Pray for a young man name Edson who was recently saved as were others in his family.  They were saved out of spiritism.  Pray for their growth in Christ.Work on their camp is progressing.  Pray for wisdom as they build this new camp from the ground up.

The Barnes’s have moved from Paris to the  seaside town of Frejus where they are attempting to restore a faltering church.  Steve is also president of a Baptist federation of pastors in France. 

Pray for their new church in Frejus (pronounced: Fray-jew) and for their former church in Paris 

Pray for Steve as he travels often ministering to pastors 

Rowena would appreciate prayer as she teaches the ladies and the children 

Their daughter, Anna and family are missionaries in a very dangerous place; they too would appreciate your prayer for this family.
