Needing your Prayer

We just wanted to mention a couple events that we (and our friends/family) could definitely use prayer for:

·         Sydney’s youngest sister, Roxanne, is going into a pretty big surgery this coming Monday (November 1st) – we pray for her safety, her comfort, peace for her and the family, and we pray for the doctor’s hands and mind who will be performing the surgery.  May God speed up the recovery process for this almost-16 year old and send her blessings in the process.
·         Arequipa, Peru (where we moved from this year) lost a local pastor this week.  He had a sudden heart attack and leaves behind a wife, a son, and a recently married daughter.  He was actually our pastor, as out of the few local churches there, his was the one we attended regularly.   We pray for comfort for the family of this blessed man.


We also would like to announce an addition to this blog post - Pastor Herrera will be visiting Eugene First Church of the Nazarene to speak in the morning service on Sunday, November 7th.  Click here for more information.

I am praying for Roxie and just want to let you know your family is loved and prayed for daily. You are all a blessing to us at EFCN and are praying for God's grace, healing and peace for Rox! Love you all Cindy

Roxanne is of course on my mind and in my prayers. I'm praying that the Lord will guide her surgeon's mind and hands through this surgery, and that the rest of the "personnel" who will be taking care of Rox will receive the Lord's help for the whole procedure before, during and after!

As the family in Arequipa deals with their husband, father and pastor's death, may they feel God's arms of comfort enveloping them.
And may all of you feel peace during Roxanne's surgery! God has this in His control.

Sydney it was great to see you while you were in Nampa. You are such a joy and it was so exciting to see how much you love what you are doing!
I have been praying for you and your family and for your little sister. I am anxious to hear how she came through the surgery. We serve a mighty GOD and he can do amazing miracles. I am believing! Love you!
