NW Mission Conferences - Praise the Lord for the good mission conferences that a number of our missionaries were involved in from September 27 - October 26. Bethesda Church in Prior Lake, MN had their conference October 22-26. Please pray for the mission conferences scheduled in the Mobile, AL area November 1-9.

Puerto Rico Radio Stations - The Trumbowers are asking us to pray that a team being sent this month to work at stations WCGB and WIVV will safely finish the projects they will undertake. PTL that no hurricane has touched the island so far.

Bentons' Container - PTL that the Bentons have received word that their container which has been blocked at the Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) port will be cleared shortly. Pray that the container will safely arrive in Kapenta. Getting there involves descending into the valley over a very treacherous escarpment road.

GMI Africa Regional Council - Praise the Lord for the first meeting of the recently formed Africa Regional Council (October 19-24). The four GMI field directors in Africa met in South Africa where they also were able to attend an evangelism conference. Pray that their interactions and decisions will serve to coordinate, unite, and advance the Gospel of God's grace on all our fields.

Caraways in Grand Rapids - Mike and Lynn Caraway arrived in Grand Rapids October 7 and will be in this area for eight weeks. Please continue to pray for Mike's mother, Marilyn, who sustained head injuries while visiting Tanzania in June. She is home but her situation has not improved as hoped for.

Report from the Zubers - Chad Zuber (Tanzania) reports that the English course is under way with over 100 students. This course is designed to prepare students for entering secondary school in which a major language change from Swahili to English takes place. Chad is very pleased to see each student learn more English words and memorize key verses from the Scriptures. He is especially excited in the chapel service where the students sing in English and listen to one of our local pastors preach in Swahili. PTL for the lives that are being impacted in education and exposed to the Gospel. Pray that the construction of the four-classroom building and office will be completed in November.

News from Zambia - Please pray for the quick healing of Carl Moyer's leg injury. PTL that Joel and Darcy Molina and family are now settled into their new home in Kabwe, and Joel is involved in the training program of church leaders. Pray for Titus Lloyd as he chooses potential workers for the internet cafe. Pray for Dan and Tina Moyer and family who will be in the Northwest and California during November and December, the Lord willing.

Congo Update - PTL for Bill Vinton's safe trip to Kama where he taught and encouraged many of our church leaders to the possibility of evangelizing the 40,000 students in our schools. PTL for 20 evangelists who were trained using materials written by Fred Vinton and two pastors (former Muslims) on "How to Talk with Muslims about Jesus." PTL that the French translation of Craig MacDonald's "Understanding the Bible" is now at the printer in Kenya.

National Youth Conference in Tanzania - PTL for the report from Brook Seekins that close to 500 attended the youth conference and over 50 came forward to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. PTL that the "Gideons" gave out Bibles to all those who attended the conference.

Bolivia Update - Please pray for Talo Vergara as he will be teaching a modular class on Homiletics to the university students of theology and as he prepares for camp in February 2009.

Good Samaritan Meal at Montevideo Church - PTL for the wonderful experience of serving 200 meals to people who attended the Good Samaritan Meal served by members of the Grace Church of Montevideo, Uruguay. Clothing and other items plus evangelistic literature were given out to those who attended.
