Requests for prayer: 24 October 2009

As you pray for your own services tomorrow, please remember several other things:

Evangelistic services at Iglesia Bautista Nuevo Amanecer (Greenville, SC) (with Roberto Nieto), which end tomorrow morning. We will have opportunity to present the work in Uruguay as well.

The morning service at Iglesia Bautista Monte Calvario (Greenville, SC).

Services at Windward Bible Church (Carriacou, Grenada).

Services at Iglesia Bíblica Maranatha (Pando, Canelones, Uruguay).

Elections are held tomorrow (Sunday, 25 October) in Uruguay. The Latin American trend to the left may continue, but all authority in heaven and earth will remain with Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:18). Please pray for the furtherance of His kingdom as a result of Uruguay’s elections.

Our nephew Jonatán is in the hospital this weekend for his next round of chemotherapy.

Request for prayer: Felipe

Felipe and María are a Guatemalan couple who have often come to Iglesia Bautista Monte Calvario (our church’s Sunday morning Spanish service). Felipe and a companion were shot when two men attempted to rob them this past weekend. We understand that Felipe is stable but has lost an eye. He is fortunate to be alive. Please pray that the Lord would continue to use this to expand the preaching of His Word. We don’t know whether Felipe and María have fully understood the gospel.

A picnic planned for this coming Saturday evening (17 October) will undoubtedly give opportunity for conversation with many.
