Quick update:
-Please pray for the
Barunga Church. It's grown quite a bit in the last year+. It had about 6 people
attending a bit over a year ago, and now Sundays it's about 40. :) Praise the
Lord!
-God has given us a
ministry at a local drug and alcohol rehabilitation center where we've been
doing outreach for the past year...It will be one year this May! God opened the
door for us to do church services in Kriol with the "clients" there.
We have a new face almost each week, but then others leave. There are usually
around 6-12 men and women who come to the service. Those men and women come
from many different indigenous communities from all over the "Top
End" of Australia.
As they leave and return to their families, pray they
would continue in their walk with the Lord, and that there would be some kind
of Bible based teaching and fellowship made available to them. Many go back to
places where there is a church, but in some cases, there is no church in their
community.
-Please pray for
Cheri as she continues her study in midwifery. She's doing well, but still has
a couple of years left before she's finished with the program and an official
midwife.
-Please pray for me
as I teach language literacy and numeracy at the very centre we are doing our
outreach! God is good and opened that door for me to build relationships with
folks in and out of church. :)
-Please pray for the
ladies who come with me to Venndale that they would be an encouragement and
encourage others at the Centre, and that we as a group would make an eternal
impact.
-Our family is doing
well, kids are all healthy and they are enjoying school!
-Please pray for Cheri as she continues her study in midwifery. She's doing well, but still has a couple of years left before she's finished with the program and an official midwife.
I think that'll do
for now! :) Thanks for praying for us! You know, I haven't sent out a prayer
update in a long time. But we really need the prayers! If you want to receive more frequent updates,
please let me know through e-mail or Facebook! Thanks again, folks!
