OBERG PRAISE N PRAY – August 25, 2008
 
PRAISE God for a good field forum this past week.  Pastor Tom and Gwen Lundeen (from Minnosota) ministered to us during that time, and our hearts were challenged and encouraged from what they shared with us.  The kids had a total blast at VBS, and it was good just to be together.  Thanks for praying for our missionary team during those days.
 
Please continue to PRAY for Pastor Marcel.  It sounds like his health has taken a turn for the worse.  Our prayer is that God will be glorified, whether Marcel experiences a miracle of health on this earth or is completely healed in heaven.  Please PRAY that whatever the outcome, that the testimony of God’s faithfulness will be strong and that those who are against Him would be shaken to their core as they see His hand at work.
 
We head to Ndorola this Sunday.  Please PRAY for Kevin as he prepares and preaches his messages every Sunday, that he would be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit and that people would be challenged and encouraged in their faith.
 
This past week, the main leader of the Bangaso church passed away.  This group is about 30 people, approximately 20 miles from Ndorola.  Please PRAY for this man’s family and for the believers, as his death has left a tremendous “hole” in the leadership and function of the church.  PRAY that God would raise up leaders and that His work would continue to go forward.
