SGWM DEC PRAYER UPDATE

EUROPE

Zully Ruano – Mallorca, Spain

Please Pray:
1. We have many atheists’ families coming to our school, so we are praying that the Lord would use us as a reflection of His love for them and that they would come to know the Lord. 

2. We are planting seeds in the life of our students, so we ask for continual prayers for their lives and God’s work in their sweet little hearts.  

3. Please pray for our Christmas season at the school, it’s a great opportunity to share the gospel to our students and their families. Many have never heard or really paid attention to the real reason why we celebrate Christmas, so this is an amazing opportunity.  

4. For God’s provision for the school in every sense of the word 🙂

5. We are in need of more help, specifically for another teacher and more teacher’s assistants. 

6. Personally, for me continual strength and wisdom to be a good witness and leader at the school. 7. I’m praying for my parents to come visit me and it has been quite difficult for that to happen but there is a plan for them to come in February. Please pray that it actually happens! 

Thank you for your prayers! They definitely make a difference in the work God is doing here in Spain. 

God bless you,
