ANNOUNCEMENTS
Opportunity to PRAY for one another– We would like to form a team of individuals or couples interested in being available at the end of our Sunday morning gatherings to pray for anyone who might need it. You would be serving on a rotation and would make yourself available at the end of your assigned Sunday, to pray for anyone that might desire that. Please see Karen Rutt or Katie Aungst if you have willingness to serve in this capacity or if you have any questions. Once we form a team, we might have a brief meeting to discuss some more simple details.

GLOBAL OUTREACH PARTNERS
Jim & Angela May, Japan – Thanking each one of us for standing with them, praying with them and giving to help them minister there in Japan – the Good New that every person desperately needs to hear. They had an annual Christmas concert and Candlelight service on 12/21 – Please pray for those who attended and heard Jim’s message! Pray, too, for Mrs. T., Roger and Mina. They were able to share the Gospel with Mina and she made a decision to believe in and follow Jesus! Pray for a teammate, Sara, who will meet with her for Bible study. Pray for Roger, with whom they have had some good discussions, but who is very busy with college and has much vying for his attention and time. They were also able to share with Mrs. T over lunch – pray that she will attend Bible study after their January English Café!
