Prayer and Praise - October 23, 2006

Praise Reports
  • Praise God for the work He has been doing at the bridge. Many are attending a new bible study we started there and most of them have prayed to make Christ their Lord.
  • Praise God for the opportunity to do a bible study for the kids also. God is using our friend Merriam to teach the kids, and has also brought on another teacher, Josette.
  • Praise God for Doctora Henson's ministry to them through a free clinic she conducted right at the bridge this past Sunday, as well as for Ate Corlix' help that day.
  • Praise God for helping us get jobs for two men we have been ministering to: Kuya Tony, (little Angelo's dad) and also Roland, our friend Merriam's brother.

Prayer Requests
  • Please pray for our financial support. It turns out that we are now short of support by $1000 each month.
  • Pray for Grace's teacher, Christine, who is seeking the truth and has agreed to start one to one discipleship with Jessica.
  • Pray for Jessica as she starts a 6-week TESOL certification course that begins next week.
  • Jessica is also in training now to be the Business Administrator for our mission field. Pray that God helps her manage her time wisely and that she will quickly get a good grasp of the business aspects of the EFCM.
  • Please continue to pray for our ministry at the Bridge. Pray that our friends there would all grow in their new relationships with God through the bible study and personal study. By now, we must have given every single adult there a bible.
  • Pray for our children (now five of them, can you believe it?) - that God would draw them each to Himself. Pray that we would be godly parents and that He would help us to shape their hearts.
  • Pray for Sean as he finishes up his formal language classes. He is slowly starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel - with only another 10 lessons or so left!
  • Pray most importantly now for God's wisdom and direction as we plan our next steps of ministry now that language classes are coming to an end.
