Bulgaria

• Brenton & Debbie Driscoll – Praise God with us that after more than a year of trying to obtain Debbie’s American visa, we finally got the confirmation that it has been approved and should be in the mail very soon. Pray that we will have the visa in hand very soon so that we will be able to finalize our travel plans and leave for our stateside assignment. 
• Jonathan & Amy Postlewaite – Pray for the village of Batsova Mahala. Pray that the truth of the gospel which we have shared with many kids there will have an eternal impact on their lives. Pray that God would provide all the necessary resources and open doors to make a weekly Bible club possible after we return to Bulgaria. 
• Trif & Vanya Trifonov – Please pray for the organization of the Bulgarian National Conference (Sept. 3-6), preceding the International Fellowship of the Free Will Baptist Church Conference. Pray that the messages of Eddie Moody will find good soil in the people’s hearts and will stir them to bringing fruit. 

Ecuador

• Adam & Carol Duncan – Praise God with us that our JKC partner, Cheyenne, arrived in the jungle yesterday. She has been attending language school with us in Quito since April. Pray for Antioquia; the school will begin in the next month. Pray for Adam and Carol as we continue in the second portion of our language and culture school; for our kids as they continue with homeschooling.   

France

• Bryson Foulks – Please pray for our Go Global team as we travel to Ozark, Missouri this weekend (August 12-14) to share about the work God is doing around the world and raise awareness about how EVERY Christian can and is called to be a part of that. I would also appreciate your prayers for me as I preach and present the ministry in France at Ozark Family Church on Sunday morning (August 14). 
• Matt & Cristina Price – Pray for a man named Gilles who has contacted us recently.  He has a desire to understand what the Bible says about Jesus.  Pray that God would continue to work in Gilles’ heart so that he would become a follower of Jesus.
• Joel & Lydie Teague – Please pray for Joel who is going on a mountain bike trip this week with the church guys and non-believer friends. Please pray for safety as well as good conversations and opportunities to share the gospel or invite them to JPense or church events.   

Japan

• Jack & Ashley Ketteman – Would you please join us in fervent prayer, perhaps even fasting, for our Certificate of Eligibility documentation to be approved and returned in the next 48 hours? This is the final hurdle delaying our return to Japan. Thank you!

Please also pray for Good News Chapel as we head into a difficult season of transition with the McDonalds’ return to America.
