Mustard Seed Jersey Prayer Update 2nd December 2010
Dear Praying Friends
Please continue to bless us with your prayers.
To start with an answer to prayer: FLORI (a young
Romanian woman well known to many of us, suffering with kidney failure and
needing dialysis) was very very poorly a few weeks
ago and was in hospital for 4 weeks; it seems her body was rejecting dialysis
altogether and the social workers were told that she would probably only live a
matter of days. Alex Stroie contacted us in Jersey,
also supporters in United States as well as churches and friends in Romania and
we all prayed. (I contacted everyone who I believed had actually met Flori when she visited us in Jersey) Amazingly her body
began accepting dialysis again - someone called it "a miracle". So be
encouraged prayer changes things.
Flori is still very
sick and without a kidney transplant or further miracle she will not live much
longer. Please pray for her - she is an inspiration to many who know her - pray
she will not suffer but will complete and fulfil the plan God has for on earth.
AID TRIP
BOB DE LA HAYE and NEIL FOWLER leave on Sunday
night (Dec 5th) to start driving to Romania first thing on Monday. As the
weather could be difficult please pray for them for SAFETY and a successful
trip. They stay in Romania to distribute Christmas shoeboxes for a few days
then plan to leave Romania on Monday 13th and back to Jersey on 16th
My husband PHIL PALLOT and I (ROSE HELIE) leave for Romania tomorrow (Friday 3rd). Please pray
for us also for safety and a successful trip. We are going down earlier in
order to spend some time with Flori before beginning
the shoebox and food parcel distribution. We are due back in Jersey on December
20th.
CHRISTINE HAMMOND is due to join us flying out on
December 8th for a week. Again the weather is a cause for concern regarding her
flights, so please remember her in prayer.
PRAYER NEEDS
In Romania - there are
now a number of ladies at Casa Mabel - all elderly with various needs. PLease pray for them: Maria, Lina,
Ana, Terez, Iuliana,
Adriana, Sora, Ilisco,
Cornelia and another Sora.
Dana the carer is on maternity leave having had a
beautiful daughter Cristiana.
Nelu supervisor and
cook at Casa Mabel recently had a health problem and is
off work for a number of weeks - it sounds as though he had a minor stroke.
Please pray for his healing and wisdom for Alex as to the way ahead.
In Jersey we are
agreed that sadly our Cargo lorry used for local collections and loading is
getting rusty etc and past economic repair and
must be replaced. Please pray God gives wisdom and helps us find the right
vehicle and provides the funds needed.
Another vehicle prayer
request: our faithful tractor unit (known as Bertha) which has done countless
aid trips since 1999 has also reached the end of useful life - to repair what
has recently gone wrong would cost in the region of £2000+. Since July we
have been blessed by being invited to use the French unit from Sarl Godard free of charge (Please pray God's blessing on
this generous business). As things are regarding our loading at present, for
moving our trailer to and from the harbour for shipping we still need a tractor
unit in Jersey. Please pray for wisdom and clear guidance for us on how to
proceed.
VOLUNTEERS
Some of our volunteers need your prayers:
Pray for Gwen and family following a double
bereavement
Pray for healing for Dave, David, Carol-Anne,
Christine and others
Please be encouraged - after months and months of
my husband Phil suffering from debilitating exhaustion about which we prayed
and many of you have prayed, a further blood test has revealed the problem and
since he began an ongoing course of injections he is worlds better. I am very
thankful to the Lord as it means he is well enough to come with me to Romania
now or else I would have been going without him.
Please continue to bless us with your prayers

PS While I am in Romania I plan to write a daily
diary after December 6th while should be uploaded to the website at http://www.mustardseedjersey.co.uk/docs/News_and_Needs.htm
PPS We plan a breakfast at
the Pomme D'Or Hotel on Saturday 22nd January. We
hope those involved in the aid trip will be there and will share about their
time in Romania. Reservations to Norman Hudson on 861996.
