Final VBC Missionary Update (for now)

The importance of prayer was one of the key principles brought out by Valley Bible Church Missions Conference keynote speaker Kameel Kilada. The church body had a chance to put that into practice on the closing night of the conference, when the attending missionaries shared prayer requests.

Roger & Diana Ward / TEAM - Mexico

The Ward's desire as missionaries to Mexico is to aid in the planting of national churches. Their specific duty has been working in the Church, training, discipleship, counseling, and youth ministry, with the goal of equipping the nationals to do carry on the ministry. Roger & Diana work in the Church La Paz de Cristo in Baja California Sur, and are looking forward to returning to La Paz in August to continue their ministry.

Praise for their first missionary term. Please pray for phnysical and emotional strength. Pray for wisdom in prioritizing their time. Pray that they would be a blessing while on furlough. Pray for training of leaders. Pray for a camp to be started. Pray for guidance in the future. Pray for some of their children remaining Stateside.
