After forty-one years of faithful ministry in Ecuador, DAVE and LOLLY ERDEL are retiring from World Partners on September 30. The Erdels state, “We are very grateful for your faithful prayers and generous gifts across the years. Thank you so much for all that you have done for us as we served the Lord together as partners in the gospel.” World Partners is extremely grateful for the Erdels over the years and wishes them much happiness in their retirement!

AFRICA:
Pray for RICK DUGAN and JAMES CHIKOPA as they are currently in South Africa meeting with a team of local pastors and discussing discipleship.

RUSSIA:
RICK DUGAN states, “I’m getting more information from the families being impacted by the Russian draft. Many are trying to flee the country, and some from the disciple-making movement in Russia have been able to join others in a movement in another country. But they are refugees now. The disciple-making movements are providing the relationships, the means, and the support that these refugees need. And we’re all praying for the gospel of peace to penetrate the front lines."

EUROPE:
Pray for a STAFF COUPLE as they return to Europe this week following their Home Ministry Assignment. Pray for them as they continue intensive language learning upon their return and as they transition to a new field of ministry. Pray as they begin their visa process, that it will go quickly.

UNITED STATES:
Pray for BILL and DEBBIE JONES as they have started leading Breaking Free 101 at Bethel University on Monday evenings. This Wednesday, the Joneses will begin leading a five-week series on spiritual warfare at Nappanee Missionary Church. Pray for the attendees of both these classes and for Bill and Debbie as they lead them.
