• Pray for Moses and Amie, a Jehovah's Witness couple who have come to our house a few times. Sean has been sharing with them (while they were trying to share with Sean) and they have been writing down many verses to look up that Sean has recommended. They have promised to really study these verses and have also borrowed books on the trinity, etc. Please pray that they will come to realize the truth in scripture, that they will come to see that Jesus is not an angel, but God himself, and the only way to salvation.
  
• Pray for Sean who is arriving at LAX in the next few hours, that he will have a fruitful first week and will be blessed by the class he will be starting on Monday
• Pray for Jessica with the kids back in Manila for this week, and for a safe flight as they travel on Friday May 19.
• Pray for Pastor Rod who will continue the bible study in our house these next few weeks.
