STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Daniel Durocher, Liberty University, Virginia

CHURCH LEADERSHIP:Don Dewey (Jan) - Elder; John Clark (Tiffani; Taylor, Hannah) - Deacon

MISSIONS FOCUS:Daniel & MeLinda Nelson, Baptist General Conference, Guadalajara, MEXICO Children: Diana, Karina, Adrian

• VIVE Conferences: …we are working overtime with Saturday and Sunday events. Please pray for stamina and faithfulness of the core group and leadership team.

• NUEVA EXPERANZA: Pray that Pastor Edgar will continue to press forward and be encouraged in follow up of Bible Study contacts.

• Pray for physical protection for us as a family. We do lots of driving in the city, and now with things gearing up with Factor Fe (new name—church plant), we see and have felt spiritual opposition to the truth of God.

“Thank you for your support in prayer; it is powerful and God answers.

Praise be to Him who is able.”
