prayer request.

I wanted to share some prayer requests with you that have been heavy on my heart recently. First, be praying for the spiritual needs in the community. Stephen and I have been leading a youth group on Thursdays and various worship nights. Be praying for these and other opportunities for spiritual conversation. On this note, we are need of Bibles. They have been asking for English bibles, and we are in search of the best deal. If you would like to be a part of this financially, let me know.
Second, we are looking into additional options for working. Most are working in a plant, chopping vegetables. The shifts are long and the conditions aren't great, but they are getting paid above minimum wage. We want to find some places to sell the goods they make--skirts, bags, baskets. They are also excellent farmers. We just need to find a way to use these gifts.
Lastly, pray for the finances of one of the elders, Steven Babin. I have mentioned him in the pictures below. He's an incredible man and has a wonderful wife and family of eight boys. Because of their large family, he had to incur a large portion of debt to come over from Burma; the government wouldn't pay for everyone to come. He made the hard decision to take on a large debt rather than leave some of his children behind--something we all would have done, but has left him in a hard position. He know has monthly payments he has to be making. Be praying for God to provide this money.
Thank you for your prayers--we have seem them answered before our eyes.
