Ministry: Mike & Michelle were working with the Yanoma tribal group in Venezuela for some time when the Lord saw fit to close that door. Their ministry has been transferred across the globe to Papua New Guinea, where they serve alongside Ata tribal believers to plant churches and translate scripture into other tribal languages.
Prayer: Now that Mike has completed his language acquisition in Ata, please pray for wisdom as he and the Ata church elders make plans to proceed in training and vision for reaching other language groups. Pray too for Michelle as she continues to learn Ata and home-schools her boys.

Children: Elisabeth, Micah, Abigail, Hannah, Bethany, Rachel, and Josiah
Ministry: Dan was ordained and commissioned to missionary service at Branson Bible, after serving here for a time as Youth Pastor. The Andersons moved to northeast Brazil in 1998 and continue there in church planting. Dan also assists with a seminary that meets in their first church plant in Clima Bom.
Prayer: Please pray for Dan and Linda as they work in planting a new church in their neighborhood, Jardim Petropolis, and pray for wisdom and patience as they home-school their children.
Alexander & Lilia Romaniuk
