Andrew & Kim Stave, staff of Lithuania Christian College, are Friends Serving Abroad for Northwest Yearly Meeting. A third child recently entered their family: Greta was born October 6 and is doing well.

Johan & Judy Maurer are Northwest Yearly Meeting Friends Serving Abroad. Among other things, they teach English at the New Humanities Institute and practice hospitality. They are awaiting work visas which will enable them to work in Russia uninterrupted for a full year.

We recently had the opportunity to talk with the Neifert family via Skype during the morning worship service. Patrick and Christy and their children live and work in Haifa, Israel with Cross Media Ministries, broadcasting the hope and joy that comes through faith in Jesus Christ to the Arab world, mostly through internet radio and television. They are sent out as Friends Serving Abroad from the Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends Churches. One of their biggest prayer needs right now is the need for broader financial support for their ministry to continue. Please consider whether God is leading your family to begin (or to increase) monthly support of the Neifert family. Even little amounts go a long way as we join together.
