a blood clot in the brain.  He continues to be in intensive care and is not responding very well.

·      Several Mission Corps volunteers are planning to come to Ecuador to work on the NAF.  Please pray for these people as they prepare their lives and their hearts to come:

o   10/11: Kyle Steinke (former NILI student) serving for a year

o   10/26:  Al & Diane Wright

·      Lift in prayer the following Work & Witness teams coming to serve in Ecuador.  Both groups will be working on the Lictu church, an indigenous church located in the mountains near Riobamba:

o   Missouri District Team One:  10/15-28

o   Missouri District Team Two:  11/1-14
