"One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4

Pray for Prayer!

To all of you who keep updated through the blog, we'd appreciate prayers for us - that we would keep praying!

The other day it seemed like the enemy would use anything to keep us from pressing in. We have committed to pray together an hour every day, although we're still having trouble getting back into that groove. Duarte was sick with a fever and a headache, and we knew we needed to pray together despite his health. As soon as we started to pray, the electricity went out. Now that may not seem like a big deal, but as soon as the power goes out the summer heat starts to seep through the walls and attack its intended victims. After ten minutes without AC or the fan we were sweating and having trouble focusing on the Lord.

Then I finally opened up the Bible and started praying from the Word. We still felt weak, but we were able to persevere until the electricity came back on. The hotter it is, the more the electricity goes out because there's just not enough energy produced here.

So please lift us up, that we would pray no matter how hot it is, or how busy we are, or what village we're off in!
