Dear Co-Laborer,

 

Do you know you are a co-laborer?  Financial support as well as prayer support unites you with brothers and sisters all over the world. You partner with them.  Here’s an important key:  money without prayer comes and goes, it has no lasting strength of its own & its ability to make a difference is controlled by the value placed on it by the world & the wisdom of man – you give, but aren’t connected. Money with prayer…now that’s the extension of Jesus’ hands and feet.  It is a powerhouse!  The hearts & lives of the giver as well as the receiver are changed!  Its impact becomes immeasurable!   Now, that’s the kind of impact that makes a difference. 

 

The following are requests for prayer….will you labor with them?

 

Hugs!  Gay

 

 

 

Flooding
Heavy rains have led to severe flooding in several parts of the world including Australia, the Philippines, and Brazil. In Brazil the flooding and mudslides has led to over 600 deaths. Two Nazarene families were reported missing and the pastor’s family in Metropolis have lost their home. To read more about the flooding in Brazil, visit http://tinyurl.com/4rptwo3. Pray for all those who are suffering loss due to flooding.

Fiji Boat Project Update
An e-mail from Harmon Schmelzenbach

We have been able to take the money that Virginia gave and have a Coastal Boat custom built by a boat builder in Suva, Fiji. This boat is now being used for the ongoing expansion of the work along the southern most chain of islands of Fiji. The boat was completed and launched in December.  God was able to multiply the Virginia District's investment and by the launching, the boat was completely outfitted with the appropriate engine and all the necessary safety and survival equipment.  Other than our 'Open Ocean' vessels, this boat now leads the way as the largest and most safely equipped of any of the 'Coastal Boats' that Nazarene Maritime Ministries has provided over the last decade.  Melanesia / South Pacific Fields...   and especially the Nazarenes of our Southern Islands Circuit of our Fiji District, really thank the Nazarenes of Virginia for their great partnership in God's ministry to the lost and hurting people of the South Pacific!!

blessings,

Harmon
