Thanks for the click!
Here’s the prayer list:
- NCM Retreat this weekend: unity after a time of stress, vision for the future, rest and fun together
- Pirolo Family: setting boundaries and expectations better to prevent burnout
- Pastoral Training School: we have a cohort of year 2 pastors coming on Monday. We are recruiting for a new cohort to begin in January
- CLIR: accreditation process requires effective recruiting, consensus building, and wisdom. We are praying for favor before the government, and a wise group of accreditation auditors who will judge what and how we must adjust.
- Team: WorldVenture teammates need prayer. Eric’s new wife, Fabi needs a visa extension in the US. (She is Brazilian.) Laura is having health issues that limit her work capacity. She is so frustrated.
Pictures Promised

Sumo is an almost graduate of CLIR. We’re giving him some scholarship money to continue at a partner school.

This is our General Assembly meeting (second of three in six weeks), where we approved our new statutes. Yeah, bureaucracy isn’t my favorite. What I learned, was that these men and women LOVE New Creation Ministries.

At this commissioning service for new pastors in the Nkurunziza denomination, I learned that 12 of the 17 pastors present (including denominational leaders and church founders) had been taught and mentored by NCM’s PTS Director Joseph Muyumbano (seated middle in the second Jenga picture). He is a man of great influence in exactly the right way.

Well, I guess we didn’t have two girl rabbits after all.
