Cameroon Trip - PTL for the good trip that Pastor Mark Matychuk and Don Ten Hoeve had to Cameroon and for the encouragement they were to our believers serving the Lord in that land. Continue to pray for the growth of the churches in Cameroon.

Back to Zambia - Dan Moyer and their three children returned to Zambia on January 2. Because of the physical therapy needed due to knee surgery, Tina will be returning to Zambia close to the end of January. Please pray especially for a full recovery for Tina and safe travel back to Zambia.

Bolivian Youth to Chile - Please pray for DeAnna Olson and the youth leaders who are leading a mission trip to Chile January 4-14, the Lord willing. PTL that during the process of personal interviews with the youth, six of them decided to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Now they will be going with a new perspective and a fresh testimony of God’s love. Pray for this ministry as well as for the youth in Santa Cruz who will be led by Talo Vergara to Uruguay in January to attend the Teenstreet youth conference. Pray for safety during the three-day bus trip to Uruguay.

WCGB - Puerto Rico - PTL for the news from Lawrence Trumbower that when lightning burned up the WCGB radio transmitter during the night of November 28, no one was around and it did NOT ignite a fire in the building. Thankfully, they have an older backup transmitter which is keeping WCGB on the air with lower power. Pray for Lawrence as he is researching new transmitters and satisfying insurance investigation requirements. They are looking forward to installing a new, up-to-date transmitter soon!

Costa Rica Update - On December 10, the Costa Rica Grace church had their first service in the new building on the property purchased by the church five years ago. Dr. Sam Vinton was able to take part in the service held on December 17. PTL for all the various teams from the States who went and helped in the construction of the first phase of the church building (gymnasium and several classrooms). Pray that the next phase to build six classrooms will be done quickly. PTL for the completion of the first year of the Bible Institute. Pray for the students who will be entering the second year in January.

Tanzania Update - Please pray for Cory Hodgson and the Mbeya pastors as they are teaching and sending out people from the churches to do one-on-one and house-to-house evangelism in the city of Mbeya. Pray for Cory as he teaches in Swahili. Pray also for hearers to respond to the work of the Holy Spirit in their hearts.

Uruguay News - PTL that our three students from the Montevideo Grace Church have completed their third year of Bible College and look forward to graduating at the end of 2007. Please pray for the church as they expand the ministries of the church and for the new outreach to children in another part of town led by Beatriz and her husband.

Missionary Addresses - If you desire a list of our missionaries and their addresses, please contact the home office for the most recent update. Thanks for your prayers for them.

Ministering in Africa - Please pray for Pastor Rob Renberg and Dr. Sam Vinton as they minister in Africa. They left Grand Rapids on December 31 and will begin teaching at Kindu Bible College on January 4. They also plan to visit Kama and Kipaka before returning to Nairobi from where Pastor Renberg will return to the States and Dr. Sam will continue to Zambia and Malawi. Dr. Sam will be back in the States on February 1, the Lord willing.
