Pray for our little baby as they continues to grow. Also for open doors and open hearts for our funds. We are almost at 40% of our monthly.

On my 3rd itineration! Please pray the Lord continues to provide and connect me with individuals and churches wanting to partner in monthly giving.

Please pray for our new works. Kids groups in San Silvestre and El Junco and an adult group in San Alejo. That God will continue to help us reach more people and that their lives will be transformed.

Pray for the men who are currently seeking deliverance from addiction, that they will find strength in Christ and become pillars of faith for their families and their country.

We are trying to raise money for bathrooms and a small office from among the people in the local church. We have only 2 toilet stalls, plus we need space for a 3rd kid ministry class. Pray for generosity and a spirit of giving.

Pray for those who are trying to plant churches in smaller communities. Only 3 cities in Serbia are growing, so most of the church planting is in smaller towns in small group settings.

MINISTRY- Joe’s first preaching opportunity was Aug 3rd and we know that was the first of many because this is what God called us here to do. Pray for fruitful ministry. Pray for divine encounters. Pray for transformation in Guinea! FRENCH- Much of our day to day French is coming back but we have so much farther to go. Pray for us as we diligently study for the language to stick and flow smoothly so that we can share the gospel clearly. ABIGAIL- School is a big part of her life. She is praying for a wonderful year and for lots of growth in not only academics. MATTHEW- This year Matthew has taken on new responsibilities. He is a small group leader and an assistant RA, working for the facilities department and oh yeah, you know attending his college classes. Pray for wisdom in balancing. We know God’s grace will cover him.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Please praise God with us and pray with us: *Missionary Renewal in June lived up to its name with excellent inspiring speakers and the Holy Spirit’s deep work during times of prayer. *Max will be traveling to Ecuador to teach Christian Social Ethics August 9 through 17. *Sylvia will again be teaching Theological English online, September 2 through November 6, for our students seeking better language skills required for advanced theological materials not available in Spanish. Thank you! (Spanish version) “Fíate de Jehová de todo corazón, y no te apoyes en tu propia prudencia. Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus veredas.” Proverbios 3:5-6 Por favor, alaba al Señor con nosotros y ora con nosotros: *La conferencia de la Reavivamiento Misionero hizo honor a su nombre con excelentes oradores inspiracionales y con la obra profunda del Espíritu Santo durante los tiempos de oración. *Max viajará a Ecuador para enseñar Ética Social Cristiana desde el 9 hasta el 17 de agosto. *Otra vez Sylvia enseñará el Inglés Teológico en línea, desde el 2 de septiembre hasta el 6 de noviembre, para los estudiantes interesados en mejorar sus habilidades de lectura en inglés requerido para estudiar libros no disponibles en español. ¡Muchas gracias!

We've been reaching out in our neighbourhood and building relationships, but we need God's plan for the next step. We want to begin engaging people with the Gospel in a more formal way. Please pray with us for God's timing, location, and method.

This is my first time serving as a staff pastor in a church, and there's a lot of work that needs to get done to help these ministries thrive. Please pray for the youth group I'll be leading, the children's church I'll be developing, and my activity in helping the church's online and outreach presence. And pray for the students and members of the church when I return to serve in the church!

Wisdom as we reflect on the impact of our month-long ministry trip to the Philippines, Thailand, and a sensitive nation. Many connections were initiated that can be built on for the future.

Good Health - our last trip kept us non-stop on the go for over a month.
