Praise and Prayer for November 14, 2008

We are so thankful for our children and for the opportunities of outreach that God has given to us through them. Adrianna is our vibrant five year old. She has had the opportunity last year and this year to attend the local pre-school and kindergarten, helping her to learn the French language and develop friendships with children and adults in our neighborhood. We see in her developing a love for others and a burden for their salvation. Adrianna has talked to her friends at school about God and we have encouraged her to continue to share with them as she has opportunity. She is learning to be more thoughtful of others, desiring that they see Christ’s love in her. She has been invited to several Birthday parties where her gifts include some kind of Bible storybook. Through Adrianna, we have had opportunities to befriend teachers and some of the parents through daily contact and involvement in the parent-teacher meetings.

Please pray for us that God would give us wisdom in reaching these parents and their children for Him. We pray that some of the children will be allowed to come to Sunday school with Adrianna some day and that the Lord will use this to reach the parents as well. At Christmas, we have a special opportunity to share a gift with some of these families and our neighbors with a message of God’s Gift to the world. Our Christmas program at church is a celebration of Christ’s birth as well as an outreach to the community (though space is a problem!). Adrianna will be singing at church in our Christmas program, and we pray some of her friends will be able to attend.

Praise for:
- our children and the doors they have opened in our ministry.
- relationships God has given us with parents and teachers from Adrianna’s school.
- Caleb’s improved health after a bout with the flu last weekend.

Pray for:
- the spiritual needs of families with whom we have contact.
- wisdom in sharing and ability to communicate the Good News.
- our Christmas program at church and that some of Adrianna’s friends would come.
