“I thank my God every time I remember you.” Philippians 1:3 Please praise God with us and pray with us: *In this month of the Thanksgiving holiday, we have many reasons to be grateful to the Lord. We are thankful: for the protection over all the travels to teach this year; for our dedicated co-workers of the Facultad team, including professors, missionaries, representatives, and staff from around the Latin America-Caribbean region; for our enthusiastic and diligent students who are committed pastors and church leaders; for our 29 years of marriage and our 27 years as missionaries; for our excellent supervisors; for the vital role of our praying families, friends, and supporters. We thank the Lord for everything, and we thank each one of you! Thank you! (Spanish version) “Doy gracias a mi Dios siempre que me acuerdo de vosotros.” Filipenses 1:3 Por favor, alaba al Señor con nosotros y ora con nosotros: *En este mes del día festivo en que celebramos Acción de Gracias, tenemos muchas razones para estar agradecidos al Señor.

Damos gracias al Señor por todo, y damos gracias a cada uno de ustedes. ¡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!

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

Understanding of how to write the Children's Ministry lessons for the oral learners. We're now working to understand and research the other lessons that have been written for OLBI (Oral Learners Bible Institute).  Needs to be completed in 2025.

Wisdom for the many items on our To Do lists and communications.  Finding a workable routine when not traveling.

Our travel budget has increased.  Please pray for an abundance in our travel funds account so we can walk through the open doors of ministry - Philippines, Thailand, Ecuador, Mongolia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and a sensitive nation (so far!).

We need God to send angels to protect us as we travel to and from the office. We pray at the start of each trip as well!
