Dear Prayer Partners,

Thanksgiving month is here once again! And I am thankful for so many things. I'm thankful for Jesus Christ and the Good News of His coming kingdom! I am thankful for the privilege of serving as one of His ambassadors in this world! I am thankful for the faithful team of missionaries with whom I get to work everyday! And, I am thankful for each one of YOU who partner with us through your prayers and support! Here are some prayer and praise requests for the month of November. We thank you in advance for sharing them with your local church and for including them in your personal prayers.
