Mustard Seed Jersey Prayer Update
January 2013
GIVE THANKS
that in spite of numerous difficulties the December aid consignment was finally
delivered safely. This proved a huge challenge as we had a trailer breakdown in
Germany on the way out, then because of adverse weather conditions the needed
part took 3 days to arrive! By then the original drivers felt they could not
complete the return trip so we had to fly out replacement drivers – all in all
an extremely expensive trip.
The BEAULIEU Convent School party were also delayed by a
technical problem at Budapest airport and as a result missed almost a day of
their programme. But none the less their days in Romania were very profitable,
the students were challenged and moved by what they saw and they really
encouraged the Trusts they visited.
ALEX & RODY STROIE come to Jersey between Jan 24th – 31st -
please pray this is a good time for them as well as for us in Jersey.
·
Rody’s main focus is to gain experience observing in a local
residential care home, with the intention that this may help at Casa Mabel.
·
Alex’s main focus
is to raise funds to build a community hall (for social assistance outreach) in
a village called Pagaia where he is now the Baptist
pastor.

ROMANIA PRAYER NEEDS
ü As the weather gets very cold, remember the homeless
and those who cannot afford fuel for heating. The charity FI
know a number of families and pensioners in this situation. Pray Nelu and Cristina will wisely use their limited resources.
ü While Alex and Rody are away
please for smooth running of all Mustard Seed Romania
projects.
JERSEY PRAYER NEEDS
Ø Mary Osmond (who has been a Mustard Seed Jersey
trustee for a number of years) has just retired as trustee. Please pray God’s
blessing on Mary and her husband Sam.
Ø Pray for the appointment of a new trustee, who will
bring new strengths and opportunities.
Ø Pray that someone will come forward who will be
willing to take responsibility for the trailer maintenance off me. We really
give thanks for the absolutely wonderful support we get from Marcus Sutton at
Sutton Transport, but it would be so much better if it was someone with more
knowledge than I have who was the link person.
Please continue to bless
us with your prayers – PRAYER CHANGES THINGS
