Winter 4th qtr. 2016
We need earnest prayer for six important matters:
1) The purchase of a Subaru Forrester that we can tow behind a loaner RV as we embark on the next four months of full ministry in the USA. We invite you to pray as well for our ability to purchase all hookups and accessories needed; we're quite certain there will be more than we realize at this time.
2) Preparations, wisdom and all logistical matters pertaining to both the teaching of the 'Introduction to Islām' course in the Seminario Bíblico de Colombia Fundación Universitaria of Medellín, Colombia, as well as the various tentative teaching opportunities along the northern coast of Colombia that will follow. We antipate at least 4 months in order to be able to comply with all the invitations.
3) We are excited to be included now on the worldwide database for teaching 'Perspectives on the World Christian Movement' in both English and Spanish. We have two very good invitations in Texas for teaching one of the 15 Spanish lessons in February 2017.
4) We are now experiencing a fluctuating month-to-month payroll as our funds are so low as to require us to be on a 'what comes in' financial basis. Please pray we are able to make good contacts for support raising in the next few months leading up to our return to Colombia in late April 2017.
5) We are very excited about a young couple G____ and T____ as they prepare for work among an unengaged Muslim people group. We may very well be involved with them in one way or another in helping them not only get to the field, but also set up their field ministry strategy. We are very excited about their future and hope to share more in the coming months.
​6) Finally, please pray for our home in Bogotá. New policies, changing territorial boundaries and 'urban progress' may well force us to make some very difficult decisions in the not-too-distant future. Huge corporate constructors will soon be buying up land in our area in order to build 18-story urban dwellings. Our concerns are that there be not only just policies, but also just financial considerations given all, us foreigners included.

O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant,
​and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name,... Nehemiah 1:11a
