MRSA Update
MRSA has lived up to its reputation of being very hard to cure. We thought Doug was in the clear, but instead he has had multiple reoccurrences. In case you're interested in learning more about this terrible disease, we have compiled a short informational piece on our website. We encourage you to review it. Doug is on a new antibiotic. Pray with us that it does the trick.

SHARE the Warmth Update
Three churches, Market Street Baptist, First Congregational Church, and Hope Community, and the New England Unit of the drama ministry The Covenant Players have gotten on board the Share the Warmth Clothing Drive! We are still looking for laundered, gently used jackets, sweatshirts, and other warm clothing items. The last day to donate items is November 7th. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed. This has been a great success!

STELLA
Caroline's mother, Rev. Stella L. Mosqueda, took a fall on October 2nd and broke her hip. Though the break and incision healed beautifully, there were many complications in the weeks following the surgery. Stella developed blood clots in her lungs, and the blood thinner caused her to bleed internally. Last week, Stella was finally able to begin physical therapy, but the struggle isn't over. Before the accident, Stella had a "good" leg and a "bad" leg. The good leg is the one that broke, so the bad leg, deformed by the effects of osteomyelitis, is now being forced to serve as the good leg. This is very hard and painful! She really needs our prayer support. Your encouraging cards would also be appreciated, and may be sent to our home address. Stella is unknown to most of you, but those who do know her understand the important role she has played in Doug's life and ministry. She is very much a part of the ministry of New Brothers Fellowship.

IN Closing
In our last iNBrieF, we said we were "looking forward to a busy Fall." Well, so far, that's exactly what we're getting, and it's a beautiful Fall, too.
Caroline recently had the opportunity to have coffee with a couple that has supported NBF since the very beginning. In fact, they were the very first individuals to make a monthly pledge. They then shared the ministry with their church and encouraged their mission's board to support us, too. Five years later, they continue to give, encourage, and pray. We are so grateful for the people God has sent to partner with us in this work.
Next week we are welcoming home our niece and her new husband, Nic and Allison Parker. They are returning from "Down Under," Nic's home country, where they spent the first four months of married life. We were not able to attend the wedding (in Australia!), so we are excited to finally see the happy couple in person. Pray for the Parkers as they get settled in New England.
Hannah is having a very good second year at Mount Zion International School Of Ministry. Today (10/27) she will be singing with the school choir at Times Square Church, where they minister twice a year. If you are interested, they are streaming the service live. Check it out here: http://www.tscnyc.org. We've posted her address down below, in case you'd like to send her a note of encouragement. Thank you for remembering Hannah in prayer.
In a few weeks, we will celebrate our fifth year as the directors of New Brothers Fellowship. In that time, many lives have been reached with the gospel, and many men have made a life-changing decision for Christ. It continues to be a great privilege to serve the Lord in prison and in prison aftercare. We are so grateful to God for this opportunity to be His hands extended. It is such a joy for us to do the work of God! Thank you for praying for us, and thank you for praying for these men who are so dear to the Father that He sent His only Son just for them. May many more hear this Good News in the years to come!
In Him Alone,
Doug and Caroline Gregan
