Prayer Requests

Pray for those who received the vision for multiplication in Mexico - that they would maintain the enthusiasm and focus toward being a vital part in the Great Commission. Pray against attack as they find persons of peace, train them, and equip them to multiply.

Most of the work at La Raza is finished just a few little odds and ends which will be completed this week.  The main focus for the team will be the completion of planning of the next stage of the work.

Pray that the kids are courageous enough to brave the elements to get to Mex-i-Kids. When it’s cold numbers are often down a little.  Though a praise is that La Loma’s numbers seem to be maintained in spite of the weather.

Robin writes from New York and asks for hearts to be open and listening to what the Lord has to say.  Pray also for the weather as winter has arrived as she travels around to different churches this fall.

We praise God for His faithfulness during the Marriage Encounter.  Both Leroy and Kay are feeling better and the encounter went off without a hitch!  That is only because of the prayers of God’s people.  Thank you!

Naucalpan ECC

The Naucalpan team asks for pray for their ministry.  Ask the Lord to help them daily listen to His voice and do His will. They give thanks for the way God has been responding to their petitions.  They asked for 5 house churches and He established 6!  To God be the Glory!

The Chamapa church is 1 year old and 2 new house churches open on November 8th.  Praise God for His faithfulness.  Pray He will sustain these churches and give guidance for the four others we are planning to open.Plans are being made for Christmas outreach in the house churches.  Ask the Lord for open hearts of both parents and children.

Pray for Alma and Paty who are in training classes.   Pray too, for Olga’s family.  They are going trough some difficult times.

Pray for Zoel and his family.  Daughter Noami has an eye infection and wife Sandra is struggling with knee problems.

Urgent Prayer Needed

We praise God for all the lives that have been changed through the Marriage Encounter.  The encounter starts tomorrow evening and there have been many bumps along the road.  Both Kay and Leroy are under the weather and there are 52 couples coming (the biggest encounter yet) and the center is double booked so no set-up can be done til tomorrow afternoon, something that usually begins on Thursday.

The encounter team is tired and needs our prayers for strength and stamina. The couples coming need our prayers for transformation.  Please stand with us in this time.

There will be regular postings made throughout the weekend as news comes in.  Thank you.

Prayer Requests

Continue to pray for our delegation in the Dominican Republic.  Pray for unity and renewal and safety as they return.

The Cofradia team has moved from their office in Cofradia to the Izcalli church.  Pray for this transition and for new opportunities to spread the Gospel and plant new churches.

Pray for the finishing touches to be completed on the drop-in-centre and for the outreach to the street kids taking place from there. 

Pray for continued safety for our missionaries and their families.  We praise God for His protection over the many miles traveled.
