 Ruslan and Zhanna report their YL Camp was unusual in that they held two camps at the same time, one for YL campers and another for moms of campers with disabilities. These moms live in a culture that considers disability a curse and punishment. The campers were great teachers as they taught patience, compassion, and gratitude for the simplest gifts. Pray for these moms and campers to remember and reflect on how God’s love was lived out.

Kyle & Claudia report that La Mision-Flores rejoices that the first group of adolescents who were raised in the church have been confirmed into membership.

Pray for peace for this family as they await their first child in October.

The team that Dave and Robin took to Athens and Rome accomplished much in a short time. The men’s team worked in a new church plant renovating the building and buying supplies for refugee bags. In Athens they checked out a refugee center SGI has been supporting where roughly 200 men breakfast each day and educational programs are offered. Pray for direction about future team trips to Athens given the government’s handling of refugees changes frequently making it difficult for planning teams several months out.

Rob and Tundi Futo are grateful for the help of an American team in caring for babies and kids ages 3-12 during the church family camp. Three young people gave their lives to Christ and they had one baptism. Many new friendships were formed and deep conversations took place. Following camp, the Futos took 24 youth to Austria for six days. Pray those who did not know the Lord came to saving faith and became part of the growing church.

Judy Mbugua and her husband are both dealing with health issues with Richard recovering from surgery. Pray for their health and family matters that cause them concern. There are 20 students in the sewing ministry, and 30 women with HIV/AIDs are being served and ministered to daily.

Pray for physical and financial strength for Judy and her team, and for peace in Nairobi.

Praise for the release of Stephen’s book “From Cairo to Christ” and the numerous opportunities it has given him for radio interviews. Following his brief visit with us, he returns to the European Training Center. The next ETC training will focus on Biblical team formation, how to work cooperatively, and conflict management within the team. The November course is the College of Prayer. As this ministry is directed to BMB believers, pray this will solidly ground them in Biblical truth.
