2007 August Prayer Guides
August 2007
We’ve shared precious time of serving churches in Guerrero state along with a short-term group of All Nations Church (L.A., CA). Our children also served as translators for medical brigade. A team member described Nahum as “a portable translator.”
We also had a brief relaxing time with the Meyers by a calm lake in Michoacan. What a beautiful place it is to spend time with friends in ministry!
Praise
• This summer has been unusually (and unexpectedly) busy traveling all over central Mexico. We are so thankful to God for His protection on the roads and guarding us for good health in the midst of busy schedule.
• Thanks for your prayer on Abe’s visit to Chiapas for AMICH course. There were 30+ students and local church members who attended the study. The agency has been supported by about 10 presbyteries with purely native Mexicans (Ch’ol, Tseltal, Tsotsil, etc. of Chiapas). Praise that brother Sergio is in his final preparation to leave for God’s mission in Turkey sometime in September.
• We congratulated 16 students (Seminary by Extension) for their faithful attendance for the last 4 months of study. They finished first 4 course module of eight in total. They are now in a brief summer break.
Prayers
• The father of Ilse & Max (Naomi & Nahum’s classmates) died a couple of weeks ago in car accident. He had been divorced and had lived with his two kids. Please pray for these two little children that they may find a loving family. Right now they are with an uncle.
• Continue to pray for Elaine as she disciples Vianey for Christ. They meet weekly using “A Woman After God’s Own Heart” by Elizabeth George. Pray that Vianey would do the best to become a woman after God’s own heart.
• July 27-August 13: YWAM group, who were with us a month ago, will be back to Cuernavaca from their training in Pachuca. Pray for their continuing ministry, this time, in Temixco area with Pastor Jose Ocampo and Saturnino. May their presence be meaningful to challenge youth groups in the area. The team also will visit Gethsemani RPC (Pastor Nain de Jesus) on July 29.
• August 4: Presbytery Emamuel will open a presbyterial sport tournament. Please pray for the event so that churches will have a good fellowship, and find more way to reach their neighborhoods.
• August 6: It’s back again for “Dating with the Pastors”, a monthly pastoral gathering. In this meeting we will talk about the next semester of Seminary by Extension program. We are meeting at pastor Jose Ocampo’s house.
• August 7: The Jung family, a fellow missionary with WEC and our friends, is moving to Aguascalientes to plant churches. May God’s blessing be on them as they move on to another city to extend God’s kingdom. We, especially our kids, will miss them very much.
• August 9-13: Another short-term team of ANC is coming to minister, this time, in Puebla. They will visit a rural church in, unfortunately, a tough situation. May the team will be a channel of blessing for the church to recover her power to witness God’s loving message.
• August 15-19: A group of 4 from ANC will help us offer a 3 day discipleship course in Cuernavaca. We will use “One to One Discipleship Training”. May this conference be a good tool for churches to disciple members and initiate church evangelism.
• August 19-September 5: Sam Boldenow will be here with us. We look forward to work with him in relation with Emmanuel Presbytery. May his work encourage our churches in Cuernavaca.
• August 20: Summer vacation ends. The first day of school for our kids. Please pray for them to have another good school year.
• August 25: Second quarter of Seminary by extension will initiate. Continue to pray for our teaching staff (mostly very busy bi-vocational pastors working full time at church).
• August 26: Abe is scheduled to preach at Sinai RPC in Toluca. They are celebrating a special month of the Bible.
• Brother Cho is flying back to Seoul to visit his families. May his visit charge him emotionally and morally as he gets discouraged on his study. He had struggled a lot for language and cultural barriers.
