Thank God:
· For His unending, unconditional love for us and for the people He has brought us here to serve.
· For the privilege of attending the dedication of the Tay New Testament this coming Thursday.
· For enabling the Mbore team and Dave to press on in their read-through of the Mborena Kam New Testament.
Please Pray:
· For strength and endurance for the Mbore team as they conclude their work. Pray that they will finish the read-through before Dave leaves Thursday.
· That God will orchestrate all the details for Thursday’s dedication of the Tay New Testament. Pray especially that God will show His full control over the weather, that all scheduled flights will be able to take off and land despite the clouds that usually obscure the mountain airstrip throughout much of the day, and that God will grant extra measures of grace and strength to our co-worker Bethaney Butler, who is coordinating all the extremely complicated logistics. Pray also that Steve and Rhonda Hayward’s son Jason, who grew up among the Tay, will arrive from the U.S. Monday and make it safely to the village on Tuesday.
· For Mike as he attends a retreat Monday evening through Wednesday afternoon. Pray that the purpose of the retreat – planning for a church leaders’ conference in October – will be fulfilled. Pray for Mike as he opens the retreat by sharing the story of his walk with the Lord and leads discussions to establish the theme of the conference.
· That God will protect Eunice during the time that Mike is gone. Pray also for healing so that her cough and sinus congestion do not turn into a full-blown head cold or sinus infection.
