Praises & Prayers

Greetings from the last P&P with Publisher. That is the software that I use that I love for these newsletters that are with all these bells and whistles that I mentioned before. I had in my head that it was August that they were stopping the app but it’s October.
This helps me a lot because this is a known software app to me and to be honest I haven’t had the time to go practice with Scribus yet like I need to. All those things (forced changes) come as you have to, is my experience. The next one I’m sure I’ll have to use Scribus.
Of course the beat goes on and the days seem short and at warp speed as we look to the hills where our help comes from. I continue to think about the scripture I sent in the June email.
Matthew 24:21-22 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
It certainly seems to me that there is so, so much going on in this season. Is it that the Lord is doing some things we may not understand with time, with people with whatever He desires? Right!! His will, His way, Yahweh!
It seems like there is so much going on here too that we have to keep our heads straight. Granted though, we had about 5-6 weeks of crazy here on the property that displaced us as we packed everything up. We are grateful the landlady wants to take care of her property and we are more than grateful that she is so very good to us and has been unlike other landlords. So many horror stories.

More Praises & Challenges!

UPDATE: You might remember The DORM is on hold as mentioned before because of the rains. Clare did reserve some materials and will start once the rains start to cease. Not sure how to time that but I’ll let her handle all of that. She’s received enough funds to start the purchasing. As soon there is anything we will update you.
The September rains are (relatively) not bad but October is torrential including as I type this, it rages. Lots of thunder and lightening. The Princess dog is so adverse with a bad start in life with fireworks early on in her puppyhood. Oh the troubles of four leggers.
Of course I must update you on the babies!! Blessings to be part of these little ones lives. I know I’ve mentioned I see Rinnah and Nava so much more than Ivan and Aaron. Ivan has just recently started joining me at The Remand Home where I’m teaching English to the youth that are incarcerated. So I’ve had more opportunities to see Evelyn and Aaron because his house is on the way.

Evelyn, Ivan and Aaron

Bill has tilled the ground a long time. And the fruit is coming. He’s been presented with a lot of opportunities!! We thank God for this new season to see some growth. He spoke at CCFP and a Korean couple heard him and then brought the boss of the NGO that they work for. He immediately had Bill go out to the “Crusade” that was schedule a few kilometers from the house. Bill was the first speaker with Nicholas translating for him
As you might imagine Bill was delighted and the false teachers were not. Long story short, looks like the ministry has a number of opportunities that will take Bill west of here in a concentrated area teaching the biblical true Gospel to the leaders and pastors. It’s like a little gold mine of opportunities. Pray for hearts and ears!!

Bill and Nicholas had an opportunity to speak at a “Crusade”, anytime you hear that here, you are assured it is 99.9% false teaching.

Prayers

 Please continue to pray for the new staff at FMLK to be honest and up-right, including the Chicken House crew!! Prayer that the unseen is seen!!
 Pray for another couple of streams of funding for FMLK. This is an ongoing prayer. We certainly see God providing from these young Spanish volunteers and even in this there are parameters and stops. Please keep the relationship in prayer between the founders of both groups. For a little more understanding, the Spanish team is branching out yet still will be involved with FMLK but is also taking the volunteers to new schools. One of the hardest parts is that the kids are the ones that don’t understand so we are trying to address the ability for them to work without having the children impacted!
 Pray we stay healthy.
 Please continue to pray as Bill teaches at the 3 churches and now this opportunity with the Korean ministry. Also pray that more of the young Christian adults would be willing to be trained in godly leadership. Too many just want money and are not willing to do success God’s way.
 Please pray as I work with the Remand House (youth detention center), that it is part of His Kingdom building and not just an activity. I’m using scripture to assist in teaching English!
 Pray for the Muslim woman I love and having great Spiritual conversations with and that it is all worthy of her considering Christ. Her husband has rejected her and the 3 daughters. She’s educated and that causes problems. Prayer for ongoing how to acknowledge and help her.
 Pray as we serve to see with Spiritual eyes and boldness in these days. Pray that our every effort will make God known and pleasing to Him.
 Pray as Bill works with Robert who is in agreement to work with the FMLK Chapel. He is new to “truth teaching” but is willing and teachable. Praise God that he is there to learn and this will impact many long term!!
