Hurricane Ike

Please pray for Chris' family who has evacuated their homes in Texas due to the approach of Hurricane Ike. Parents are near Port Arthur, TX. Brother and Sister-in-law in the Highlands (Houston). and Sister and Brother-in-law in Kemah (Houston-near Galveston). Pray for their safety and God's provision in all aspects of life. We will all assess the damage shortly.

East London Teens

Check out our latest blog post [08 Aug]. God is working in East London amongst these teenagers. Pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to them in clear ways.

Also, we will only be with this faith community until December. Please pray with us that someone from within the community will stand out as the next leader for these teenagers. Our influence is highly limited for multiple reasons (we live on the other side of the city, we aren't Chinese, Vietnamese, or even British, and we only see them once a month). These teenagers need caring adults in their life pointing them towards Jesus on a much more regular basis. If we continue to stay on, we will only be a crutch to effective discipleship from within the community. Pray that the adults will have a clear picture of all of this and take ownership of the spiritual growth of their children.

Angie's Health

For the past 6 weeks, Angie has had allergy problems nearly continually. About once a week she will have a day where her nasal drainage and sneezing are debilitating that all she can do is lie down. She has taken an over the counter allergy medication for a month now with no change. So Monday she has an appointment with the GP. Please pray that the GP will not dismiss this, but will put forth an abnormal amount of effort (for this country) to resolve whatever is causing her allergies.
