Shon-a homeless lady at the
shelter, & her children. She has
requested prayer-she desires
to know God better but has a
slight learning disability so she
can't read well and becomes
confused with most sermons
because they go too fast & she
can't ask questions.
We spend time with her on
Tuesdays and we are praying
that the lord will send another
volunteer to share with her
(slowly) on a weekly basis.
We are also praying for more
weekly or monthly volunteers
so we can have a more indi-
vidualized ministry
God has put in my path-Eileen, a
Buddhist; Jean, a Mormon; Les,
an atheist; and James, an
agnostic. Please pray that the
Holy Spirit will convict their heart
for their need of Christ.
Pray for God's blessings upon
all our missionary endeavorsit
is only through God's spiritual
blessings that lives can be
transformed ...
lexi (my daughter) is turning 21
next week. I ask that you pray
that the lord will send her some
dedicated Christian friends and
that the lORD will draw her
close to Himself as she enters
adulthood.
Also please pray for the safety of a family that I am
working with. They have a relative involved in a murder
trial. Although they were not involved with the incident
they are receiving death threats.
