Dear Prayer Supporters,

In spite of bleak economic news, thanks to you, there has been no recession in our prayer support!  Here are some new and continued prayer requests.

Praise:

• Revival continues in the congregations at Matukeng and Ha Motheho.  The spiritual growth is obvious!
• The annual youth conference was blessed with God's presence.  Many of the youth commented on the spirit of unity that they felt this year.  Satan has sowed seeds of discord throughout the church, but we are so encouraged to see the youth taken steps to "keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."

Prayer:

• Mr. & Mrs. Howard (HIM Africa regional director) are on their way to visit the field and hold important meetings with us missionaries and the  pastors.  Please pray that these meetings will be filled with God's presence, and that we will have clear, Divine guidance for every decision that is made. 
  
• Pray for upcoming evangelistic tent meetings.  Right now we are having very rainy weather.  We're thankful for the rain, but as soon as the weather is better we will start the tent meetings.
• HIM is planning a retreat for pastors the second weekend of November.  Please pray for every aspect of this retreat--an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the pastors, the speakers, arrangement for accommodations, finances, etc.  Satan is fighting hard against the leaders of the church.  Pray that God will use this three-day retreat to bring revival.

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."  James 5:16b

Sincerely,
Glenn, Stephanie, Kaitlyn, & Kristell Gault
