Prayer Requests

I hope to blog about some of this stuff later, but felt it was necessary, in the meantime, to request your prayers for a few matters:

Charles and Dailes

For those of you who don’t know, we have two workers who help us around the house with security and cleaning. We’ve really enjoyed getting to know them both. Charles and I will be starting a Bible study on Wednesday mornings and Dailes is going through a devotional, which Kerri gave her. Would you please pray for these relationships?

Preaching on the 13th

Luke Whitfield and I have been working closely with a church plant in the Chilenje compound. The pastor there, Michael Kandella, has asked me to preach on the 13th of April. Yikes!!! I definitely could use your prayers on this one…

Adoption

There are two children (brother & sister) who live at the Bill and Bette Bryant center (the orphanage we’ve been visiting). Both Kerri and I feel a bond with these two and just want to investigate whether or not they can be adopted. We’ve been told that in Zambia, many children who are living in orphanages are not adoptable because they have family who haven’t signed off on them. Please pray for clarity in this situation.

Vehicle

Our vehicle, which we purchased from Japan, is now in port in Tanzania. Apparently, the clearing agents are holding up the process and haven’t gotten the vehicle off of the boat. We have someone waiting to transport it to Lusaka and clear it through customs, but the car has to be cleared from port before they can do anything.
