Weekly Prayer and Praises

I'm going to try to start a weekly update that includes prayer requests and praises for the week. We really appreciate all our friends and family who uphold us in prayer. Without your participation in this way, Satan would certainly get a stronghold in our lives and ministry. THANK YOU for being a part of our lives!

1) Pray for the team from GA who is here this week doing a Vacation Bible School for the children at the dump and also for another Extreme Response partner ministry, Nuevos Amigos.

2) HCJB has asked Santi and another co-worker, Brent Weeks, to go to Australia in September for special training on a unique software program to help our radio staff around the world. Santi is sending his passport through the mail today to the Australian embassy in Chile. Please pray that a) his passport wouldn't get lost! and b) that the visa would be granted for their 10 day stay in Australia. Also, pray for FUNDING for the trip.

3) Pray for the Extreme Response short-term team from MI who has been serving at an orphanage in Manta (on the coast of Ecuador). They will be returning to Quito this week and then back to MI. Pray for traveling safety and also that God would continue working in their lives as they return home.

4) Pray for this Sunday's ministry at the Hogar Betania (Bethany Home for the Elderly) as we will be ministering there with another family. Every time we go, we see so many needs and we need God's guidance in knowing how to help the dear people there.

5) Ruth has just one more month to go with her English class at HCJB's Christian Center of Communications. Pray that we will all finish well (she has a huge stack of papers to grade, but a little guy named Nathan keeps distracting her!).
