  • Wes & Nancy May 2023 Prayer Request

    Overseas ministry often requires the sharing of resources--like housing, study materials, books, technology and basic life issues and shared space. Pray that God gets the glory and thanks for such help while missionaries learn what they need for long term service. Thanks to Parkside for decades of this kind of support for many missionaries and missionary families.

     

    Thanks,

    Wes, and for Nancy

  • Wes & Nancy April 2023 Prayer Request

    I just heard from our Mam colleague, Byron. He spends much of his time training people to be involved with literacy, broadcasting, and writing—along with Bible translation. Pray for the relevance of these, especially to students and seniors.

    Thank you.

  • Wes & Nancy February 2023 Prayer Request

    Thank God for funding for ministry from multiple sources. We are grateful for those who give from sources in “the West.” We are also grateful for the Mam Indians who help fund teachers and for materials produced and purchased by the Mam themselves.


    A special thank you to Parkside for your partnership in ministry.

    Thanks so much.

  • Wes & Nancy January 2023 Prayer Requests

    It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to live in a failed state. People in Haiti and Venezuela are starving. Please pray for institutions and governments to care for their citizens, especially the very young and very old. Some of those suffering today in the Americas are former students and ongoing friends of the Collinses.

    Praise God that the Mam Indians among whom the Collinses work are helping to fund some of their own pastors and ministries. This is an important step forward for the local Church.

    Greetings from lovely North Carolina. Here is our latest prayer request.

    Thanks for praying for Wes working on his book on reading and writing Mam. As I get nearer the end,the process slows down—at least for me. Pray that editing goes well.

    Thanks,

    Pray for the Mam to be committed to the Gospel: reading the Scriptures, enjoying Mam-language music and hearing local testimonies of the faithfulness of God.

    Thanks to all of Parkside for your faithfulness in prayer.

    Best,
