Praise

·      From Dwight Rich:  We thank the Lord for Sherri Hall and her special ministry to our North Andean Field and Partnership over the past 6 years with our weekly prayer email and our www.andeanadventure.blogspot.com.  We have not made the transition to a new prayer coordinator yet, and Sherri has graciously agreed to help us a little while longer.  We will be dropping back to every other week until our new coordinator is ready.  Thank you, Sherri!!

New Prayer Requests

·      Pray for the Bill Bahr family of 4 as they return to the USA on August 2.  They have been studying in our NILI Professional program for the past two months.

·      Pray for Keith and Ruth Ann Morris as they come to serve as Mission Corps with a one-year contract.  They will be teaching at the Alliance Academy International, which will give our missionary kids a discount.  They will arrive on August 4.

·      Let's remember Harrison and Jennifer Guaman who have just returned from their honeymoon.  They will be getting back into the swing of their work.

·      Please pray for Vincent and Alyson Cork, Nazarene Extreme volunteer missionaries to Cali, Colombia.  They will arrive in Quito this week on August 2 to attempt to acquire their visa to be able to work in Colombia with the church.  Their assignment is to coordinate Work & Witness teams who will be arriving to work on the new 8000-seat sanctuary.  They have tried once before for the visa but were denied.

·      Lift up our 3 camps in Venezuela during August.  There is an adolescent camp, youth camp, and family camp.  This is a yearly highlight where over 1000 Nazarenes will participate.  Many of our present leaders were called to ministry in these camps.  Rev. Hernán Puga from Ecuador will be preaching for the adolescent and family camps.  Rev. Jean David Larochelle will be preaching for the youth camp.
