Prayer Update

Thank you so much for your prayers! We are extremely grateful for all of you and for all that God is doing! Praise God for a great first two weeks of teaching! I found out that one of my (Anna's) principals is a Christian and it shouldn't have been too much of a surprise because that school is so peaceful and happy. Many of the schools our team works with have Buddhist temples nearby or as part of them. Some of the experienced teachers explained that its not uncommon for the schools with temples to have many children who scream during the entire lesson. Neither David nor I have seen this yet, but some of the other teachers on our team have. Please pray that His light would shine through us into the darkness.

We are so grateful to have many adorable students, but you can pray for continued love and grace in working with each of them as well as the teachers. Also, pray that we would be filled with God's rest and peace as we seek Him and are filled with His Spirit and His Word.

"Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen." -Romans 16:25-27
