This week's praise reports and prayer requests from Nazarene Missions International, JESUS Film Harvest Partners, and NCN News include:


PRAISES

Poqomchi' Bibles
On January 22, 2010, the first copies of the Bible in the Poqomchi' language will be delivered to Nazarene leaders in Tactic, Guatemala, where a leadership training will take place. The Poqomchi' translation was 20-years in the making and a single-voice narration of the JESUS Film was also completed recently in Poqomchi'. Pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Poqomchi' people of Guatemala. (NMI)

JESUS Film - Argentina
"The Lord placed a great burden on my heart for this place," said Pastor Eduardo in Argentina. "I sensed I should start a new neighborhood work. So I asked the JESUS Film team to come and help me. We began to show the JESUS Film and little by little people drew near. We could see the tears falling down the faces of the people as they felt deep pain for the lives they had been living. The Holy Spirit was working in their hearts. It was wonderful to see how the people came forward at the invitation and fell to their knees asking God to help them change their lives. An entire family turned their lives over to Christ. The Lord restored their marriage and broke the chains that had tied their sons to a life a drugs. Today they are a family that shares the gospel unceasingly. Their home is a place where people go daily to hear this family share the gospel. I thank God for this family and for the JESUS Film as it is a valuable tool for reaching the lost."

JESUS Film - Cuba
"The family asked us to go with them to the hospital," said a team member in Cuba. "We were working in a specific community when they asked us to take the woman to the hospital. On the way, we told them about God's love. In the midst of a difficult time, they became new believers in Jesus."

JESUS Film - Sudan
"The man promoted tribal conflict," said a team leader in Sudan. "The man attended a JESUS Film showing and met Christ. He confessed to the Lord and asked for forgiveness as he had been a man who caused trouble. Now he testifies to promote the good news of Jesus. Pray for him that God will use him to reach many people."

GLOBAL CONCERNS

Haiti Earthquake
Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers. It has been nearly two weeks since an earthquake struck the island nation causing death, destruction, and immense heartache. It will take years for the nation to rebuild. This is the time to continue to pray that God would give strength to those holding onto life and hope that those trapped may be found quickly. Continue to pray that food and water gets to the people and that God would give them strength during this time.  For more information, see ncm.org/haitiearthquake. (NMI)
