7/14/11

Editor’s personal note:  It has been my great privilege and blessing to write the NAF prayer mailing every week, and I’m sad that this is my last one.  The mailing will be continued, so keep praying!  Prayer is the foundation of the NAF ministries.

Praise

·      The Halls appreciate your prayers.  They have accepted a pastorate in the St. Louis area and their first Sunday is 7/24!  God’s perfect timing and direction have been evident every day in their lives.

·      We thank the Lord for the wonderful Work and Witness team from Long Beach, CA, and for their great contributions to our Seminary campus with special mention for the remodeling of the chapel.  Please pray for the team as they return to the USA on Saturday, July16.

New Prayer Requests

·      Please pray for our NILI students as they return home on July 15 and 16.
