July/August 2006 Dear Pastor, Saints and Praying Friends,

Sorry for the delayed update from the Moore family! I try to send monthly reports to our supporting churches and faithful prayer warriors, but occasionally it doesn’t work out as planned. This time last month, I had printer problems and my laptop in for warranty repair service. As I write, it seems we are in a period of time where we have more questions than answers. Right now, we covet your prayers that as we are busy traveling and visiting churches, at the same time that we would simply rest and listen and wait on the Lord for His will and timing and specific direction. Will you pray with us for direction in several areas?

Scheduling of meetings. When our departure date should be. Scheduling paperwork and procedures for our sponsorship and visa, and our schedule. When/with whom to purchase airline tickets and preparations for packing for the trip. More Moores:We recently confirmed one of our suspicions. On or about March 26th of next year we will be expecting little Moore #7! We are excited and thankful for this good news, however we ask your intercession for Mom and baby as we have a busy travel schedule these next 7 months or so. We also covet your prayers concerning how this will affect our departure date. In addition to recovery time for Mom, there is also birth certificate, passport, visa and necessary paperwork to complete for baby. We would ask you to pray with us for the Lord’s perfect timing for the birth of baby – Ann sometimes carries a little longer than average and this also would be a determining factor in scheduling meetings as well as a departure date.

Deputation Updates & Travels:Through the months of July and August, our schedule kept us primarily in Texas, with a brief trip to Louisiana. We have been in churches regularly, but we’ve had to use some of the unscheduled times to just “drop in” and visit a couple churches, plus I’ve spent several weeks of heavy calling scheduling future meetings, and from mid September to mid December, we have a quite busy and full schedule.Container Shipment:We ask your prayer concerning a container of Bibles, Scripture portions, tracts, Correspondence Courses cards and literature being prepared for Colombia. We appreciate the BEAMS (Bible Education and Missionary Service, Gulfport, MS) for donating 48 whole Spanish Bibles and Jesse and Maggie Coley with Bearing Precious Seed donating 3,000 illustrated Gospels of John and some Bibles as well to be shipped to Colombia! Colombian Newspaper Ad:To date, over 5,300 requests for the first Bible correspondence course have been received and mailed out, and over 1,500 of the second and following courses have been graded and mailed out as well. Pray for souls to be saved and converts to be discipled. Pray for the Ayas as they work with the converts to equip and train them to plant Colombian churches! Prayer Challenge:

"Nothing would turn the nation back to God so surely and so quickly as a Church that prayed and prevailed. The world will never believe in a religion in which there is no supernatural power. A rationalized faith, a socialized Church, and a moralized gospel may gain applause, but they awaken no conviction and win no converts." Samuel Chadwick – The Path of Prayer

The Lord Bless You Richly as You Serve Him Today! The Moores to Colombia
