MISSION ONE Reaching others for Jesus ChristBeth HannaMission Board: CAM International

Location: Qro., Mexico

What does she do? Beths ministry involves

Bible studies, speaking at womens confer-

ences, creating and providing new Spanishministry resources to Christian workers in

Mexico including lessons, Christian music,

books and Bibles at discounted prices. Beth

and her late husband Ken served for many years in Mexico.

After his death she returned to serve alongside her Mexican

and missionary friends.

Praise:

For funds that were raised to build a new kitchen roof for

Reyna, a Christian grandmother (caring for 3 grandchildren)

in a community with no electricity, no running water and

horrible streets.

Prayer Requests: For the ladies of Abundant Life Bible Church as they share

the good news of Jesus Christ with their friends.

For health and safety of three teams as they work on construc-

tion of the Community Outreach Center and Camp Koinonia.

For Rosy and Tania as they desire to attend a Bible School.

Neither has much in the way of finances.

Peter & Marta HockingMission Board: Segadores (Reapers)

Location: Lima, Peru

What do they do? Peter directs the

Segadores Missionary Associa-

tion, teaching, counseling andtraining national missionaries

with the goal of sending them

to unreached tribes in Peru. Segadores has planted several

churches. Both are involved in counseling ministry. Peter,

one of the founders, grew up in Peru as the son of missionar-

ies. Marta, raised in Venezuela, is the daughter of our first

FFC missionary, the late Edna Dade.

Praise:

For a medical team that recently met physical and spiritual

needs and presented the Gospel to adults and children.

Prayer Requests:

For follow-up and preparations for another medical team

coming this month.

For Gods protection and guidance for a research team of 7

in a remote jungle area seeking an un-contacted tribe.

For 2 of their younger Peruvian missionary families living in

very isolated jungle areas in tribal communities.

For Christian influence in the lives of their 3 foster grand-

daughters (ages 9, 11 & 12) who are visiting them.

Tim & IrisLocation: Closed Country

What do they do? Their desire is to make known clearly thetruth of Jesus Christ to every ethnic group in their country.

As a team, they are involved recording messages of salvation

in the heart language of 32 ethnic groups. The recordings are

distributed by partnering with churches, missionaries and

others. They work to train national missionaries to serve in

their country.

Praise:

For a week of VBS with kids in another village.

Prayer Requests:

For the deep needs of the children there. The normal family

consists of a drunken father and an overworked mother.

For a student (Sam) from an evangelical institute stayingwith them until September 10th.

For the will of the Lord in Sams life; for quick adaptation to

life there; for his language skills.

Health and safety for Tim and Sam as they go on recording

trips and use their building skills.

KZ ChurchSo what are those friendly bugs helping

us learn this week? Its all about transform-

ing our relationships by learning to listen

and take advice from others. Friends listen

to each other as a matter of respect. It is

also important to respect parents and listento them. They give you advice, not because they want to make

you look foolish, but because they want whats best for you.

Proverbs 13:10 says, Pride only leads to arguing. But those

who take advice are wise.

Come visit MetamorphosisA God-directed, Life Change

at 10:45.
