Please pray for Dr. Samson and Priscilla Retnaraj as they return to Nepal this week after 3 1/2 months of deputation in the United States. Pray that God would help them readjust to their ministry work once again as they meet with leaders and renew their efforts to plant churches in the Musahar community (Isaiah 52:7).
HH Mosher Fund

1) We pray for Pastor Denny Peters (Fulton Creek Evangelical Friends Church), who is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, November 19 for a benign pituitary adenoma tumor.

2) Please join us in praying for Friends Church: Willoughby Hills and the young adults participating in Youth Explosion this weekend. We pray that lives would be impacted by the power of the Gospel and the love of Christ as they learn that "with God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).
Church Health Assessment
Many of our churches have received tremendous benefit from utilizing the Church Health Assessment created by Natural Church Development. The assessment takes the overall pulse of a church by measuring eight critical areas, such as inspiring worship, leadership empowerment, and loving relationships. A trained member of the Church Health Team will review the findings with your church leaders and provide resources for next steps to greater health.

EFC-ER will cover 50% of the $320 total cost. The church is responsible for the remaining $160. Please contact Marie Hagin to utilize this valuable tool.
