Take Heart in the Lord


Please be praying for the Ecuador Team (Doug Hutcheson and Johnathan Sliski) as they are continuing getting settled there in Ecuador with their house, car, etc. There are a few problems going on with their apartment; the owner has been dragging his feet. Ask that the Lord may encourage the owner to pick it up, and help out Doug and Johnathan. Also, please be praying for guidance for them as the try to make good, personal contacts with the Chachi people group on the river close to their city. Johnathan recently came back from a trip to the Chachi with Jose Chillambo. It went well; they made some contacts, and got to see the people that they are trying to reach.
Speaking of Jose, he got married this past Saturday, the 7th, to Sarai!! They are now in Ecuador talking to his churches about raising support for the work they are taking on here in Peru with the Asheninka. Please pray for them as they meet with all of those churches and pastors.
In Bolivia, the Women's Team is in a Quechua language institute until the end of the year learning Quechua. Please pray for patience, wisdom, and love for them as they learn the deeper idiosyncrasies of Quechua. Also, please be praying that the women get an opportunity to share the Good News while they are in the school, and that they would be able to make disciples there among the teachers and other students.
With regards to the Men's Team in Bolivia, they really need prayer right now as they are dealing with the community with which they were working turning them away. The people just wanted to work the young men in their fields, and had little interest in the Bible stories. So please be lifting up the Team as they seek His guidance on the situation. Praise God that the young men Efrain (Colombia), Roberto (Argentina), and Javier (Peru) are continuing the work there in Bolivia even though this obstacle came up. Even though they are a little discouraged, they know that they are following His will for their lives in doing this work; and that is worthy of praise in any situation!
In Peru, please be praying for Adam Huser and his wife, Jessica, as they are planning two or three trips to the Huitoto people in the Amazon jungle. Ask that the Lord provides a man of peace for them, and that the people would be eager to have the Team engage their communities. Also, be lifting up his wife, Jessica, as she is expecting their first child in a few months. Give thanks that SC Adam Huser and his wife successfully completed their first investigation trip into another people group. They made many contacts there but the group is already engaged by other agencies; which is great news for the Kingdom!
