Emmie Dryjski
From Emmie Dryjski: Thank you all for praying for my nephew. The Lord has heard our prayers and has been restoring my nephew's spirit, watching over him and delivered him from the dark place of his life. Cory now speaks of Jesus; he says he loves Jesus and that he talks to Him. Amen! Thank you God for Your help and victory and the love and grace You have shown Cory. Please continue to pray for my nephew, the cancer is also in his spleen and spine and he now has internal bleeding. Poor fella. Please pray that God will keep the pain minimal and that Cory will continue to cling on to the Lord. We thank God that we can always turn to Him for help, for He perfectly understands our pain. Please also continue to pray for Bogdan and me, because all this is very difficult for us.

Today is a more restful day for the Bolivia team. Pray as they shop and relax, and pray for their evening at the seminary chapel: especially for the person giving a testimony, probably Agustin. Pray for all the details of the coming weekend, going to Mizque with seminary students to plaster homes.

The Bolivia team were refreshed to see how God used them at the retreat.
From Pat: Amy Dyas was used profoundly by God in her teaching on Freedom in Christ. The rest of the team were a great blessing as well.
[Sunday] we go to a church called ‘Dios es Amor’ - depot for the area affected by the floods... serving over 1000 meals a day in recent weeks. Pray that our team will be an encouragement as Terry shares from 2 Cor. 1:3 and as Rene shares testimony with Agustin translating. Also - in the evening Terry will preach again and Debbie will share a testimony. The team are doing so well. It has been a privilege and a joy to serve with them.

From Emmie Dryjski: Please pray for my nephew Cory who is terminally ill with stage 4 lung cancer and stage 4 liver cancer.
This news came as a shock and as a result, fear has got a grip on him. My nephew knows the way of the Lord, but has not surrendered his life to Christ. Please pray for God's grace to free Cory from this fear so that it will not cause him to resist God, but rather embrace salvation. Please also pray for God's comfort and peace for Bogdan and me so that we may be there for my nephew during this difficult time.

My niece Sheri’s son Tristan (Aged 12) is in Costa Rica with his dad Ernie and due to come home tomorrow
Ernie was taken to hospital by ambulance yesterday and it looks like he has had a pulmonary embolism Tristan is alone at the Villa that they stopped at after being lost for 4 hours enroute to their next destination in the jungle
Please pray for Tristan’s safe return tomorrow and that a family they know who is in Costa Rica can bring him home
