Prayers
Please pray for the Naumanns as they transition to living and serving in South Asia, learning the new culture and language. Pray for God’s provision of a good education for the boys. Pray that the Word of God bears abundant fruit as Edward proclaims it through his teaching. Pray the hearts of people here in the United States are moved to pray for and to financially support the Naumanns so they can “go with” this family on their journey of faith. Let us give thanks to God that this family is serving His children in this part of the world.
