Strategic Meetings in Europe

Pray for Todd and James, ReachGlobal Europe area leaders, meeting with key leaders in Stockholm, Sweden and Tallinn, Estonia, initiating and facilitating strategic partnerships in Europe. Ask God to give Todd and James wisdom as they listen and ask questions so they may clearly understand how ReachGlobal can partner with these leaders to see healthy churches multiplied in Europe. Also, pray for safe travels for them.

Rebuilding process in Haiti

Recently, leaders representing four international aid organizations and five countries (Haiti, U.S., Columbia, Brazil and Congo) met in Haiti. Their purpose was to work out a long-range plan for assisting the Haitian church in the building and rebuilding process. Pray for Steve, ReachGlobal church planting catalyst for Latin America, who has been asked to mentor and coach the national and international people arriving in Haiti. Pray that he can foster close-knit relationships between an on-site team representing multiple countries and help them understand the Haitian culture.Also pray that he can facilitate the creation of discipleship and mentoring strategies that can be lived out indigenously.

Providing additional support in Haiti

Pray for Clyde and Rebecca, ReachGlobal Latin America staff, as they travel to Port au Prince, Haiti, this weekend to help provide additional support for the staff while one key EFCA TouchGlobal staff member is recovering from an illness. Although he has begun to recover during his time back in the U.S., please pray for the quick return of full health, strength, and energy.

Thanksgiving

A blessed Thanksgiving to all our prayer partners! We praise God for what He has done during the year that has gone by and now “…let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:28b, 29)

Christmas Outreach

Pray for Bob and Joan, ReachGlobal personnel in Japan, who are preparing for various Christmas outreach events. Their first wreath-making class is scheduled tomorrow with Lami Club, a ministry to young mothers and their children. Another class is scheduled on November 26 for others who wish to come. These are popular classes that are held yearly and are a great opportunity for sharing the gospel. Pray for Bob as he prepares a Christmas message to share at these events.

Short-term team in DR

Pray for ReachGlobal staff in the Dominican Republic as they host an impromptu short-term team this week. Ask the Lord to give the team great relationship-building opportunities and a chance to share the love of Christ. Also, pray for God to protect the team and keep them healthy (especially as cholera has now spread into the Dominican Republic) as they work hard to complete the floor of a new church building. Until the floor is completed, the church body cannot meet in the building. Praise God for their service to the people of the DR.

Health Concern

Ernest and Effie, ReachGlobal personnel in Venezuela, request prayer for their daughter who is having health issues that are causing her a lot of pain. Ask God to give the doctors wisdom to identify the problem and give her the correct treatment. Pray for patience, comfort and healing. Pray that Ernest and Effie will be a blessing and encouragement to their daughter and her husband as they spend this week with them.
