MAY PRAYER REQUESTS
May 2 – Traveling mercies. We drive to Asuncion to say good-bye to team
mates who have served in Paraguay 20 years.
May 13 – Kids’ club! Bad weather (we meet outside) and our
traveling (we haven’t figured out a way for it to happen without us), kids’
club unfortunately has been rather hit or miss.
Pray that the ladies who lead it will be refreshed and recharged with a vision
for leading the children.
May 16 – Joshua’s 9th
birthday! We plan on going camping 2 nights with a couple of our team mates sometime
in May to celebrate.
May 20 – Youth group. One of the church’s deacons has been
proactive in beginning regular youth meetings (with the encouragement of our
new in-town team mates). I just cannot help
but think that Christian teens meeting together (and inviting non- believers) is
a major key to winning San Francisco to the Lord.
May 26 – Audio Bible
Distribution. We are thrilled that 1,000
Bibles in MP3 format will be distributed in our town and a few surrounding
communities. This is a project our
co-corker (there’s a link on the right hand side) has been working on. It will take a lot of planning, preparation
and man power hand all these out in one day.
May 29 – Traveling mercies again. We will be traveling back to Asuncion to pick
up the TIME interns.
Pray for the 6 students as
their finances continue to come in and as they prepare for spending 5 weeks in
Paraguay with us.
Intern Housing. This month we will be securing housing for
the 6 interns that will be arriving in June.
Bible studies. Pray for the 2 new bible studies that the
believers have started up ON THEIR OWN (no missionary input!). We praise God that the believers are seeing
needs and sharing the gospel!
Elder/Deacons meetings. Jeff continues to meet regularly with the
elders and deacons to create a church constitution. This has been a huge task and the end is
finally in sight (they may be finished by the end of this month).
Jataity. Bad weather has no permitted to do a mobile
clinic in Jataity a while. We pray that
we will get out there this month a couple time not only to do medical work but
also to visit.
Teammates. Two sets of team mates had babies this
month. Both little girls started out
rocky, but are recovering. Pray that
they recover to full health and for their mommy’s who are recovering as
well. Pray also for a team mate who will
be flying back home for an indefinitely amount of time to care for her ailing
parents. It is always sad to see team
mates leave. She has served here 10
years.
