Details: Ruthie and Jon want to thank Parkside for praying for them and for the ministry of Ambassadors Football. In the past 17 years God has expanded Ambassadors growth to more than 20 nations having an impact for Christ stretching from Ohio to Outer Mongolia. Please continue to lift Ambassadors up to the Lord. Macedonia Arena is in Phase I. The foundation has been laid and steel is being erected at the new facility in Macedonia. Please pray that Ambassador’s will be able to get into the building in early January. Please pray for the Rwanda Project. Ambassadors have entered into a partnership with the largest protestant denomination in Rwanda, with approximately 3 million people in over 3000 churches. Ambassadors are targeting boys and girls ages 6-12 with a curriculum delivered orally which should help the children grow up with a biblical world view. Pray for wisdom and the resources needed to train Rwandans to work in the 156 primary schools spread across one of Africa's most densely populated nations. Maharashtra (India). At least 73 peoples remain unreached and unengaged. Many Hindu caste groups and the Mahar have little opportunity to hear the gospel; major church growth and revival are blocked by caste barriers. Muslims number 12 million in the state, including 2 million in Mumbai. There is a lack of outreach, of workers, of awareness of their needs and of Scripture in their languages and dialects. Tribal groups are responding to the gospel. While the presence of Christian ministry among the tribal groups has increased, so has opposition. The 1.5 million Jains and 150,000 Parsees in their wealthy religious communities remain unevangelized.
