Nancy Berends | Serving primarily in Togo, West Africa, based in West Michigan
Praises
After nearly three years of work, the project to connect lab equipment directly to the hospital software in Togo has been successfully implemented! Lab results now auto-import instead of being typed manually, and both doctors and patients have already noticed shorter wait times.
God continues to bring people to Himself through the healthcare ministries — in hospitals, mobile teams, and small clinics.
I’m deeply thankful for co-workers who faithfully share the Good News even as they meet people’s physical needs.
Prayers
Pray for God to provide a new medical director, as the physician who was to begin orientation in November has withdrawn.
Pray for one of our physicians who is struggling to raise financial support, that God would meet her needs abundantly.
Pray for God to send more laborers into His harvest fields, especially where the need is great and the harvest is ripe.

Both the children’s and adults’ choir presentations drew many visitors who heard the Gospel.
