OUTREACH Prayer Update
November 2015

Our church planters depend on the prayers and encouragement of God's people. OUTREACH NORTH AMERICA provides this monthly prayer letter to inform you of some of their specific needs and praises so you will know better how to pray for them. Thank you for your prayers and the interest you show by your phone and e-mail responses. Your prayers truly encourage your church planters. (See the bottom of this e-mail for a summary of all the mission churches included in this update.)

In general

The ONA Board meeting is November 17-18. Please pray for safety for all of the members traveling and for a fruitful meeting.
