General Prayer
Requests:
Dear prayer
supporters:
There is much to keep in prayer. Please pray for the following:
1) a home for a Kumiai family that lost theirs due to a fire.
They are currently literally living under a tree.
2) For Joaquine and his family. They were set to be under a
discipleship program with a local pastor. That is having
difficulty as Joaquine is prone to drinking. Please pray that
this vice will be broken in his life and the health of his
family will stabilize.
3) Please pray for a water-filtration project with the Kumiai. A
local church will be coming up on September 19th to do a
workshop and build 7 portable water filters for the Kumiai so
they can have clean and potable water.
4) Please pray for a church visit later in September and an
important missionary team meeting in mid September.
5) Please pray for an important team meeting for the Christian
Development Center September 20th.
5) Please pray for the health of your missionary.
Thank you for your continued prayers. Please feel free to
contact me at any time.
Take care,
Tim Nash

Dear prayer
supporters,
An update on Jose Luis Aguilar.
It is a miracle that he is still alive. He is being scheduled
for quadruple bypass surgery either today or tomorrow. It is a
miracle that he was able to leave the hospital in Tijuana and
cross the border by ambulance and make it to Sharp Memorial.
Tijuana hospital misdiagnosed his condition and didn't even
believe he had a heart attack. They most certainly would have
mistreated the problem and sent him away to his death. Please
pray for Jose and his family as they place themselves in God's
hands.
Take care,
Tim
