Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray for Greece as new austerity measures are approved that are going to mean job losses and pay cuts for so many people that depend on their pay to provide for their families.
2. Please also continue to pray for Kristin’s pregnancy and the health and development of our baby and also for me (Travis) and my Ulcerative Colitis. I started going to a doctor here in Greece and so far the Greek formulas of the drugs I take don’t seem to be working as well. Pray they will start working or I will be able to figure out a different drug regimen.
3. Provision for daily needs and our upcoming furlough to California to work on visas, including airfare and other travel costs.
4. Thank you so much for praying! We are truly blessed by all of your prayers on our behalf.

PRAISE report: I am blessed to be able to attend C.C. La Mirada’s women’s retreat this weekend at Murrieta–I am thankful for this blessing and looking forward to a great time in the Word and fellowship with my sisters.
Prayer requests from Calvary Chapel Pedregales and Tijuana:
1. For a medical outreach that we will be having here in Pedregales on Feb. 25th. For many to come to Christ and for lasting fruit. For the Lord to soften hearts. Also, we will have a breakfast for those who accepted the Lord here at the church the next morning and are praying that they will desire to congregate. (It is hard as we are in Catholic territory)~! We need an outpouring of the Holy Spirit!
2. For a young man, Felipe, 19 and in the hospital here in Tijuana for taking 45 sleeping pills. Felipe used to come to our church as a child, but has since left the ways of the Lord. He was even on our dance team for a while. We went to see him yesterday and he is recovering. Has been in the hospital for three weeks and will prayerfully be out soon. I’m praying for a Holy visitation from the Lord. The Lord gave me words and I was able to minister to him yesterday. We prayed with him and he was definitely touched by the Lord. I pray that he will return to Jesus and make him Lord of his life.
3. Funds for new glasses. My eyesight has worsened. Also, my car is in need of many things–brakes, shocks, tires, struts…for the Lord’s provisions.
4. For more teachers to be raised up by the Lord for the Children’s ministry. And for wisdom in leading and guiding them. For the Lord to bless our teacher’s meeting next Tues.
5. For all of the children in our Sunday School program, that the Lord would keep them in his hands, protected and safe, and that we would not lose them to the world at the jr. high / high school age!
6. for a hunger and love of God’s Word! For continued provisions in these hard economic times!
God bless you all,

Ends of the Earth Ministries
Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray for support for the medical clinic. The clinic is saving the lives of hundreds of people a month. By giving simple first aid, fever reducers and care for minor injuries, we are watching the Lord open wide doors for our missionaries to preach the Gospel. Pray that more finances come in so this ministry can continue. We are the only medical care that these remote tribes have access to.
2. Pray that speaking opportunities open up for me to share with churches and groups here in the States and that many would have a heart to get involved with End of the Earth. Pray pastors would want to come to Sudan and Sri Lanka to help me train the national missionaries. Pray for the organization of construction crews and VBS teams as well.
3. Pray for strength for me as I travel to extremely remote parts of Sudan in February. Pray for safety for the team and I as we drive in very dangerous areas and are in danger of being attacked on the roads. Pray for physical health for all who are going- against malaria and disease and spiritual warfare.
4. Pray for the protection of our native missionaries and for fruitfulness in their ministries.
Yours for the unreached,

Please Pray for Nepal
SGWM is committing the month of February in praying for Nepal.
The land-locked nation of Nepal between China and India was, until 2006, the world’s only officially Hindu nation, with 86 percent of the population being Hindu and only 0.6 percent Christian. Today, Christians make up 2.8 percent of the population while Hindus account for 75 percent. People who convert from Hinduism to another religion may be socially ostracized, and proselytizing is officially prohibited.
Government: The new Interim government established in 2007 is officially secular and protects the right to practice one’s religion. The Interim Constitution denies the right to proselytize.
A strong Buddhist population in Nepal recently rose against a group of Christians and drove them out of their village with their pastor.
According to the Voice of the Martyrs, Canada, the Nepali pastor was accused of bringing a foreign religion into the village and teaching ideals that were offensive to society.
Attackers also accused Christians of bribing and coercing other villagers into converting, an act frowned upon by society.
While the anti-conversion laws are not officially in effect in Nepal, anti-conversion law language has been used by the Nepali government in their ongoing process of drafting a constitution.
A worker with the Voice of the Martyrs helped the believers resettle in another village.
Please join us in praying:
1. Please pray for lasting peace for Nepal—and for its people who have suffered so much to find true healing and redemption in Christ.
2. Please pray that the missionaries in Nepal will be filled with joy, Christ’s love and physical stamina as they diligently take His Good News to their people. Pray they will encounter receptive hearts, and pray for new believers to be strengthened daily in their faith.
3. Pray for believers in Nepal who are facing hardships for the sake of Christ.
4. Pray that the passion these believers have for Christ will be the light that draws others to Jesus (Matthew 5:14-16).
5. Pray that Christians will practice their faith with courage.
6. Please pray that hostility against Christians in Nepal will cease and that believers will be allowed to live and worship freely. Pray that despite the lack of freedom to share the hope of faith in Christ, the Lord will give Christians opportunities to evangelize.
Thank you for praying for us! Your prayers are impacting lives and helping
“Reach the Nations…One Soul at a Time”.
