PRAYERS |
| |
For healing and peace for Elaine K.'s mom, Chun K.'s mom, Peter Y.'s dad, Angelo C’s father, all undergoing treatment for cancer; healing from Alzheimers for Victor C.'s mom and Meiling K's dad; Bernard S.’s father recovering; for Mark T. dealing with cystic fibrosis. Sarah C's mom weak health. Sandy K. - Grave’s disease.
For guidance as Anne prepares for missionary service to Cambodia.
Wisdom for EM/Leaders as they plan 2009 Ministry.
Prayer Requests (Kyrgyzstan):
- The new restrictive religious laws have passed through legislation, but the president still has to sign off on the new law. If signed, which he is expected to do, this will result in much persecution to the Christians. Pray for strength, courage and hope for our brothers and sisters in Kyrgyzstan.
- The dispute among Korean and Western families at Hope Academy to come to an end.
- David and Sarah's university applications. David is applying for business and Sarah for veterinary.
- The world financial crisis has had an impact on Interserve and many of our supporters. Please pray that we can raise our support level substantially that will allow us to stay on the field and be involved in the ministries to which we have been called. |
