Prayer and Praise

I don't know if I said, but I went to the states for 1 1/2 weeks to see my dad. It was so good to have time with him. He is getting to where he can hardly walk and if he is too tired, he can't get words out either. But it was so good to see him and spend time with him each day. One day he said, "I'm so thrilled you came." Me too.

The container is on its way! We were promised it by the end of this week, but now it looks like early next week. Pray for a smooth entry for it into the country.

Yesterday I talked with a very sharp young woman who is a recent university graduate, beautiful Christian and great leader. She has agreed to be the Home of Hope director, working with me to lead this and represent it to the NGO (non-governmental community) in Moldova. Will you please pray for Elena? I'm not such a tough boss, but I believe it is a ministry in which Satan does not want to see go forward and so tries to discourage. We have a lot to learn together and plan and I'm excited about starting with her next week.

Our teacher for this year arrived on Monday evening (same flight as me into the country). Please pray for Corrina as she makes adjustments to Moldova and the culture here, missing friends and loved ones at home. She is ready to get started and has other ministries she wants to do here too. This is such a blessing for us to have someone her to teach the girls. It allows me to do some ministry and also gives the girls someone else to be a part of their lives.

And pray for a teacher for the last two years of our term. We need to find someone that will commit and begin to raise his/her funds to come next year. We'd love to find someone who would come for the next two years.

Thanks for your prayers. It is truly the power behind what we do.

Blessings.
