Praise and Prayers
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
I recently returned from the base of the Christian Health Service Corps near Dallas, where they had an orientation of new medial missionaries. I taught CHE and helped with the children's program. We had an excellent group. Praise God for the medical missionaries going out to serve, many in hard places. Please pray for the mission teams that are in transition, often after going through hardships. Pray for CHSC, for new staff for their expanding ministry. Read more about CHSC's excellent ministry at https://www.healthservicecorps.org/
Our CHE ministries are also expanding. Pray for the completion of a new CHE app and the opening of new online training programs. We are also working on updating and improving our library of training materials.
Pray also for two close friends who are going through significant health issues. Pray for God's healing and for his peace during this time of uncertainty and change.
Our online Bible study with children and youth has nearly finished Esther! (Yes, she did rescue her people.) During the fall, we hope to study God's Amazing Creation by Kay Arthur and Janna Arndt. Let me know if you know anyone (ages 9-16) who would like to join us.
More children are coming to our children's ministry in Convergencia! Please continue to pray for speech therapy for Isaías, who had a cleft palate repair. In Nuevo Amanecer, we hold a discipleship ministry with mothers and grandmothers alongside the children's program.
Jo Kijabe reports from Kenya, "The ladies received fruit trees with joy and gladness. They sang songs of praise to God, we took the time to learn about bearing good fruits that will last and becoming a blessing to others by sharing the light of Jesus." Thanks to all who gave or prayed for this.
The cabin is progressing. Much of the exterior work is done. Pray for wisdom in all the decisions for the interior. (I was in culture shock, looking at all the options for lighting fixtures in Texas!)
Many thanks for your prayers, encouragement, and support! Let me know how I can be praying for you.
With love,
Jody
