Watch out world, here comes Memphis!


Firstly, I would like to give praise to the Lord that everything turned out great for the Taliaferros with the birth of their son, Memphis Dean! He is continuing strong and Susan had no complications at the hospital, thank God. Please be lifting them up as they are trying to readjust to having a newborn in the house.
Please be praying for the team in Ecuador as they seek to get settled in their town, and working with the Chachi people. Also, lift up SC Doug Hutcheson as he begins to start tutoring to improve his Spanish. Please be praying for contacts among the Chachi who are ready to hear the Word of God, and accept Doug and Journeyman Johnathan Sliski into their villages.
Praise God that the Women's team in Bolivia has had some successes there in Cochabamba sharing Christ with different people that they’ve met. They have been able to talk about the Lord with their teachers and people in the park and gym. Most of them have been quite receptive to the women which has been really exciting for them! Pray that the Lord would grow the seeds planted in the people there surrounding the women. Ask that He would give them more opportunities to share Him with more people and that He would give them wisdom and the words in those situations.
Please be praying for the Latin team members on the Bolivia Men's team as they return home to try to raise funds for another year with the Team. Pray for safe travel for them, and for the hearts of their home churches to be open to supporting them another year. Also, be lifting up SC Trent Jones as he is researching new areas; ask for wisdom and guidance for him as he continues his research. Finally, be praying for protect for Trent’s wife, Kay, as she is pregnant with their second child. Ask that everything may go well with the child as she develops.
Praise God that Jessica’s (wife of Adam Huser of the Iquitos team) sisters will be able to come visit them this Christmas; they are really excited about having them over during the holidays, and are eager to play the hosts. Please be lifting up SC Adam Huser as he is planning their next trip to investigate the Huitoto in the Amazon jungle. Ask the Lord that everything would run smoothly, and that He would prepare some of the Huitoto people to warmly receive the missionaries heading their way. Also, please be praying for Adam’s wife, Jessica, as she is in her final trimester of pregnancy. Ask the Lord to watch over mother and child, and protect them from complications.
