Prayer requests from Warren Henderson February 2, 2010

1.   I am meeting regularly with John, the man that nearly committed suicide four weeks ago. He may have come to Christ recently, as many of his questions are now Christ-centered instead of self-centered – time will tell. We are doing the Basic Christian Training (BCT) together. Actually, we have several Bible studies which are ongoing, including three others in which we are also using the BCT (one is an on-line study). These online studies have worked well in recent years – just refer the student to http://www.plymouthbrethren.org/series/6251 both a telephone call to review the lesson or commenting to emailed answers has worked well in the past. If you offer a free on line class in gospel literature this might be a good one to use. Please pray for the spiritual growth of Barb and Joe who are new believers.  

2.   Itinerant Ministry. Safety in traveling and that I would be a blessing to the Lord’s people.

3.   The book Out of Egypt – A Devotional Study of Exodus was submitted to Gospel Folio last week. Please pray for another project I am working on which pertains to overcoming the flesh.

4.   Kids Clubs. Brenda has decided to continue the club in Colfax – it is set to start on February 25^th. She is considering starting a new club in a local elementary school in Chippewa Falls next fall (only four miles from our house).

5.   New printing of The Bible: Myth or Divine Truth? Several have asked about evangelism copies of this book. If there is enough interest I will do another print run to support summer evangelistic efforts. I need to print at least 10,000 copies of the book to get the cost down. The cost will be 60 cents per copy plus shipping (minimum 1000 copy order). If anyone is interested let me know. Inexpensive case quantities are still available through GFP and Grace and Truth. Please pray for wisdom on this matter.

May the Lord’s will be done in all these things.

Thanks for your prayers.

Praise & Prayer requests from Kent and Jenny Schafer March 26, 2010

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know how our house finding trip to Quelimane went. It was really goodJ We ended up getting a ride down and back with DJ, one of the leaders of New Tribes in Mozambique…much better than a bus! We were pretty exhausted when we left for the trip, so it was nice to have a relaxing journey (except for the bumpy dirt road part of the highway, which is uncomfortable in any vehicle:)

Through a connection with a former missionary we know in the US, we were put in contact with an American couple in Quelimane and they invited us to stay with them, which was a second huge blessing! Because of our trip with the “DJ express” and our stay with this couple, we actually got to rest a bit during our trip and came home feeling much less exhausted

But, what about our reason for going? We did find a house and that story is yet another example of God’s abundant blessings during our trip! When we visited a church on Sunday, another missionary couple (who doesn’t usually attend that church), just “happened” to be at church that Sunday and she put us in touch with a Mozambican friend who had a house for rent. It ended up being a duplex (one house for us and one house for Rubi:) and we were able to go and see it that afternoon. We were blown away by how perfect it is! Both apartments have 2 bedrooms and a kitchen/living room combination room (all the other houses we had seen were absolutely huge and we really wanted a small place). They have a water pump and even have a water heater (warm showers! :). And, the owner is willing to put some furniture in them and then deduct the fridge and stove that we buy from the rent! They share the same yard and so we and Rubi can share the salary of a guard (which is pretty necessary here) and we can share our “backup guard” – a dogJ And, after looking at houses where the rent was $400-1,200, the rent of these houses is less than $250! The only downside is that they are a little bit farther away from the city center than we wanted. But, since we all plan to get bikes and/or a motorcycle, that shouldn’t be too much of a difficulty…and we’ll get some exercise, tooJ Praise the Lord with us for His gracious provision!

So, where do we go from here? Tomorrow we leave town for 4 days at the beach (a much-needed break:). After that, we’ll be home for 2 days and then Saturday we head to the site where NTM’s yearly field conference will be held. We’re going a little early to help set up the place and then everyone else will join us on Monday. We’re looking forward to 5 days with the rest of the NTM missionaries here in Mozambique! It should be a good time of talking about what God’s doing in Mozambique, fellowshipping, and relaxing

After the field conference, we’ll have a few weeks to pack up and say good-bye to friends and then move down to Quelimane in the end of April. Never a dull moment here

Prayer requests:

1.      For safety in our upcoming travels

2.      For wisdom in arranging the details of our move (transportation, what to take, etc)

3.      That God would direct us in our relationships with the churches in Quelimane and give us wisdom as we try to understand how He wants us to be involved with these churches.

4.      That we would have wisdom and discernment to understand the Mozambican culture and discipline in our language studies.

5.      For wisdom as we and Rubenita begin to discuss team issues and ministry strategy in more detail.

Thanks so much for your partnership with us! We couldn’t do this without your prayers.

because He's faithful,

Kent and Jenny

Prayer Request from Vision Beyond Boarders: Patrick Klien: April 24^th, 2010
This is the orginztion that gave us all the seed for the first container. They do a great work for the Lord all over the world.

PRAISE the Lord!!
We received an email update from Nepal.  A woman who was recently rescued and brought to the home for women rescued from sex-slavery safely delivered a baby girl.  Please pray for Kalpana and her new baby, especially pray the baby will not be HIV positive, as Kalpana is HIV positive.  Also, please pray for all needed funds for the hospital.

Praise the Lord, the building in Sheridan is under contract and set to close next week.  We were also able to secure a permanent location for the ministry in Bozeman!  God has truly blessed the ministry in this process and we will owe about $25,000 on the new building, reducing our debt by about 80%!  The reduced debt load will allow more funds to go directly to the needs overseas.  We are committed to good stewardship of the funds God brings to the ministry.  This move will bring us close to the goal of being debt-free.  Please join us in praying that God will provide the additional funds needed before the move!

Prayer Request:

Please continue to pray for Ben in Vietnam.  His wife spoke with him and he told her the contact from the above story had his car stolen.  They have asked for prayer that it would be retrieved safely.  He has asked we continue to pray for divine appointments, and for the Believers as Liberation Day begins and their safety may be in jeopardy.  Ben will be preaching in a church this Sunday, and has asked for prayer as well as for the pastor who invited him to preach.  In his own words, "I never know what each day will bring for me, so I'm not always sure what to ask everyone to pray for except for Gods will to be done."

Please pray for a group traveling with Christ for the Nations to a closed country on May 8th.  VBB was able to send 2 cases of Bibles with them, to help with the desperate need for God's Word. 

Please pray for a team who will be carrying 3 flannelgraphs as well as clothing to Egypt.  We thank God for the opportunity to partner with them by providing some of the needed supplies for their trip!

Thank you for your Prayer support!

In Christ,

Patrick and staff

Brothers and sisters, will you pray for this people? Millions are spiritually blind. And their religious leaders continue to make them blind and keep them blind.

Pray for the believers here, their walk, and testimony. Pray for the directors and for the workers at the center in St. Louis. The body of Christ here is small and many carry heavy loads of responsibility. Pray for their families and relationships. Pray for the continued radio broadcasts which are causing many to have their worldview changed and conformed to the truth of Scripture. Pray for the many who listen in secret—that they will understand and believe the gospel. Pray for the wedding this Saturday of a dear Senegalese couple, Julien and Angele (We are thrilled to have our son Nathan here from the Middle East. He came for the occasion.). “Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.”(2 Thes. 3:1)
Thanks for your prayers and part with us,

Carol & Paul
