A Story of Thankfulness / Prayer & Praise Nov. 24-30, 2021


 

    A Story of Thankfulness  by Gary & Donna Ferch               

Every Tuesday, Pastor Rafael, Missionary Iver Suarez, and Pastor Saúl Peralta drive out to the small Amazon village of “Premiero de Mayo” for teaching from 7 to 9:30. Saul said there are now over 40 believers meeting together.                                                                               
               Saul's new 2018 Toyota Hilux   
                 
 
It’s cold in Northern Bolivia and Covid continues on a rampage, but our coworkers continue to teach the new believers and leaders faithfully each week. Rafael says, “I’m so grateful to be a part of this team and for the work going on to reach this previously unreached area of the jungle.” 

Iver mentioned how grateful he was for a ride in Saul’s new truck in the wickedly cold weather, “It’s so great to travel in a “warm” pickup instead of my moto.  PTL!  Thank you for your help in providing it.” 
 
Rafael sends his thanks to all who had a part in helping him reconstruct his house.  His roof was leaking in 10 places!  Now look at these pictures of the new roof…                     
   

                                Before . . . .                                                      and After!

                                                                

Pastor Saul called in July saying they would begin a major evangelistic outreach once again among the Chaco people near Riberalta.  There are now 60 people meeting in the newly established church!  $5000 is needed for this project of providing food and medication for the poorest of folk in Bolivia.  Again, Saul, Iver and Rafael will be in the middle of this evangelistic outreach, along with Dr Pablo who recently joined our team of coworkers.

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!  Psalm 107:1-8

PRAYER & PRAISE - November 24-30, 2021

11/24 Andrew & Anna Gorski  
In Touch Mission International, Poland 
Pray that the Gorski family will be able to raise additional monthly support. The inflation in Poland is the highest in 20 years. Pray for wisdom for leaders for the beginning of a new 501(c)(3) in the US, “Impact Poland” focused on helping Polish ministries. Pray for Monika, their newly hired media person. Her job will be very difficult – to run long campaigns on building awareness of evangelicals in Poland. Also pray for wisdom for national collaboration leaders.
 
11/25 T & A 
Central Asia
In a village recently visited, most believers there came to faith between 2004 and 2010. They have faced ostracism from their relatives and persecution from the authorities. But they have stood the test and are more solid in their faith because of it. Pray they will have freedom from fear and know daily the peace that passes understanding and joy that no one can take away. Pray they will be filled with power and wisdom to continue to spread the good news to their people!
 
11/26 Joshua & Gina Bloomfield 
AFC International, Australia
Approximately one-third of the world's last remaining unreached linguistic groups exist in the South Pacific. Please pray for Joshua and his team as they begin immediately working with Sunia and the Bible Society of the South Pacific to train and coach local ministry leaders in how to start disciple making movements among the unreached tribes of their countries. Pray as they structure this exciting new relationship over the coming weeks and that God would provide the funds necessary for this initiative to move forward and be effective.
 
11/27 Sam & Silvana Shaw 
Presbyterian Evangelistic Fellowship, Ireland/Worldwide
Pray for the Shaws today as they are involved in doing programs for three hours along with a Gospel band, during a Christmas tree light ceremony. Praise God For the churches they’ve been able to help during and coming out of the lockdowns in Ireland and Scotland, as well as the school opportunities they’ve had and are looking forward to this Fall.
 
11/28 Gary & Penny Seithel 
United World Mission, England 
Pray as Rail Pastors are continuing to engage weekly with passengers and station staff as part of the suicide prevention partnership with British Transport Police and rail companies. Shalom school’s old classroom building has been transformed by your generosity! The guardians and parents were invited to gather at Shalom Primary school to hear exciting news that their child could now study further in senior school. They never imagined such a program!
 
11/29 Sergio & Linda Mijangos
Avant Ministries, Guatemala
Pray for Linda’s chemotherapy treatments - for maximum effectiveness with minimal side effects, complete healing, strength, and healthy nutrition. Praise the Lord the Counseling Center continues to function on Zoom and Linda has been able to continue to see clients.
 
11/30 T & D  
Asia
T & D started teaching classes the day after they returned so it has been good for them to have classes to prepare for and teach.  All their classes are online for this month so it worked out great that they could teach via Zoom like all the other teachers.
