John & Zarifah Cornish

1. Zorifah's Hope and Future

We are so grateful for the team of doctors and you, our prayer partners,

who are caring for Zorifah in very special ways. We greatly appreciate your

continued prayers for this new and sudden information. After the surgery they

will stage the cancer and determine how much chemo and radiation she should

have.

2. Readers of the Gospel Tracts

   I was able to get a good picture of two men reading the Gospel tract in

sincerity. The Spanish man was intently reading the tract, but the Chinese man

sitting next to him was looking around wondering what people would think. But

seeing the sincerity of the Spanish man he also read it with great interest.

Only God knows the impact that this is having on the lives of so many who take

it and read it.

Pray for Dr Marc Wooten and students in 2 classes at 2 locations, August 3-8 and August 10-15.

We would like to continue sending reminders to the 3 VanWart children to let them know we have not “forgotten” them and are praying. 

We have a sign-up list at the Hub for anyone who would like to help with sending baked goods to the twins or milk free items to Nate. 

The girls at the two camps were quite popular on the day of delivery! Thank you for your help as we minister to these missionary kids!  

If you are not a baker and would like to help, let Dave Bates know, and we will chat about how we can use Amazon Prime to deliver items to them.

Dave's email address is DaveBates77@gmail.com          

There is another a sign-up sheet at the Hub for folks that would like to receive either of two things. First, if you would like us to forward Missionary Prayer request newsletters received by the missions committee, we can forward them to you in your email. That way you can see all the details and stories shared by missionaries in real time.

Second, there is a column that you can check if you would like to receive the monthly summary of Missionary Prayer Requests in your email. That way you have an easy-to-follow outline of prayer requests from missionaries, updated each month.  Feel free to check either column or both. It will help you pray for specific needs.

Thanks for praying for our missionaries!!
