MUSTARD SEED
JERSEY PRAYER UPDATE May 5th 2017
As I write this prayer update I
say a big Thank You to our Lord for how it has all worked out so well
regarding loading our spring aid consignment which is to be shipped this
weekend.
The loaders commented on how
amazingly well the trailer dimensions worked with the combination of a couple
of hundred chairs and approx. 60 bicycles (not the easiest items to pack!) as
well hundreds of packed boxes and bags …… We give thanks to our Heavenly Father
who without doubt is the Master Packer and Loader – before we started we had
prayed it would work out well and so it did.
ROMANIA PRAYER POINTERS:
Kathy Langston:
KATHY
has told us that she and her daughters CODI & ANDREEA will be leaving
Romania at the end of July. The poorer health of Kathy’s parents in Canada has
prompted the timing of this decision. Both girls are delighted to be moving to
Canada where they have regularly visited.
One
area of concern is the orphan children Kathy and the girls take out each
weekend. Kathy very much asks for prayer that others will be willing to take
out the kids as these outings mean a huge amount to them.
The
work Kathy funds and oversees among special needs children and young people in
residential homes in Oradea will be continued by the staff she has been
employing for a number of years, please hold this in prayer.
Mustard Seed Romania:
Pray for ALEX &
SERGIO as they arrange the complicated paperwork requirements for receiving and
passing on the relief aid. Please pray that the officials they deal with will
all be people of integrity.
Corruption has been a huge problem
in Romania – pray efforts to end the corruption will be successful.
JERSEY PRAYER POINTERS:
PREMISES FOR CHRISTMAS SHOEBOXES: for
the last 13+ we have been truly blessed with premises we were able to use for
the shoebox appeal and also throughout the year. But this is coming to an end.
Please pray we will find suitable premises for the shoebox appeal. (Our
premises for general aid packing are unchanged; it is just the premises for the
shoebox appeal that we need). Please join us in praying for God’s favour.
At the end of this year, we expect we will need 2 new TRUSTEES.
Please hold this in your prayers.
Nehemiah 2 v 8 talks of how following a time of concentrated prayer,
Nehemiah’s requests were granted by the king “because the gracious hand of God
was upon him”. Be encouraged to continue to support us & bless
us with your prayers.
Yours in
Christ
