Praises
• Praise the Lord! The Ramu Valley Bible Conference in September was a very encouraging time for the 500+ believers from 5 indigenous churches gathered there. Pray for the growth of these churches and for their unity in Christ.
• We attended our annual missionaries’ conference in early October and had a good time of fellowship with other members of the Body and great encouragement in the Word.

Prayer Requests
• For Evan’s adjustment to life and school in Taiwan, that he can become more plugged into a local church there and grow with other believers in the community.
• For our final push to finish our language and culture studies and for daily ministry and relationship building here in Tanguat.
• For the people to come with receptive hearts and grow in God’s truth as we teach the book of Ephesians to the church for the very first-time starting Oct 29!
• For more people to be willing to publicly testify their faith in Christ! We’re looking to hold the second baptism for the people in early December.
• That the Lord would send out more full-time cross-cultural workers to complete the Great Commission!
