Winter 2016
Dear Leader,

Winter is here, and the Christmas season is upon us! This is a great time to remember our commitment to pray for our missionaries around the world and for those itinerating. Your faith and prayers encourage and empower the ongoing ministry all over the world. 

Thank you for praying!

CRITICAL & URGENT NEED
Craig & Dana Mathison - SPAIN
The Mathison's are on the front lines of the refugee crisis in Europe ministering the good news of Jesus through witnessing and meeting needs. The refugee situation required an urgent return to the field and so they were sent underfunded as ADP - "as designations permit." They are at 85% of their budget and are in need of $1,500 in monthly pledges.  They will be returning in January for a two-month itineration. Craig works to mobilize and equip the European Church to reach its Muslim neighbors & care for the incoming refugees. Dana serves as the Transition Coach for all new missionaries coming to Europe.  The Mathison's work is critical to AGWM's efforts there. Many are responding to the practical helps being offered as well as the message of the gospel.  Please prayerfully consider hosting a service for them, and/or extending monthly support to this worthy ministry.
Jim & Sallee Conn - MISSIONARY RENEWAL ASIA PACIFIC
Many of you have received the news that our beloved friend and colleague, Sallee Conn, was diagnosed this past September with a left frontal lobe brain tumor. For them, and for all who know and love Jim and Sallee, this news was truly difficult to process. To focus on treatment, Sallee has taken a leave from her counseling duties.  This unexpected turn of events has left a significant financial deficit in their budget. They are at 80% and are in need of $2,000 in monthly pledges. Would you prayerfully consider extending support to the Conn's in their time of need? Whatever assistance you can provide would be meaningful.

Please join us in earnest prayer for the following:
1. for miraculous healing
2. for divine guidance in the decisions that continue to lay ahead of them
3. for successful surgery outcomes, should that be the Lord's guidance
4. for no lasting complications
