September prayer

Please pray for our team in Bolivia. Currently, Jeff and Javier are out on a trip. They crossed the river expecting to find an area in need of the word of God and were surprised to find the place swarming with missionaries. They are currently evaluating the situation to see if what the missionaries that are already there are teaching, is truth. Please pray for their discernment as they evaluate the needs of these people. When they return from this trip they will be discussing their observations and findings with Trent and Kay in order to better determine what the ministry needs are. The other Bolivia team members, Graham and Efraim are continuing in their language study in Quechua in order to be better prepared when they go out. They will be heading out soon.

In Peru on the guys team, training is still underway and Jeff, Enoch, Jose, and Levi have been helping out. Quinten, a former Xtreme team member, will be visiting to help with training while Joe and Megan are away. After their time out at training, Jose and Enoch will be heading out to work with the Asheninka, where Jose has already been involved. Please pray for these guys as they continue trying to find a man of peace and to find people interested in hearing the word of God. Jeff will go with Levi as he returns to the Tigre Quichua. Please pray for these guys as they face the barrier of this misconception that they are "face-peelers". Pray that the truth of why they are there will be brought to light for the people of this river. Pray also that more and more will come to Christ through their ministry there. We Praise the Lord again that they were able to see a man baptized the last time they were there.

On the girls team, Amanda, Nadia, and Linzi headed off to continue the work with the Yaminahua on the 27th of August. Please pray for them as they continue to work to try and learn the language and the culture better. Pray for discernmnt as they begin to determine a plan of the best way to try and reach these people. They recieved word before they went out for this trip, that there was a presence of moral failure among many of the people. Katie has taken on a new position doing administartive work in Pucallpa for the team for the time being. Please keep her in your prayers as she begins this new role.

Joe and Megan are currently in Venezuela holding a training. They will be there from August 24th until September 22nd. Please pray for the Lord´s guidance for them in this task. Pray for Trent and Kay and their work in Bolivia. Pray also as they are having trouble getting their residency. Please also continue to pray for Jeremy and Susan and their work as they are in the states enjoying their first year with their new baby. Lift up Christy as she is in language school in Arequipa for a few more months and praise the Lord for the good progress she has made!
