One in particular has been on antidepressants and sleep aids since he was 5 years old. Please pray for supernatural soul care to take place.

Matthew has been invited to join a mission's team headed to Portugal to minister to all the West African missionary kids while their parents are in services and meetings. Pray for Matthew to be a wonderful blessing on this trip and also for him to raise his funds in the next 2 weeks. He already has raised about 1/3 of the needed funds. He needs $925 more. We know God can do it!

Please praise God with us and pray with us:
*Max’s trip to Cuba was cancelled due to the lack of consistent electricity because of problems with the grid on the island. Please pray for the repairs needed and for the people’s needs.
*The students of Theological English have completed the course work and exams. They still need to complete the required project of teaching one colleague the reading strategy they learned to read three theological articles. Please pray for them to complete this well by January 31.
