Continue to pray for the Draysons in our link diocese

News and Prayer Requests from Nick and Catherine Drayson, Suffragan Bishop of Northern Argentina.

Dear Down & Dromore

Thank you so much for your prayers and support in these days!

We have been here one year now and Bishop Nick has now managed to visit nearly all the Indian communities for which he has responsibility. He is trying to listen carefully to the needs of the different areas.

We praise God that the Toba New Testament has been handed over to the Toba people, but due to a delay at the printers only one copy was delivered! Please pray that the remaining copies of the NT will soon reach them, and for Bishop David Leake and Mike Browne as they promote/ enable its understanding and reading.

We thank God for a successful Youth Alpha with the Criollo church in Ingeniero Juarez, and ask that you would pray for effective follow up

Please pray for Catherine as this coming next two weeks she is being joined by Mercedes Tarragona and Carolina McLean from the St Mark's Anglican Church in Hurlingham (Buenos Aires). They are coming to listen, learn and offer some teaching on the development of children's’ spiritual education, Sunday school etc. They will also be attending a women's conference to be held in Santa Teresa and will be visiting some 10 Indian communities. Please especially pray for Catherine, with the arrangements, driving etc and for them that they will be innovative and creative in their approach. Much prayer and thinking needs to be done, long term to provide effective spiritual guidance for parents and children alike, and in way which is culturally relevant.

Bishop Nick and Catherine
