Praise and Prayer for February 20, 2009


We appreciate so much your prayers. This week we need prayer for good health for each one of us. Yesterday, Caleb came down with some kind of bug and during the night he awoke with a high fever and vomiting. The Bible Institute was off this week, but is back next week. Cherith recorded accompaniment and voice parts for the songs that Institute groups are learning. The corrections to the Sango hymnal blues are finished. Jonathan has a helper for his SS class this Sunday who will be teaching the class for the first time with coaching.

Emmanuel and Sylvie moved to Reims after Emmanuel’s graduation from the Bible Institute, in response to the church inviting him to do a one and a half year pastoral internship here. Along with giving Emmanuel local church ministry experiences, a further goal in having them here for this period is to give them and the church time to determine the Lord’s will concerning calling them as their first national pastor. Pray for a fruitful internship that brings glory to God and for guidance for each step. They are experiencing special needs at this time since Sylvie lost her job in January. Pray that the church would be a help and encouragement to them at this time and that they will see God’s provision for work.

Praise for:
- the progress for the Sango Hymnal.
- the Fischers’ presence and ministry here in Reims.
- Mom Teachout qualifying for a type of oxygen that is breath activated.

Pray for:
- Salvation for P.W. and for several who are attending church who have not made decisions yet.
- Jonathan as he studies and prepares for several French and Sango messages and Bible studies coming up.
- a special Singspiration service that will take place at church on Saturday with participation from several sister churches in northern France.
- healing for Caleb and for the rest of us not to catch this “bug”.
