Danilo

It is with heavy hearts that we tell you the latest news from Danilo, ex-CEP student. He has been told by the doctors that his cancer is terminal. He has decided not to go ahead with aggressive chemotherapy, so that he will be well enough to continue sharing the news of salvation in Jesus for the time that he has left. He is ready to face God as his judge—are you?

CEP
The CEP students have one more week of classes before end of year exams. Stephen has a growing pile of marking, but only a few more classes to prepare for this year. The staff are working hard to evaluate and refine the course for next year.

Other news
Stephen has had the opportunity to preach at the CEP, our church and at a new church plant which is now led by César Guzmán. He is also preparing his doctoral thesis for publication in 2009, which is proving to be very time-consuming.

Give thanks...

• For all that the CEP students have learned this year.
• For Danilo’s commitment to and love for Jesus.

Please pray...

• For Danilo and his family as they come to terms with the news, and that there may yet be a miraculous healing.
• For the CEP students as they prepare for their exams.
• For the students who are graduating, as decisions are made about ministry placements for 2009.
• For wisdom for Stephen and the other teachers at CEP as they plan the course for next year.

Now when this corruptible is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: Death has been swallowed up in victory. -- 1 Corinthians 15:54

Liliana and Ben both had very happy birthdays in October.
