Praise and Prayer for February 20, 2010


We are ever thankful for your prayers for us, especially concerning our health. The Lord knows how much we have needed them these past two weeks since our last update. Since that time, we have continued to struggle with health issues. Jonathan is recovering from a second bout with stomach pain, both of which put him in bed for several days. The second bout was more serious, sending him to see our doctor on Wednesday evening. He started on prescription anti-acid medications immediately and after a very painful Thursday, began last night to feel better. The pain is nearly gone at present, but he is left weak with little appetite. We are ending the second week of the children’s winter vacation today, and they return to school Monday. Cherith has had her hands full with caring for the children, including our now four-month old Josiah, as well as a sick hubby. We are so thankful for the strength that God has given her during this time.

Praise for:
- the relief that the Lord is giving Jonathan from his stomach pain.
- good health for the rest of the family this week.
- the visit this weekend from our good friends and ministry partners, the Prodans.
- good progress in plans for the ordination/consecration weekend coming up Feb. 27,28.

Pray for:
- Jonathan’s health to be fully restored and that there wouldn’t be a relapse.
- the preparations this week for the ordination counsel and installation of Emmanuel as the new pastor.
- safety and good health for the Prodans in their travels and for a time of blessing as they visit this weekend.
- God’s direction to be clear to us for our future ministry (after home ministry in 2011).
