This photo of the Novō Bolivia team (minus the Penner family who return in September) was taken earlier this week at the home of Walter and Chavela Vaca. Walter and Chavela are crucial national ministry partners, and Chavela serves as Novō's Administrator. It's been brilliant to really see our broader team start to connect and set to work to see God's Kingdom come in and through Novō.

NOVŌ PRAYER PARTNERS
We’re looking for a core group of Novō Prayer Partners who will commit to praying intentionally with us in response to specific requests. This is an essential role in our ministry, helping us to remain in a place of dependence on God and keep us rooted in his vision for the ministry.
Becoming a Novō Prayer Partner would involve:
- Praying in response to our short and focused PRAYER UPDATES via email. These will be driven by specific felt needs, but we expect them to be roughly weekly.
- Joining us in occasional PRAYER FOCUS DAYS, where we encourage you to set aside three short periods throughout the day, and maybe fast a meal or two, to pray for our residents, staff and more.
If you would like to become a Novō Prayer Partner, please email us by replying to this email or to Rachel Burton rachel@novocommunities.org.

We're thrilled that José is back in Bolivia after 10 months training at Yeldall Manor in the UK. At the heart of Novō's vision is a calling to equip and train national leaders to build local teams which can respond to the addiction needs of their communities. Please pray for José! And please pray God will call together a brilliant team to work with him at Quinta Totaices.
