    Missionary of the Week

    Our MidAmericas Area Member Development

    and Care Program is gaining momentum! The

    importance of having in-field Member Develop-

    ment as a way to significantly decrease attrition

    rates has been recognized by our director.

    (World-wide for all mission agencies, attrition is

    nearly 50% during the first four years of service.)

    Our coordinator who developed this model

    is doing a presentation for an international

    group this summer.

    Tim went to Southern Sonora, Mexico, with two

    area members to visit a Uto-Aztecan tribe, who

    until recently have been resistant to outsiders

    and the gospel. After having been prayed over in

    the name of Jesus, several people of their tribe,

    including an elder, experienced healing. This

    elder identified several areas where a Pioneers

    team could help them. Please pray for God to

    raise up a new team of missionaries prepared for

    this work.

    1. Pray for our MidAmericas Area Conference in

    August. This happens every two years and is

    a great time of fellowshipping, worshipping,

    learning, and networking.

    2. Pray for grace for one of our area couples who

    has had a terrible tragedy in their family.

    3. Pray for God to provide new team members to

    serve with us at the area office in Tucson.
