Mustard Seed Prayer Update
Dear Praying
Friends
TRIPS
Because this prayer update is much later than planned being sent to you,
I can start by asking you to thank God for the safe arrival of our aid lorry in
Romania (just a couple of hours ago as I write this in the evening) and ask
that you will pray for its safe return and especially for drivers NEIL MOURANT
& MERVYN RICHARDSON.
The outward trip was not without its problems as the alternator belt
stopped working. Amazingly the Volvo mechanic was already on the site working
on another vehicle just a few yards away. That seems to be one of those “God
arranged co-incidences” that certainly saved us much time! Neil and Mervyn are
expected back in
You may remember that I asked for your prayers for the provision of a
suitable vehicle to use for the pensioners home – a very suitable vehicle has
been donated and should be down in
Soon after our return to
FLORI
In January we
asked for prayer for Flori as the possibility of a kidney transplant had
emerged. We thank God for the great response to our appeal for money to pay for
Flori’s operation – and the money needed was raised or promised within 3 weeks.
But before the end of February we had disappointing news that the donor had
changed her mind. We have the money kept safe in a bank account ready for when
it is needed. Please pray for Flori and that God will lead and guide very
clearly. Remember Flori’s health in your prayers as at times she is quite
poorly after dialysis. We believed the unexpected offer of a kidney donation
was in answer to our prayers and we entrust Flori into God’s keeping that she
will receive divine healing and pray for any other potential donor.
NEWS & PRAYER
REQUESTS
ALEX & RODI STROIE – Alex works very hard for Mustard Seed Romania,
we thank God for Alex and Rody and pray God will shower him and his family with
blessings and that God will equip him with wisdom.
ANA – one of the sponsored pensioners is due to have cataract surgery on
Monday 31st – please remember her in your prayers. Her home
situation is very poor and overcrowded with her grandchildren coming to her for
shelter after their alcoholic father beat them. (Nelu the social worker says
the single room apartment is so crowded he found it impossible to even sit
down).
We have been given about 10 tonnes of toiletries and some clothing from
HEALING – for all those listed in the last prayer update as being in need of
healing their health has improved or their situation has changed and is being
resolved. Please remember Lucille (a prayer supporter) for healing.
Please continue to pray for the remaining £10,000 needed for the building
project for the pensioners’ home. (The foundations should be laid by the end of
this month).
KATHY LANGSTON – I have just received a very concerning email from Kathy
(literally as I was completing this update) which has made me alter what I had
written concerning her. Kathy’s contains an urgent prayer request. She had
previously been told that all the paperwork was in order for her to proceed
with adopting CODI & ANDREA (the 2 little girls she fosters). But today she
received a phone call to say she needs more interviews and permissions,
including an interview on Monday 31st with a social worker Kathy has
in the past found to be very difficult. She asks for our prayers very
specifically for the matter of Andrea’s birth certificate and for herself that
Kathy will be able to fully understand the proceedings which will be in
Romanian. [Please do make this a priority in your prayers as I believe the
timing of Kathy’s email was another example of God arranged co-incidence].
On a happier note, Kathy is due to be moving to a very pleasant new apartment
at the end of May.
Please continue
to bless us with your prayers. We really believe that God answers prayer.
God bless you
In His service
