Prayer Requests

From Linda Reed (Middle East):
Please continue to pray for our granddaughter, Jaden Reed.

Please forgive my delay in sending news about Jaden's health. She is still in the hospital. The doctors continue to rule out all kinds of diseases. However, they won't let her go home until the vomiting stops. It stopped for a few days and then started again. She is walking more in her little wobbly way. At present the only diagnosis the specialists can come up with is Cerebral Ataxia.

They believe a virus has affected the membrane surrounding the cerebellum, near the motor and balance areas, causing the various symptoms.

Our son, Brad Reed, is returning today from the Philippines after preaching Bro. Gamayon's anniversary service. He cut his trip short when Jaden's symptoms returned.

We don't understand why this is taking so long, but God does. That is really all that matters. In the meantime, please continue to pray for this dear family. They are doing such a great work, training and sending young men to workers' camps and other cities with this gospel. Your prayers will be their strength right now.

Thank you for all you are doing to cover this family - Brad, Vercinia and Jaden - with your precious prayers.

Praise Report

From Randy Adams (Togo/Benin/Gabon):
What wonderful things God had in store for the crusade in the city of Cotonou, Benin, held November 21st-23rd, 2008!

The special speaker was Missionary Randy Adams and services were held for 3 nights in the parking lot of Cotonou's main football stadium.

The churches of Benin had well canvassed the city and passed out some 100,000 pieces of literature prior to the crusade and thus, each night was well attended, with the attendance reaching 1,200.

Each person who attended a service received doctrinal tracts as well information on names and addresses of local assemblies throughout the country, and the harvest from these literary seeds will be seen in the coming months.

At least 75 people received the Holy Ghost, dozens came forward to be baptized in Jesus' Name, and there were testimonies of miracles. To Jesus Christ be all glory and honor!

From Rufus Parker (Asia Military Ministry/Japan):
I would like to thank everyone that prayed for Sister Parker, she has here voice back. Thank you so very much.
