Prayer Mobilization Line for Wednesday, November 11, 2015 "Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself.
Remember also those being mistreated,
as if you felt their pain in your own bodies."[Hebrews 13:3 NLT]
PRAISES:
CAA Place of Worship
Praise the Lord for a new building for worship in a creative access area on the Central Asia District (see prayer requests and more information about the Central Asia District below).
Quentin’s Heart
God answered your prayers for Quentin Graham, son of new missionaries Jaron and Elizabeth. His recently detected heart murmur that could have kept the Grahams from leaving for the field in December is not an issue. The cardiologist said, “He’s as healthy as can be.” Thank you for your prayers! Keep praying that Quentin’s visa will be approved quickly so the family’s departure for New Zealand can stay on schedule.
Sickle Praise
Missionaries Stephen and Anne Sickel say, “We are blessed to be working with such awesome leaders in Mexico. It has been an incredible transition to move to Mexico. God has blessed us and confirmed His call by answering some incredible prayers. We have only been here five months, but it already feels like we have been here for a few years.”
