Orphans First Prayer Requests July 9th, 2004
Thank you for taking time to pray--especially in a world where time is
stolen by our over-busy lives. Thank you. Your prayers change the lives of
hurting children.
ADOPTIONS
God is increasingly involving me in adoptions although we''re not an
adoption agency. I was recently contacted by Frontiers for Children, who work a
program similar to the hosting parent program of Joyce Schaller (see article
online:
_http://www.freelancestar.com/News/FLS/2004/062004/06232004/1406660_
(http://www.freelancestar.com/News/FLS/2004/062004/06232004/1406660) ). Pray for
11-year-old LAURIS, a wonderful Russian boy, who is the only one on this
program. without a hosting family to receive him this summer. Pray for God to
raise up a family for Lauris.
Pray for Orphans First to somehow complement these programs. Pray for
children to be adopted, for Christians to adopt, for the details of Christian
adoptions to work out.
As we condiser Christian adoptions and foster parenting, please condinue
praying for next weeks event in DC where I have been asked to be a delegate
with key leaders:
The National ADOPTION and FOSTER CARE RECRUITMEMENT SUMMIT
Continue praying this summit would change children's lives, and for the
details such as networking, travel (we go standby, again), and for our son to be
spiritually convered during our absence.
EXPANSION TOOLS
Continue praying for the brochure which is still in the makings, and the
editing of the new DVD to increase awareness of the children’s needs allowing
O.F. to expand.
Pray for a solution to accomodate growth, whereby we could have a separate
office, and pay staff-members. (We presently share a missions office, and work
with volunteers, God bless them ).
INDIA, AFRICA, EUROPE
Pray for the new work with street children in Moscow. Pray for a new
contact I have made with Hopeches -- that we could better reach the orphans in
Kazakhstan.
Continue praying for ALL our children's homes, and street children’s
ministries throughout the world. Pray for our children in Ghana, Africa (one of
our sponsors is visiting those children), for the orphanage in Burkina Faso,
Africa, and for Grace Home, India.
FRANCE
You have faithfully prayed for our work in France, including the churches we
planted during our 22 years there and the Bible college & school. Many
cannot comprehend how subtle the devil's strategy has been to divide and destroy
everything God has built, including our school. Please continue praying:
that our property would sell, enabling the move to Montpellier; for the
establishement (and needed buildings) for the International School; for the
transition of the Theological Insitute; for the innocent souls who are suffering
since we left for this season. Pray also for those running the French branch
of O.F. -- Brijite, Isabelle, Dominique, Rosita, Gilbert. Pray especially for
Isabelle at this time. Pray for those continuing the vision: Pastors
Jean-Luc Megret, Dominique, Yohann, Christian. May God honor them in their
service, their humility and adherence to biblical principles. May He provide
abundantly for each one, meeting their needs as they serve Him. Pray specifically
for finances -- and for God to raise up a buyer for our property, at a decent
price.
Pray also for our upcoming trip to France in a few weeks.
Personal
We (finally) move to an appartment this weekend. Pray that we could
quickly set up a system to function normally. GREATEST NEED = access to e-mail.
Pray we can set up a phone line fast, and for each element needed for that
to fall in place.
Thanks for praying for all the details for next week's travels to DC, &
for our son. Pray also for somewhere for us to stay for the summit in DC and
also for our visit to Baltimore.
Forever grateful on behalf of the many children your prayers are helping,
