·       As the next NILI (Nazarene International Language Institute) semester begins, pray for Stan, his staff and the students.  We pray especially that God will change the lives of our North American students as they live a semester among our national students.  

·       Pray for our daughter, Mary (16).  She has been sick for almost two months.  She was treated for bronchitis twice, but it seems to only go away for a few days and then she’s sick again.  She is now taking breathing treatments and we’re praying that God will heal her.

·       We are feeling led to help a new church plant, but are seeking God’s will for the right situation for our family.

·       We have been invited to the General Board in Kansas City in February to be commissioned as Global Missionaries.  We will be taking Landon (12) with us, but Mary has decided to stay in Ecuador so she won’t miss school or a ministry weekend.  Please pray for this time of blessing but also separation.

·       Pray for our national students at the Nazarene Seminary in Quito as they prepare for future ministry, and for Stan and Sherri as we work with these students.
