Praise and Prayer for May 8, 2010

The big project this week has been re-doing the wallpaper in the hallway. It has needed doing since we moved in three years ago but we have never had the time to get it done. With Jessica here with us for only a precious few more weeks, we are taking advantage of the window in our schedule and her presence to get it done this week. Here we are at the end of the week, tired, sore and nearly at the end of the project! One of our couples from church that is also part of the Sango Outreach moved to a new apartment in town this week and we were able to help by watching their three-year-old son for the day. Caleb especially enjoyed the time with his friend.

Jonathan had an encouraging conversation with one of our neighbors this week. M. asked for information about our church and expressed interest in coming to one of our services. We look forward to seeing her there and pray she will come to know our Savior.

This Sunday Jonathan and I will both teach Sunday School. Sunday noon, Jessica and our family will be the dinner guests of one of the families from the church. Pray we will be an encouragement to this family. In the evening, we will have the Sango service and trust we will see some of the new contacts.

Praise for:
- the opportunity this week and the physical strength to get the hallway re-papered.
- a good six month check up for Josiah.
- good contact with our neighbor this week and for her interest in visiting our church.

Pray for:
- Jonathan as he prepares for the Church Music workshop with church leaders on May 15.
- opportunities to witness in our community and as Jonathan accompanies Adrianna’s class this Tuesday on a field trip to the Reims Planetarium.
- guidance as to our future ministry.
- M. to visit our church and that the Lord will open her heart to receive the Good News!
