MUSTARD SEED JERSEY PRAYER
UPDATE JANUARY 6th 2017
GIVE
THANKS:
Give thanks for a successful aid trip, when
Christmas shoeboxes, food parcels, bread, blankets, etc were given to those in
need. Various problems we faced with logistics were all resolved.
As always we
saw some moving (real tear-jerker) gratitude from recipients, especially the
elderly. It is a huge privilege to give out the goods.
The team of
students from Beaulieu Convent School were a real blessing to those they met.
Inevitably they saw things that challenged them, so please continue to pray for
the 12 students and 4 staff members.
ANSWERED
PRAYER:
BREAD: In
the previous prayer update I mentioned that there was less money for bread
distribution, since then more money has been received and we have been able to
increase the distributions to twice a week for the rest of January. Pray funds
will enable us to continue twice weekly distributions up to the end of the
winter
ALEX from MSR is very thankful that his foot is
healing gradually and he is now able to drive short distances again. Continue to pray that healing for Alex continues
in the area where the skin graft is.
BUILDING PROJECT: we have just been able to send over
the money needed to purchase doors and windows. [Once these are fitted, the
building will be registered so the other residents (in trailers or porter
cabins) on the site can use the address to claim their full entitlement to
pensions]. Continue to pray for Nelu that God gives him
the wisdom he needs to find the best value materials and to engage reliable
craftsmen.
KATHY LANGSTON: please uphold Kathy and her two
adopted daughters Codi & Andreea
in your prayers. Each weekend they open their home to up to 7 orphan children
living in a state orphanage in the city.
Pray for healing for Nelu
– essential medication he needed last year has recently resulted in his
suffering from diabetes.
IN JERSEY: pray for us for wisdom in planning
ahead for our next aid consignment in the late spring/early summer & other
decisions.
Please
continue to bless us with your prayers – PRAYER
CHANGES THINGS
Yours in Christ
