I include this prayer for the GO! Prayer Team:

__Father in Heaven, In the NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES,  Come against this world's futile distractions which the enemy uses to hinder our prayer time.  Create in us a desire to bow before Thee in prayer more often and to comprehend our 'calling' to pray; and help us to recognize Your Power to answer.  Bless each member of this Team with special blessings each time we call upon Thee in faith, upholding the GO! Missionaries, and hundreds of African pastors, their families, and villages.  Bring the Saviour to all of Africa, to the children in the slums and to the unknowing in the bush.

 

Our Volunteer Staff:

_Pray for Johanna, Howard and Bonnie's daughter, who does runs the printing and mailing of the Gospel News. She has two foster children and a possible third arriving, and it is challenging to care for little children who have suffered extreme abuse.

_Pray for Seth and Janet and Baby Eva. They do a remarkable job keeping finances.

 

Thank you, everyone, for praying!!!
Love, Bonnie
