Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Pray for Zoel, Diana, and Miguel as they work on the followup from this weekend’s evangelistic campaign in Naucalpan. The Gospel was presented to many and there was much fruit.

Pray too as they begin a new form of working and reorganize themselves and reprograming their activities. They ask, too, for others to work with them to reach La Loma Colorado.

The Champa churcha hostess is Esperanza. She asks for pray for her husband Manuel’s salvation. Maximina asks the same for her husband Omar and son Marío. Vianey asks for pray for her husband José. Pray, too, for Olga the churches lay leader.

The Urano house church has had a misunderstanding and we are asking for God to bring them back to learn more about Him. The host couple is Maria Luisa and Roberto. Patricia is the lay leader and needs the Lord’s touch on her thyroid and for her job. Her husband Juan Miguel does not want to learn about the Lord.
