Praising God 3 Jul 2009, 11:52 am

I asked for prayer for one of the women the other day who is pregnant and had an infection in her uterus. We prayed and God answered!

Today she went for an ultra-sound, and they see nothing. The tests she's had have come back negative. God has healed. We are rejoicing that once again He is showing himself to her.

Healing needed 1 Jul 2009, 12:25 pm

One of the women in the home is pregnant. She is 24 weeks pregnant and has an infection in her uterus. She has been on antibiotics for a few weeks but the infection continues to grow and she may need to be hospitalized for a few weeks of antibiotics. Please pray for a complete healing for her. The baby's life is in danger at this point. We are asking God to show himself to her in a miraculous way.

Last week the girls at the Home all went to a Christian camp for the week and all of of the girls accepted the Lord. There is still a lot of discipleship that needs to be done, but we are praising God for the work He is doing in their lives.

Also, Andy's eye is much improved and has not become infected. Thank you for praying for his eye.

Andy's eye 24 Jun 2009, 10:01 pm

I have a short prayer need today. Last night (Wednesday evening), Andy's eye was scratched by an overhanging plant (the long sharp type of leaf) as we entered a restaurant. It was extremely painful, but after about an hour it was okay. As we were going to bed I lifted my hands and accidentally touched the eye again (but hardly touched it) and it shot pain again.

The eye is sore and scratched and this morning it is sensitive to light so we are keeping the lights off. Please pray for a quick and complete healing of Andy's eye.

camp week 21 Jun 2009, 12:20 pm

This week the women from the Home of Hope are going off to camp. They are attending with 3 of the staff and it is a church came sponsored by the church of our Social Worker. Please pray that the women and their children enjoy the camp, are refreshed and that they are opened to God working in their lives this week.

At the same time most of our AGWM team (but not all) and our summer interns are off to experience their own brand of camp. They are heading to small village for a week of evangelism and outreach. Andy & I are not able to go this week, but Elissa, our oldest daughter will join the group. Please pray for health and safety for all 9 of those gone. Pray also for God's anointing on them as they work with the church of this village to share Jesus.

The Project Rescue interns are in their last weeks with us. Pray that God continues to use them and show them His way for their lives. These are 2 wonderful young women and we have been blessed to have them here.

Pray also for us as we are away from our families. Some days we really miss being near them. We love what we do and where we are, but sometimes we miss those at home.

Thanks for your prayers.

Updates 15 Jun 2009, 1:04 pm

We just returned from a great week away. We had time for our annual retreat. That is always refreshing. It is so good to get away and worship in English, hear good preaching and have time to visit with others.

While I was gone we took in a new woman and her 14 month old daughter at the Home of Hope. I'm so proud of my staff because they went ahead and made all the decisions needed to make this happen. The organization referring this young woman did not want to keep her with her child, saying she could not learn to parent. But the HoH staff said they would not take the woman without her child. I was so proud of them for standing strong. The baby is a beautiful little girl and we now have an opportunity to again touch another generation. Please pray for this mother and daughter as they adjust to life at the home.

Next week all the women and some of the staff will go to the first camp of the summer. They are all excited for this. This is a Christian camp. Pray that they hear from God in a special way. Pray that they meet Him while there.

We also have 2 great interns with us this summer, working with the House of Hope. We have another 2 interns working with local churches. Pray for these young women as they seek God for their futures. We feel like we have 4 really wonderful young women this summer. Pray for God's continued hand on their lives this summer.

We also have the opportunity to partner with Salvation Army in a sewing project. We are excited about this. Please pray for the women as they learn to sew and begin to have an opportunity to make some money.

Thanks for your prayers. Everyday I know I cannot do anything without the wisdom and understanding from God. He is guiding us.

Blessings.
