Praise & Prayer Update May 10th

It's been an exciting week here leading up to the Global Day of Prayer. We encourage you to tune in to God TV any time on Sunday May 11th to see prayer events from all over the world. Let us unite together as one Bride to cry out for Jesus and all that's on His heart!

Praises:
  • Our prayer times as a couple are becoming less tedious and more enjoyable! May the Lord continue to allow our hearts and minds to unite in worship, praise and intercession.
  • $500 more of language school support has been deposited. Praise the Lord for His provision! May we be faithful with all that He gives us and treat all of our finances as if they belong to Him. It looks like H will be able to spend from June 5 to June 29th without having any work commitments. She plans to spend time time focusing on prayer, language, and strategic outreach. H's friend and accountability partner is currently at language school about 6 hours away, and H is thinking about spending a week with her working on strategies to reach women in our region.
  • Although school and upcoming exams are currently taking up a lot of our time, the Lord is giving us ways to share with and serve our students and co-workers
Prayers:
  • D needs to change his flight schedule so that he can stay here until all his students complete their exams. Pray that he will be able to find affordable and available flights back to the US.
  • Students are getting restless and ready for summer break, although school doesn't finish til May 30th! May the Lord give us strength and perseverance as it is difficult to deal with whining students, lack of water, frequent power outages and the overwhelmed administration. May we have the attitude of Christ Jesus throughout all the trials!
  • May the Lord have favor on H's visa which is "processing." She has to wait four weeks, which is after her current visa expires, to get her next update. May the Lord give us faith that HE will oversee this situation.
  • May the Lord guide us in HIS strategy to reach the millions of lost people in this region
  • H was reading this week about how many women have come to Christ through dreams, visions, prophetic words, and witnessing miraculous healing. May the Lord help us to always be willing and available to pray and minister to people that we meet. May He grant many dreams and visions of Him that would lead them to a personal relationship through Jesus Christ. May the Lord give us faith to pray for healing in the name of Jesus.
