Celebrate new years across the world

from itechnews

My ministry at Wooster Grace allows me to think across timezones. As you prepare to bring in 2012, please set reminders to pray for missionaries in the far reaches of the world.

On December 31, you can pause to bring in the new year and to pray for missionary partners from around the world.

• At noon you can celebrate with our Grace Place orphan children & widows in Cambodia and Thailand. You can also pray for our missionary partners, Kevin & Jill Kane and Steve & Deb Wise in Cambodia. Moreover, pray for M & M who serve in SE Asia in a restricted nation.
• At 1pm you can celebrate with K & C in a restricted nation in Central Asia where God's Word is hindered by governments and where God's people meet amid persecution, imprisonment, even death. 
• At 5pm, you can join R & Y as they celebrate the coming of 2012 in a restricted nation in Central Asia. Please pray for God to build His Church amid restrictions. 
• At 6pm you can join a litany of places across Europe & Africa:
• Bangui, Central African Republic where orphan care children and their families will gather together at Project Hope & Charite; 
• Project Timothy family Sylvain & Herodia Sangessere and their new child; 
• Dr Francois Ngoumape & the Seminary faculty and students; 
• ICDI staff like Nanga & Marcellin along with orphans in their care with VisionTrust; 
• our friends Matthias & Melina Ezel in Moundou, Chad;
• George & Cindy Swain in Prague, Czech Republic
• Rainer & Susanne Ehmann in Stuttgart, Germany
• R & N in Europe
• Dave & Susie Hobert in Montceau-les-Mines, France
• At 7pm, Tim & Julie Hawkins along with Alfredo & Rita Abreu in Porto, Portugal
• At 9pm, Bruce, Lisa, Jon, & Maria Triplehorn will bring in the new year in Uberlandia, Brasil.
• At 10pm, Edson & Ivanise, our friends in Curico, Chile will start their new year.
• At midnight when we celebrate the new year, many friends in the East will also look forward to a new year with anticipation of God's great work--friends like Nathan & Julie Bryant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Jesus & Rosa Munoz in Valrico, Florida. 
• At 2am, Arnold & Bessie Betoney bring in the new year in Albuquerque, NM ministering to Native American Indians. My parents and sister live in NM too. Please pray for them as well as my friends, Oliver & Cheryl Edwards in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.
• At 3am, Phil & Elizabeth Bryant complete the list of missionary partners bringing in 2012. The Bryants serve in Surrey, BC, Canada.

So there you go! You can celebrate the new year from noon til' the wee hours of the morning. You could celebrate new years for 15 hours! So set your calendar to celebrate around the world and impact nations for Christ as you pray for our missionaries.
