Prayer Requests for December 12-18, 2007

Please pray for health and travel mercies for Gordon Woolard, as he consults in Nairobi this week with people from various African countries to decide on a seminar schedule for 2008.

MIA missionary, John Lewis, asks for prayer for the schools in St. Vincent, as weapons are being found there. Please also pray for the three theological centers John is working with in St. Vincent.

Roger and Dianne Smalling, missionaries to Latin America, ask for prayer for protection for the people of Villahermosa, Mexico. The recent flooding has now abated but the rivers are blocked by a huge plug of earth resulting from a mudslide in the neighboring State of Chiapas. When the plug has been cleared, it is predicted that the flow of water will cover Villahermosa, and many people are leaving the area.

Praise the Lord for the completed roof on the Lloyd and Elaine Cooke’s house in Jamaica, which was damaged by Hurricane Dean! Please pray that the rest of the ongoing repairs would go smoothly.

Billy and Sherry McKillop, and their children, Caleb, Zachary and Gabrielle, are praising God for providing someone to rent their home in Miami. Please pray that this would proceed smoothly, as they are still on the road rasing support.

Walford and Jen Thompson are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this month. Praise the Lord!

Prayer Requests for December 5 – 11, 2007

Please pray Walford Thompson and the ongoing construction of the Biabou Evangelical Church in St. Vincent and about the possibility of a Homes for the Homeless project in that island nation.

Please continue to pray for the McKillop family as they continue their preparations to go to Jamaica as missionaries. They have recently returned to the US from Canada and have seen some progress in their support raising.

Please keep Southeast Mexico in your prayers as they recover from the recent catastrophic flooding. As numerous business were temporarily shut down, there are many people without work and therefore without money for food.

Please pray for God to provide a company to dig a well on the Hato Nuevo clinic property in the Dominican Republic. Please pray also for God’s provision of short term workers and funding for this project, which is probably a little bit more than a year away from completion.

Praise God that the damage to persons and property in the Caribbean from the recent earthquake (epicenter 23 miles South of Dominica) was relatively minimal.

Please pray that the recent political developments in Venezuela would result in more freedom to preach and teach the good news of Jesus Christ in that country.
