November Update

What's been happening:

Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for. Some of you have been praying for our friends “Adam & Eve”. She is pregnant with their first child and has been struggling physically the last couple of months. Thank you so much for your prayers. Praise the Lord she is feeling better and seems to be coping with this new “blessing”. Now however, she is preparing to tell her mother (who comes from a more radical family) that she is a follower of Jesus. She has been putting this off for quite a while now because she fears that her mother will disown her or worse. Please pray for Eve and her mother. Pray for boldness and wisdom for Eve and that her mother’s heart would be softened and receptive of the life-giving truth of the Gospel.
Our friend “Noah” has continued to hunger for the Word. He has been meeting with us every week to study the Scriptures and has been passing along these lessons to others on his campus. However, last week he came down with a severe earache. It hasn’t gotten better in the last few days and it is hindering his ability to study at school and with us.. Please pray for Noah’s ear to be healed and for him to continue to hunger for God’s Word. We are praying that he will not only follow Jesus wholeheartedly, but that he would also lead many others to faith as well.

 What's coming up:

On December 19^th, Jon has been asked to share the Christmas story with the staff of the English course he works at. Most of the staff are from the majority religion, and this is a great opportunity for them all to hear about why Christmas is so important to us. Pray that Jon would communicate the Gospel clearly and that Holy Spirit would prepare the hearts of those who will hear the story.
The Christmas season is upon us and our team is praying for a plethora of opportunities during this next month. Please pray for many opportunities to share the reason why we celebrate Christmas and how they can know the One who can take away sin.

Once again, thank you so much for supporting us. We need every prayer offered up and every dollar you send out. We would also love to have you here with us in the flesh to carry out the Great Commission. Please pray how God might have you to get more involved.
Blessings,
the Guffys
