Greg Burgess, GBIM staff in France, (seeking to produce and provide literature to the French- speaking world) reports that a graphic novel on biblical sexuality is being written to target African youth. Pray that it will influence them to live purely before God in a culture that has placed little value on sexual purity, particularly among its young men.

Gary and Linda McCaman, GBIM staff Argentina, announce the startup of a sewing ministry in their church in Berazategui.  Gary writes, “God takes the needs of the disenfranchised seriously, especially as it relates to food and clothing. We have several talented seamstresses who will be available to help people learn to sew, or assist them while they make clothes or do mending for their families. Very few people have sewing machines in this neighborhood. Other ladies from the church will be around, too, to build relationships. Please pray for this new ministry,.

Dave and Sue Griffith, GBIM staff France, report on spiritual fruit recently seen in the lives of four young men. Dave is enjoying discipling these young men, one of whom was baptized in May.

Pray for F.’s spiritual growth as they continue to study the Bible. 

Also, Dave and Susie Hobert ask prayer for their arts and crafts weekend retreat at the chateau November 21-22, that it would open many doors for sharing Christ.
