October 5- Ken and Clea Rathbun, Jamaica

Ken is a graduate of Emmanuel Christian School.  He and his wife, Clea, are serving in Jamaica at Fairview Bible College, training pastors and Christian leaders.  They are new parents and baby Lucas is less than a year old.
Pray for Ken as he directs the Bible College- finding teachers and students 
The Rathbuns  are also deeply involved in Bay Life Bible Church- pray for the growth of this church 
Pray for Ken as he is finishing a writing project and preparing to minister this summer in Peru at a Bible College there 
Pray for Clea as she is new to motherhood and also teaching some classes

Ron and Chris are veteran church planters in Buenos Aires.  Two of their sons minister with them in the numerous churches they have planted.
Pray for Ron’s health as he balances a full load and travels often
Pray for healing for Chris as she has recently had carpal tunnel surgery  
Pray for the two new daughter churches they are establishing (as well as their other churches)
Pray for their hospital ministry- many have come to Christ because of this



October 19 - Jeff and Ivana Reiner, Brazil

Jeff, Ivana and their 2 young daughters recently returned to Brazil from furlough.  They are involved in two church plants : Jacuma and Malta.  They also have a camp. 
Pray for their safety.  A local Catholic church is causing upheaval and trying to run their church into the ground. 
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.


October 26 - Steve and Rowena Barnes, France

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.
