December 2011 Prayer Update

As Thanksgiving has passed we’re reminded that we have to be thankful for:  the gift of Salvation, the love of wonderful family, the joy of serving Him in Cameroon.  And we’re thankful for you and your commitment to pray for us without which our labor would be in vain.

For November praise God with us for:

1.  Praise God for Nathan (14) and my (?) birthdays!  We’re so proud of the godly man Nate is growing to be.

2  Praise God that my (Janet) hearing is back.  Was it the prayers of the Faithful or the antihistamine?  Maybe a combination, but I am very glad to have an unclogged inner ear again.

3.  Praise God the work has begun on the new hostel and staff housing – ground is broken and getting prepared for the foundation.  To follow construction progress, visit our new blog at http://www.ubachostelconstruction.blogspot.com.

4.  Praise God that Pastors Don Davenport, Darrell Griffin and Church chair Lisa (from Oakdale Covenant) have come to visit and encourage Sharon Davis, seeing what God is doing through her ministry. 

For December pray with us for:

1.  Pray that we’ll soon complete all the legal paperwork needed for construction of the new Covenant/Free Church Hostel and staff housing adjacent to RFIS property.

2.  Pray for new teachers to come to Rain Forest International School (RFIS) next school year.  We have more positions to fill than seems humanly possible.  Teachers are needed for the Middle School, High School in order for missionaries to continue their work of evangelism, Bible Translation, medical work etc.  (For a complete list go to http://www.rfis.org/index.php/staffneeds.)

3.  Pray for Janet’s relationships with various women and girls she is meeting with for Bible Study, prayer and discipleship.  May the Lord direct conversations to His glory and purpose.

4.  Pray for travelers Paul & Sheryl Noren with Marta Klein are on their way from Congo via Central African Rep.  Pray for safe travels, good health, and that the Lord’s purpose will be fulfilled in their visits with Fulani people along the way.  Pray too, for the many students who will be travelling to the villages of their parents’ service for Christmas break.

5.  Please pray for Covenant Short Term Missionary and RFIS  Math/Science teacher Samantha Barron who is currently in the US to join her family as her mother was diagnosed with cancer. 

6.  Continue to pray for my friend and her family.  She has been informed that her husband is expected to take a 2nd wife to help carry out his responsibilities to the family.  Pray that the Spirit of God gives wisdom in relationships, and that her husband will choose to follow Jesus’ way instead of the ways of his family traditions.

As you enter the season of Advent, may you find time to prepare your hearts for the coming King of Kings!

Thank you for remembering us in prayer!
