The Shortest Month.... Still Plenty of Action


This may be the shortest month of the year, but here on the Xtreme Team it is possibly one of the busiest. There is a lot going on for each team during this month. Please continue to lift up the Central Jungle Peru team; José and Enoc are returning to the Asheninka to find a new community in which to work. Pray that the Lord will lead them to a community that has been prepared to receive and obey the Word. Jonathan Jackson and Levi are wrapping up their trip among the Tigre Quichua this month. Pray that they are able to return with no complications in the future. In the middle of March, the entire Xtreme Team will come together for a team meeting, please pray that it will be a time of spiritual replenishment and encouragement for all. Finally, please lift up SCs Joe and Megan Brewster; they are expecting their third baby in August but the some complications have developed in the pregnancy. Please ask that the baby will grow healthy and that the pregnancy will go smoothly.

As for the Women´s Team, just as much stuff is happening. Please be lifting up Christy Holcomb as she continues her language learning in Peru. Ask that she may have continued excitement about the classes and can retain all of the information. Please lift up Lindsey Williams and Nadia Jones as they are on a two-month trip back to the community of San P. On their last trip the girls were able to get a short New Testament story track translated and now they have been able to begin sharing those stories with everyone in the community…pray that the Word will penetrate deeply into the hearts and minds of the people there. Praise the Lord for Z, who has been helping them tell the stories, and also that it appears the rumors that came up on the last trip have been dealt with. At the end of this trip, Lindsey and Nadia will join Amanda Brock and 6 of the new Xtreme women in training for a practice trip out to different communities. Pray that it will be a time of learning and growth for all. Also, be praying for the 6 women that are in language school right now in Guatemala. That is coming to a close in the middle of this month, and then they move onto the training.

Things are getting quite hectic in Bolivia for the Quechua Team there... but only in good ways this time! Please pray for SCs Trent and Kay, and their two-month old, Jack, as they head into a Quechua community this month for three weeks. Pray that Jack can acclimate well to his new surroundings, and that he does well overall. Please lift up Javier and Efrain as they are continuing to teach the Bible stories in Q. Pray that their man of peace continues to exhibit an interest in the stories, and that they can reach the New Testament by March. Pray for Roberto as he is finishing up his Quechua classes, and that the Lord will provide him with a Quechua partner to disciple and do the work with. Lastly, lift up Graham Michael as his term is coming to an end at the beginning of February. Pray that he will have a smooth transition back to the States.
