1. Continue to pray for Dorthe, Sam and myself as we seek to grow together as a team and to be creative with the challenges we face, having a much smaller staff than in the past.
2. Pray for the 12 children here at the CEF Leadership Training Institute with their parents. We have three young ladies caring for them. The children are settling in very well - especially considering the language challenge. (One of the young ladies is helping only this first week - pray that God supply a third helper for at least the next 6 weeks; after which our child count goes down to 9) Pray that those caring for the children have wisdom in coming up with a creative and diverse program for these children: ages 6 months to 11 years. Mostly active boys!
3. Please pray for healing of whatever is causing the pain in my neck - after a week of physical therapy - and changing to a special pillow I am able to sleep through the night. (Computer work with bifocals (C: does not help) Pray for stamina for these beginning weeks of this training - With more families present, there seems to be a greater need for me to be present and listening and getting answers to their questions.
Thank you for praying with me.
