worried daughter, and assures her that time heals all wounds. Please pray for relief from a long ordeal for
the family.

Dear
Faithful Prayer Partners,
Here are
some praises and prayer requests that we want to share with you:
Greater Lima Team
Rejoice
with us that Jim and Sherry Neal arrived back in Lima this week!
Truman and
Carol Chatman write, "Continue to pray for our work in Matute. After being in the US for 6 months, it was a
blessing to come home to Lima and to find the group still functioning and
meeting regularly."
Praise!!! For those of you who prayed for Maria Luisa during
her cancer surgery and chemo and radiation treatments, we would like to share
that her 6-month follow-up exams have shown her cancer free! Thank you so much for your prayers for her. We praise God for such wonderful news. Maria Luisa is growing in her Christian life,
and radiantly tells others what God has done for her.
REAP North Team
Sunday,
February 5, a group of missionaries and volunteers will be traveling to
minister to the Yagua people in the jungles of Peru during the week of February

given us here in
Please pray
for all of the missionaries in Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay as we meet for our
annual mission meeting outside of Lima January 10-16. This is a special time for all of us as we
look forward to seeing those in the outlying areas that we don't see
often. This is a time that the
missionary kids (MKs) look forward to also because they get to see their
friends and spend time with English speaking volunteers from the U.S. The
volunteer team is from Wedgewood Baptist Church in Texas and adult MK,
Ruth Fletcher who grew up here in Peru and now lives in Oklahoma will also
be here. The volunteers are
always a special blessing for all of us. Please pray for our South
AM (SAM) regional leaders who will be traveling here and as they plan their
conferences with us. Also, please pray
for Wayne and Debbie Brinkley who are coordinating the event including all of
the travel, accommodations, food, the program for the MKs,
and all of the other details for a large number of people.
The national
Baptist Convention of Peru will be meeting January 10-13 at the Baptist Camp
outside of Lima. They will be celebrating the
40th Anniversary of the convention during this time. Pray for Pastor Samuel and the other national
Baptist leaders as they cast the vision of church planting that will reach all

Praise
God with us for the new work in Pachacutec, Ventanilla on the outskirts of

Next week,
the REAP North Team will be sponsoring a training seminar in Huaraz. They have received confirmation from 100
national pastors and church leaders who will be attending and are expecting 150
in total! Pray for the national leaders,
volunteers from REAP partner churches in the U.S. and missionaries who
will be leading training sessions. Pray
for these national pastors and church leaders; many of them will
travel a long distance to attend.
Please
continue to pray for good health and safety for the missionaries, volunteers

Dear Prayer

Thank you
for your prayers for Grace Hutchison last Friday. We were at the hospital with Cliff until
after the surgery and then we went to a prayer retreat with our strategy
group outside of Lima until this afternoon.
We just
returned from visiting Grace and she is doing well and plans to go home in
the morning, (Monday.) Please continue
to pray for her as she recuperates at home. (And for
Cliff and the girls!)
She asked us to thank all of you for your prayers and for
those who sent her email messages. She
said the messages were a real blessing. Their email address is: hutchinlima@pobox.com
Just to let
you know how God cares for every detail in our lives--we asked you to
especially pray for Grace's high school students because she was
concerned about being away from the classroom so near the end of the
semester. A relative of another teacher
at the school arrived last week for a visit with her family and asked if she
could substitute for Grace--and she has the needed chemistry and biology
degrees! Isn't God good!!!

communities along the Pichis, Azupizú,

Rios, our faithful and effective young team member from Atalaya,
who is working so fruitfully on the Ucayali River. The training will include evangelism, church
planting, and discipleship, as well as the topic of witnessing to errant groups
who enter their areas. Volunteers will
join in the teaching times by training on pastoral ministry, sharing
testimonies, telling Bible stories, and leading in additional learning

PRAYER CHAIN FOR CHAD FIELD

From: Vicky Field - Granbury, TX.
My son has
been shot in Falujah...I wanted to get everyone to pray for my son Chad. Today, Sunday, I got a call from the Army
that my son had been shot in the head. I
am asking for all your prayers. He was
in a Humvee going through Falujah fighting and a gang of militia fighters fired
on the Humvee and hit Chad in the head.
The driver got him out of the city and took him to Baghdad. He was in fatal condition, but now has been
upgraded to stable critical. His dad and
I are on standby to fly to Washington then on to Germany as soon as the military
calls us to go. The Army is trying to
stabilize him enough to fly to Germany and at that time we will leave. Please
pray that my son will not have brain damage and that he will be restored and
healed by the blood of Jesus, and the grace of God. I ask for you to pass this prayer request on
so there will be many prayer warriors praying for him. Thank you so much and I will try to keep you
updated on his condition.
God Bless

Dear Prayer Partners,
Today we received the following thank you note from Sherry Neal to forward to all of you:
Please send a last note to our prayer partners thanking them for their prayers for me. We really appreciate everyone praying. I am at home recovering and I am doing very well. We are praising God for the answered prayers and His care for us. We know we are in his hands and nothing is too big for him to handle. We had many opportunities for witnessing at the hospital and Jim saturated the hospital with Gospels of John. My doctor said she could really feel the people praying when she operated and everything went well without any complications. God has blessed us so much and we give Him all the praise and glory!!
Thanks again,
Jim and Sherry
Also, we received an update on the Bergeron family. We had written and asked for your prayers for Mary Lee and Uless as they traveled to the hurricane area from Peru to look for their family. We are happy to report that their family is alive even though they are all recuperating from a terrible ordeal. The towns of Wavely and Bay St. Louis have been wiped off the map. Please continue to pray for Mary Lee and Uless as they minister to their family.
Thank you for your faithfulness to pray for the requests that we send.

Sherry will be in the hospital tonight and can go home tomorrow if she feels up to it, but the doctor said that if she wanted to stay an extra night that she could. We are all just praising the Lord!

Thank you for your prayers for Pastor Francisco, his wife Bertha and son Mathias. Francisco had a biopsy on the tumor on his vocal chords last Tuesday. We received news after the biopsy that he will need surgery and that it will probably be scheduled for the first week of September. The doctors didn't give them much more information about the tumor or his prognosis. They did tell him that he would not be able to speak for 2 months.
Please continue to pray for this family. Even though we don't know exactly what is going to happen, we know that God is in control. Francisco and Bertha have expressed tremendous gratitude for your prayers and concern during this time and they continue to trust God to provide everything that Francisco needs.

My name is Linda Jensen from Greensboro, NC.
Some of you receiving this know me, some do not. I'm 47 and have been
diagnosed with O.P.C.D. this year. I started having
symptoms 5 years ago.
I can no longer work as a nurse, or be as independent
as I used to be. I'm now on disability. O.P.C.D. is a rare neurological disease with no known
cause or cure. There's no treatment available. It
sort of mimics Parkinson's disease. The bottom line is that my
brain is degenerating or dying. The nerve pathways are not working right.
Therefore I have no coordination, gait problems, tremors, fine motor skill
impairment, problems with controlling my bladder (it's spasmodic), speech
difficulty, and swallowing difficulty. I will eventually die after a
prolonged incapacitation. I don't want to be a burden to my family.
This is a request for you to forward this e-mail to
everyone you know asking them for prayer. The more people that pray for me to
be healed the better. Pray and forward. It only takes
a second to hit "forward".
Please do it and don't delete this, you prayer will save my life. Please
pray and ask everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Linda, removal of
this disease from my body so that I can resume a "normal life".
I want to continue to be a mother for my 2 college age children and a loving,
supportive wife to my husband Brent.
The power of prayer is unsurpassed. I believe in its healing power.
God will hear our united cry from his people. Please do not be offended
by my plea. This is a simple, easy request from my heart to yours.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping with my
request for healing. No words can express how much power we have when we
ask God in prayer for help.
Thank you again, and please send it to the far reaches of the earth.
Sincerely, Linda Jensen, Moses Cone Health
