Take Time Today to Pray!

Prayer is Your Missionaries Greatest Need! July, 2014

Our retired missionaries

                Virgil and Dolores Bunjer, retired from Germany and living in Ankeny, IA, helping minister to Senior missionaries for Baptist Mid-Missions.  Travel! That sums up the Bunjer’s lives since their last report. There was the wedding, 2 funerals, trips to the yet unsold property in Ottumwa, visits to Drs., and family visits. Thank God for safety and that they stay well.

                Louis  Miller, retired builder, living at Manning needs our prayers and encouragement. To contact him: c/o The Manning Plaza, 410 Main St.Manning, IA51455, or e-mail plazaresident@mrhcia.com , and put in the subject line: Louis Miller.

                Allen and Marilyn Adler, Native American ministry, Townsend, MT They returned from their fill-in ministry in Kenora (Feb. through April), and they are sad that the missionary ladies who had been helping hold things together in Kenora feel led to a Baptist Mid-Missions work in Regina, Saskatchewan, and the Moirs have resigned from Baptist Mid-Missions. The couple is planning to live and work in Kenora, however, and have a burden for the  Native people there. But Berean Baptist Church of Kenora has closed, and the small congregation is very sad – as are the Adlers. Keep praying for the lost Native Americans!
