Safety in traveling around her new country and a good arrival into a month of Hindi grammar classes. 2. Meeting up with good friends - new and old - at the grammar school. 3. A good "farewell" to her friends and coworkers in Delhi. 4. The opportunity to attend a conference in between her move from Delhi to grammar school. It was a good chance to network with other workers in H… people groups in various parts of South Asia. She requests prayer for: 1. Continued good Hindi studies - especially the grammar side of things until July 30th. 2. After the end of July, a good settling into life in "Pilgrimville", where she'll continue with Hindi studies. 3. Wisdom concerning Stage II of the Hindi program. In general, students complete the second stage in nine months - but God may be leading her to do it in the shorter six month program. “I don't want speed to stunt my Hindi ability, but going through the program more quickly would open up ministry possibilities sooner.” 4. Good relationships with her teammates and leaders in Pilgrimville. They request prayer for: 1. Joe Shepherd (summer missionary) was diagnosed with a blockage to his heart just prior to coming to Saskatchewan. He has undergone surgery to install stints and is waiting on further testing. He still hopes to come to Fishing Lake Reserve in August. Please, pray for complete healing for him. 2. Their family will be driving to South Carolina for Brian's brother's wedding on July 17th. They leave home on the 11th and plan to be on the road for two weeks. Please, pray for safety in travel and for the van to run smoothly. 3. Cheri who will be staying at home to work while they are gone. This will be a very different time for all! 4. The Lord of the harvest would send forth laborers into his harvest . (with an emphasis on the First Nations). 5. Them as they seek to minister among and with the First Nations people there and abroad. That the Lord would give them eyes to see and ears to hear as He leads. That God would give them boldness and wisdom as they seek to do His will. They request prayer for: 1. The couples' seminars the Estevez’s will be giving in July. 2. The united service they will be celebrating with the Primitive Methodist Churches of Ciudad Jardin, Recreo, Juan Mina and Pueblo Viejo. 3. The economic provisions to buy the temple – “we already have 10 years paying rent and so we ask the Lord for it to be soon.” They request prayer for: 1. Natalie broke her ankle in gym class and that her bones will heal quickly and patience for her during this time as she can't be as active as she normally is. 2. Several students who were in an accident during the mid-year break and are in serious condition. (Alida, 11th grader, has already lost 2 sisters and her grandmother due to the accident.) 3. Special speaking engagements they have this month -- Pam at a Women's retreat (7/10-11) and José at a Mission's Conference 7/18 and the dorm student's activities. 4. Nino as he finishes his seminary studies and the Lord to guide him as to what next and where in the world is his place of service. 5. The Lord's protection over the students as many travel especially during these rainy months. They request prayer for: 1. Mark, their son, as he transitions from Spain to USA to do his last year of College. He leaves Spain the last week of July. 2. Them as they visit (July 30 to Aug. 5). their missionaries in Poland and as they attend the GEM conference as representatives of ECM. Both missions are looking for partnering opportunities. 3. The English Camp outreach in Camarma the last week of July. 4. The salvation of the two Muslim families coming to church. She requests prayer for: 1. “During the last three weeks of July we will have missionary appointees in for training - several families have teenagers. Pray for these teens as they deal with issues related to goodbyes and huge changes ahead for them during these years in their lives that can be difficult enough for them without moving overseas.” 2. Safe travels for missionaries during these summer months - not only those going back and forth overseas, but for the many programs that happen during the summer months such as camping, etc., many times in conditions that we would consider really primitive. Doug & Margaret Grenawalt are praising the Lord for: 1. Friday night Urdu "Ibaadat" services continue to go well; “we are a small group, but attendance is consistent and those who come enjoy the worship time very much.” 2. “Thank you for praying for Qadoos last month -- he learned that his family in Pakistan is safe, in spite of being slightly injured in a recent bombing in Lahore.” They request prayer for: 1. John, a Pakistani brother who Doug discipled last year; he may have fallen away due to pressure from his family. He was recently seen taking his son to the local madrassah (Islamic school). 2. The South Asian Friendship Center's annual Block Party, to be held on July 17th. “This is a busy day for us all, but also a good chance to reach out to our neighborhood and have fun at the same time.” 3. New ESL students who are coming every afternoon to learn English -- pray for more tutors to be available so they don't have to turn students away. Continue to remember: Jonathan & Kathy Wilson in New Guinea Utatlan School Diane Duntze in Alaska Linda MacRae in Guatemala Steve & Sherry Ramsier are praising the Lord for: 1. A successful Block Party. 2. His faithfulness and provision. They request prayer for: 1. Wisdom and guidance as they move forward. 2. As they begin their summer outreaches on Saturdays. 3. Their Finances and decisions as they move forward. Continue to remember: Bret & Meredith Nathaniel Mark & Lisa Liebel at Life Victory Church Jonathan & Jinny Malanowski at Kathleen Jhovanny & Yadira Rodriguez at Centro De Adoracion Metodista Primitiva in Jersey City, NJ Luis & Josefina Estevez with Home Builders John & Andrea Stange in New Town | |||
