January 22, 2009 Prayer Requests

1) Borana Prayer Team-We are still trying to increase our prayer support. We have set a goal
of 1000 prayer partners. We are now at 341. Please ask for God to increase our prayer support and ask your friends if they would like to pray for our ministry. We faced many difficult challenges when we lived up north. Satan does not want us to be able to live there and work among the Borana. Our prayer support base is a VITAL part of our ministry.

2) Chronological Bible Storying Conference-We are in the process of planning a Chronological Bible Storying Conference for Evangelical Victory Church. Pray for the conference and the planning of it to go well.

3) Salvation-Please continue to pray for the salvation of the children who attended the VBS in December. 200+ children responded positively to the invitation and we need to follow up with these kids to determine which ones are really ready to make this important decision.

4) Adoption-Please continue to pray for our adoption. We anticipate the Embassy approving our I-600 before the end of February. Pray that it will be approved. If it is approved, we should be able to schedule a court date for our case to be heard by the Kenya Government.
5) Housing-We have been house sitting for a friend who is in the USA on furlough. He will return in the middle of March. We need to find a new place to live and be able to pay the rent. We also need to buy some furniture.

6) Vehicle-We have just returned the car we have been borrowing. So we now need to acquire a vehicle. We are excited about our work with Evangelical Victory Church in Huruma, but it is a 45 minute drive for us to get there. If we take public transportation we will easily spend 2 hours getting there, in other words, 4 hours round trip. It will be a much more efficient use of our time if we have our own vehicle and can travel there directly.
