Drs Anita and Rick Gutierrez are both family physicians and are serving as global servants in South Africa. The focus of their ministry is to train and equip local individuals, who are known as health builders, to make a difference in both the physical and spiritual health of their community. The health builders receive training to educate and assist those with health problems such as HIV/AIDS, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and malaria. They also promote healthy eating and good nutrition by teaching gardening skills and how to care for poultry. This work is done in the name of Jesus, and it is through this work and Bible study groups that disciples for Christ are being made in South Africa.  

• Specific prayer requests requested are for a woman they work with named J. She has been involved as a Spiritist and Traditional Healer for many years. Through Bible study with her and other students Anita and Rick have been able to share with her about what the Bible has to say about these types of practices. Pray for her to have an open heart to follow Christ completely.  
• Please pray for Anita and Rick as they minister to the people of South Africa. Pray also for their two sons, Mark and Paul, who are both young adults living in the United States.
