2010 Praise and Prayer

how beautiful are the feet of them who bring good news...


Praises:
1.) I have spent the last 5 months here in Madagascar getting settled, starting language learning, and finding new amazing and adventuresome routines. Daily blessed to see that GOD made me for such a place as this, even during this exact time, political crisis and all. I have traveled through the last five months fully supported, and during these tough economic times that is something to PRAISE GOD about. I am honored and blessed to be the feet of such an amazing team "TEAM MADAGASCAR" that GOD has arranged and brought together! Without many of you these relationships would not be possible. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Misoatra betsika Jesosy! (Thank you JESUS!)

2.) Opportunities over the CHRISTmas and New Year holiday to share about relationship with Christ and what that really means with 2 Malagasy that are really seeking. Including great opportunities to share with Children and encourage them to SEEK Him as they are led. Also a wonderful opportunity to live with a Malagasy family, submerged in their lifestyle, with their comforts and daily routines. Yahoo!

3.) I was connected with a local orphanage here not far from where I live - went for a couple of hours and am praying about volunteering once a week there to serve but also to learn what I can. Pray that GOD would be clear to me on this.


Prayers:
1.) I find myself starting 2010 without sufficient support but with the assurance that GOD will provide as HE has shown over and over along this journey. Will you join me in praying that GOD would raise up new support and challenge those that HE desires to increase their already sacrificial giving? This could be you so be wise in what you pray for. :)

2.) Please continue to pray for those in leadership positions throughout Madagascar! So much is uncertain. We are safe! Prepared and storing up necessities as advised. So many people are suffering here because of the decisions being made across the globe.

3.) With the unrest and uncertainty comes more crime and violence. Please pray that as I continue to walk and take public transportation that GOD would protect me, have me be just in the RIGHT place at the RIGHT time and have others around that are willing to lead, guide and protect. Please continue to pray for a vehicle, the right price, reliable and someone to provide those exact finances.
