  • I’m deeply thankful for co-workers who faithfully share the Good News even as they meet people’s physical needs.

Prayers

  • Pray for God to provide a new medical director, as the physician who was to begin orientation in November has withdrawn.

  • Pray for one of our physicians who is struggling to raise financial support, that God would meet her needs abundantly.

  • Pray for God to send more laborers into His harvest fields, especially where the need is great and the harvest is ripe.

  • 150 military police officers at the largest battalion in our city heard the Gospel clearly!

Prayer Requests

  • Pray for our son-in-law, Nathan, to find a new job.

  • Pray for our health and wisdom to pace ourselves as we host multiple groups through mid-January. It’s a big responsibility but also a huge privilege.
