Uphold the work of Life in Abundance Trust, thanking God for the children’s classes and the new opportunity to have them one day a week in a rural setting, with horse riding therapy. Pray for the group of women who recently had two days of intensive training in working with abused women and pray for the right person to head up this ministry. Remember Uriel and Lina: Lina looks after the PEPE Christian pre-school in Laura Flores.

Pray for Jill Ball in Santo Domingo, that she would know an intimate walk with God as well as having loyal friends. Pray for the Women’s Project, thanking God for Ernesto, a church member who has given his land specifically for this work. Thank God too for good initial meetings with Paz y Esperanza, who have developed work among abused women in Peru, and are now in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Jill is in the UK 30 June–31 Oct.

Pray for Wilmer, president of LIAT in Ecuador, thanking God for the skills he brings into the Charity. He is a committed member of the Baptist church, and an engineer. Uriel coordinates the Charity and leads the Northern Baptist church. Uphold him and Lina.

Jill Ball in Santo Domingo asks prayer for the school for disabled children and its teachers in this new academic year, and for the building of a centre for abused women. Pray for the administrators of this centre, and ask God to continue to prosper the work of LIAT, the Life in Abundance (Ecuador) Trust.
