PRAYER REQUESTS

• Please pray for language acquisition for our whole family.  

1. Pray that we all will be humble in our language learning.
2. Pray that we will all be willing to try to speak and to be willing to make mistakes.
3. Pray that our minds will be sponges that soak up the language quickly.
4. Pray especially for the kids as they are a bit timid right now in reaching out to those around them.

• Pray for our finance team here in Santiago...and for the other three support centers around the world.  There is more work than can be done over the next four or five weeks and many things are not finalized with the new system.  

1. Pray for a constant focus on Him, His leadership and His counsel.
2. Please pray for patience...both for those on the finance team and for the missionaries they serve.
3. Pray for good communication between all personnel.
4. Pray for endurance as they work to implement the new system, start the accounting for the new fiscal year 2010, and work during a time when available financial resources are down.  
5. Pray for wisdom for those in leadership as they make decisions that affect so many.

•  Pray for those we have begun to meet here in Santiago.

1. Pray for our relationships to grow with our neighbors.  We have met two of the families that live beside us...we look forward to knowing them better.
2. Pray that we are His light in our community.
3. Pray that He will put many more people in our way each day.
4. Pray that we will be willing servants, obedient and have the stamina to do what He wants us to do.
5. Pray that we will be able to share our faith, even though we don't know much of the language.
