SEED JERSEY PRAYER UPDATE DECEMBER 2014
CHRISTMAS AID TRIP – our aid trailer leaves Jersey on Saturday November 29th, carrying
Christmas shoeboxes as well as blankets and clothing. Drivers BOB & NEIL leave on Sunday
evening Nov 30th. We expect them to arrive in Romania on Wednesday 3rd
December.
I (ROSE) leave on Monday December 1st accompanied by 3 shoebox supporters CAROL,
LYNSEY and VANESSA, who are due to be in Romania for a week.
The party from BEAULIEU CONVENT SCHOOL are
due in Romania on Tuesday 9th, leaving again on Sat 13th.
This is a party of 11 students (sorry do not know all the names!) the staff are
SHARON & SHEILA.
Please
remember all those in your prayers, for safety travelling and that the time in
Romania while challenging will be a positive experience in all their life’s
journeys.
LAST
TIME we asked for your prayers for different arrangements for taking aid to
Romania and we are thankful that it worked well (after a few problems!) and
expect to use a haulier again in 2015.
LAST
TIME we asked for your prayers for a number of friends going through tough
times.
Since
the last update:
« FLORI in Romania has died
– we give thanks for her life and strong faith in Christ.
« KEN in Romania continues
to recover well
– please continue to pray for him. Pray for Florence.
« Liz’s husband has
died in Jersey – please uphold her in your prayers.
« Give thanks for
healing that has been received.
We
ask for your prayers for the CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX DISTRIBUTION that all the boxes
will bring joy and real help to the recipients, whether young or old.
Pray
for wisdom for ALEX to know which requests for shoeboxes to accept and which to
refuse.
Pray
too for SAFETY for all groups travelling to distribute shoeboxes as the weather
may prove icy, etc.
We
ask for your prayers for AGAPE – this charity works with young people who have
come through the state orphanages and offers them a
loving education programme. For many of the young people (I believe) their
biggest need is to know they are loved and to realise they are a valuable person.
We
ask for your prayers for KATHY LANGSTON and her outreaches to help needy
vulnerable children, especially handicapped children and young adults living in
state run family style homes. Pray for Kathy’s health and that God will give
her the energy and wisdom she needs.
We
ask for your prayers for ADELA, who was Flori’s best
friend, as she grieves the loss of her friend .
We
ask for your prayers for our Mustard Seed KINDERGARTEN in Cefa,
for MARIANA the teacher and the assistant. The kindergarten is specifically for
the gypsy children and offers them a good start and introduction to the school
system.
We
have been given some valuable MEDICAL EQUIPMENT – please pray we will be guided
as to the best way to achieve getting this equipment to the best destination
where it will be well used.
On
a personal note, I would ask for your prayers for WISDOM especially while in
Romania to know how best to use our limited resources in the face of great need
and for the ENERGY I will need to see the needs and make decisions
...........................
Please
continue to bless us with your prayers, remembering that PRAYER CHANGES THINGS
In
His service
