Praise and Prayer for February 13, 2009


Last Friday, we received the “blues” for the Sango hymnal, Bia ti Sepala Nzapa, from the printer in MI. Pray for Jonathan, as he needs time to carefully go through each of these pre-print pages to approve them for the final printing. There are many people in the CAR who are eagerly awaiting this new edition. We put up a wall mural last weekend in Cherith’s SS classroom with the children’s cutout silhouettes and pictures. The children love it! In the SS lesson last week, Adrianna’s class learned that even the wind obeyed Jesus’ word. This week there was a windstorm that affected all of northern France. There was a tree down in the road where we were traveling, and we had to wait for the road crew to remove it. Praise the Lord for His protection of His people and for the reminder of God’s power.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Adrianna and Caleb helped us cut out heart shaped cookies and then decorate them. This morning Adrianna took them to school to share with her teachers and classmates. One neighbor has shared with us of a nephew who is receiving medical care, but whose suffering has caused great concern to his parents and to her. She expressed appreciation for our prayers for each of them. Pray for the continued contact and relationships we build with Adrianna’s teachers, fellow parents, and with neighbors.

Praise for:
- opportunities to share with the people around us here.
- three individuals that have offered to help teach Cherith’s SS class.

Pray for:
- a solution to our drivers license situation. We should be able to receive French licenses, but Jonathan was told Friday that we do not qualify. However, our US licenses are technically valid only one year.
- Sunday’s ministries: choir will be singing, S.S. classes continue and Jonathan will be preaching in the Sango Service in the afternoon.
- Mom Teachout’s health as she continues to undergo tests and is now having complications with nose bleeds.
- Cherith’s piano student who desires prayer for an unspoken request.
