Mustard
Seed Jersey prayer update December 2019
December
13th 2019
Dear Praying Friends
Yesterday I received photos from Romania showing the Beaulieu Convent
School students distributing Christmas shoeboxes and visiting housebound
pensioners.
On Saturday Rinie and I travel over to Romania
to continue distribution. The Beaulieu students return to Jersey on Saturday.
Please remember these trips in your prayers.
We had a very successful Christmas shoebox appeal with a good number of
donated shoeboxes and amazingly we met all the requests. That was pretty
incredible as it seemed impossible at the start of the appeal. Thanks be
to God.
But overall less money has been donated to food parcels and bread which
is obviously very concerning especially for those people in Romania who rely on
the bread and food funds from Jersey provide in the coldest months. Please
pray we will have wisdom to know how best to use the resources available.
In November Ioli (Iolanda)
came to Jersey for the final visit and completion of the transformative dental
work she has received. (Mentioned in the May/June prayer update). Since this
work her self confidence and belief in herself has
grown greatly and she found and kept employment. Up till then she had not
managed to hold any job. Please do pray for Ioli.
Please thank God for the amazing generosity of Jersey Dental Care. Please
pray for us for wisdom to know the best way ahead to
continue to help people in need of dental care in Romania but who have no
chance whatsoever of affording even the most basic treatment.
I must apologise as I realise I never sent out
the prayer update I intended to send in October/November:
Since the last prayer update (September) we have raised sufficient funds
to run the Mustard Seed Romania homework club one day a week starting in
January. The AVS club continues to run two days a week. Funds have enabled Nelu to complete the two much needed toilets. Thanks
be to God for this provision.
God bless you – please do continue to bless us with your prayers.
In his service
Rose
