AFRICA:

Continue to pray for the Democratic Republic of Congo. There has been more violence in the past several weeks. At the end of November, heavy rains brought severe flooding around Kinshasa.

Pray for our Free Methodist brothers and sisters to find steadfast hope in Christ amid all that is happening around them.

ASIA:

Pray for many outreach events taking place in Cambodia during the Christmas season. Ask the Lord to open the hearts and minds of people who may hear the story of Jesus for the first time. Pray that many will decide to follow Jesus.

LATIN AMERICA:

Pray for missionaries Thad and Nikki Roller and their two daughters as they depart December 12 to begin serving in Bogota, Colombia. Ask the Lord to go before them, as they establish a new home, new ministry and new relationships in Bogota.

Dr. Ricardo Gómez gives thanks. In November, he had the privilege of officially establishing Honduras as a mission district and installing a new leader, Pastora Daisy Arzú. He also expresses thanks for the previous work of Superintendent Brent and Alma Thompson in setting a strong foundation in Honduras. Rejoice and give thanks for this new mission district. Pray for wisdom for Pastora Daisy and other leaders as they move forward.
