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.

From Emmie Dryjski: Thank you everyone for praying for my nephew Cory who's terminally ill. The Lord has heard our prayers and answered them. My nephew is no longer trapped in fear and anger. His heart is calm and quiet. Praise God for His love and mercy. Cory has come to terms with his illness. Now that his heart is at peace, please continue to pray that he may embrace the Lord that he knows and accept salvation. Also please continue to pray for Bogdan and me for continued comfort and peace so that we may continue to bring comfort to Cory during this very difficult time.

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
Please pray for Ernie in anyway you can think of. There are many uncertainties about finances, insurance and how long before he can travel home.
Also Ernies wallet did not arrive with his passport and insulin when he arrived at the hospital
Thank you
