Jerry and Kathleen Coy ask that you be praying for them during this extremely busy time of year. March is the month that the school year begins in Chile and families are returning from vacation.

April 5 and 6 will be a special weekend for approximately 90 to 100 people from El Retiro church (the church the Coys work with) in La Serena, Chile.  This church reaches out to professionals, one of the country’s least evangelized groups.  This particular weekend missionary Jerry Coy will coordinate a team with several national leaders as they seek to encourage and  motivate both new converts and more mature Christians.  Please pray for the retreat.  Ask God to protect those attending, to stir hearts for missions, and to bless El Retiro church as they learn to reach out and start new groups.   

Also pray for Jerry as he trains a group of seven lay leaders to lead, teach, and preach in both small groups and in a larger congregational setting.  These leaders are professionals, very busy during the work week, but feel called to shepherd their peers and to be used by God in Kingdom work.  Pray for spiritual protection, for motivation during challenges, and for excitement as they experience God’s blessing.  Especially ask God to develop in them a missionary heart.
