Pray for Pastor Saeed Abedini 
Hebrews 13:3 Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners...
It's almost ONE year since American Pastor Saeed Abedini was sentenced to eight years in Iran's notoriously brutal Evin Prison  This week Pastor Saeed was able to speak from his prison cell with family in Iran.  They learned that Pastor Saeed's abdominal injuries - sustained from intense beatings - are once again causing him excruciating pain.  He takes medicine prescribed by Iranian authorities, but he must be returned home to doctors in the USA and to his family!. 

On September 26th – the one-year anniversary of his imprisonment – Pastor Saeed's wife is organizing prayer vigils for him in nearly 50 cities all across America and in dozens more around the globe.  Nearly every state in America is already represented, and new events are being added every day.  Please pray, attend a vigil, and urge your friends to participate. Pastor Saeed needs our support.

 Our Missionaries
John & Rachel Hiskey, our missionaries in Guinea Bissau, want to THANK YOU for the special offering given on their last visit to our church.  These funds enabled local Pastor Tony, who Mark interviewed and we support monthly, to FINISH HIS CHURCH!  They are just praising the Lord for your generosity and prayer support.  Isn't it awesome to know that we helped finish a church where Jesus is made known to the lost in Africa? 

Michael & Evangeline St. Clair continue to request your prayers for the Philippine Church - Utap. It needs help in developing a path forward. Evangeline is still there and working hard in discipleship.

Jim & Annie Leonovich who are doing missionary work in the Ukraine!  We pray the Lord will use them to disciple many and bring glory to God through their work.
