"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

Praise & Prayer Update

Things seem to be coming together for our summer plans, and we are getting anxious to finish up with the school year and get on to the summer break.

Praises:
  • $650 of support for language school has been deposited into our bank account. Since H now plans to stay in the city and take language classes, this should cover the costs of 2-3 months of part-time tutoring. Praise the Lord! Any other support received will go towards more hours of language classes, study materials, and helping to pay the bills since H has committed to work less than 20 hrs/week in order to focus on language, prayer and outreach.
  • H was able to schedule workshops for the summer at a local institute. The Lord gave her favor in meeting with the director of the institute and she was able to get all of her visa renewal materials ready and mailed out.
  • Two more young women have arrived in our city to focus on reaching women for Christ. Praise the the Lord that he is sending laborers for the harvest.
Prayer:
  • That D's flights would be confirmed and tickets purchased within the next few days
  • That we would have quality time together in prayer and building on our marriage before D heads back to the states for 2 months+
  • That the Lord would give both of us favor as we process our visas
  • That the Lord would provide for this country, as half the population currently can not afford enough to eat
  • That the Lord would help us not to be wasteful and to spend all of our money as if it is His
  • That the Lord would give us opportunities to bless people around us with physical provision in a way that clearly glorifies His name
  • That H would find the right language tutor for the summer months
  • That the Lord would help us to finish the school year well and be a light to both students and staff
  • That God would open up the door for His word and spur many to pray on the upcoming Global Day of Prayer (May 11th - next Sunday)
In Christ,

H & D

P.S. - We would love to hear from all of you more often! Please let us know how you are doing, what the Lord is teaching you, and how we can be praying for you.
