Robert & Leslers Oudman: Nicaragua
Praise God for beating hearts! Leslee’s is working well again and we are keenly aware of the fact that God has preserved her life! He’s got some marvelous things planned for her (our) lives for the future for sure! Praise that we’re harvesting one of the best crops we’ve seen in Carazo, Nicaragua! We’re thankful for the economy this generates and pray that it translates into prayerful gratitude from each producer. Our seed production too was excellent, replenishing our depleted inventory. Pray for wisdom as we sort out our travel schedule over the next 1/2 year as Leslee continues her cardiac rehab program.

Pray for ServeBeyond missionaries that the Holy Spirit might lead them and be fruitful in their ministries. Pray for continued financial provision for support and ministry projects for all ServeBeyond missionaries.
Marvin & Colleen Penner: APD Superintendent
Praise God that the church plant in Wembley Alberta was able to burn their mortgage at the end of 2022. It is such a blessing for this new church to be able to move forward debt-free. We also thank God for calling short-term pastors to Wainwright and New Norway. APD Superintendent Marvin Penner is thanking God for a good first year in the role in 2022 and asks for prayer that God will provide wisdom as he plans ministry priorities for the next two years. The APD continues to have several very small churches that struggle. Pray that the Holy Spirit will guide them into seeking the lost and reach those in their communities who God would add to their fellowship. Pray for healing in congregations who have had differences over the last few years. Pray our churches and pastors will be able to re-engage with one another rather than become habitual in their isolation.
