Hi!
So I am going to solicit some prayers from you guys, if you don't mind.
Please pray for:
1) Good connections with people. Right now, we are pretty much wandering around, meeting people, talking to people, finding people who speak English, or want to learn English, and praying for people who want to be prayed for. Please pray for God to guide us to the right people, to walk down the right street, and to run into the right people.
2) Two girls, Uum, and Ying. They are 14 and 15 year old girls who live in the slums in Ekkamai, and when we walked through there last Sunday, Uum's father asked us to take them to church and beat them up. Kind of a silly question, but he's worried that while he and her mother go upcountry for work, that the girls are going to get in with the wrong group of people, and get pregnant before they get back. Men in the slums offer the girls gifts, and place to live, in return for sexual favors- resulting in girls who are younger than my little sister getting pregnant. It's absolutely sickening, but in many of these areas, its a reality. So we invited Uum and Ying to youth group on Sunday, and offered to come and get them. So please pray a) for their safety- weekends get dangerous, because there is no school or work. And b) please pray that they will come to youth group with open hearts and open minds.
3) Our new dorms need power! Administration is in limbo right now with officials with the power station, and this can either be a swift, easy, painless process. Or it can be a long, tedious, frustrating process. Well, we have a bunch of people coming next week... so it needs to be the first one! Please pray for God's hand to be on this!
4) Last thing, I promise. God has been revealing some of the things that are coming next in life, so please pray for patience through the process, and confirmation.
Yeah, that's about all I got. Appreciate your prayers!
Today we walked around a Muslim neighborhood in Ekkamai, and got to pray for a family; we met a whole bunch of kids, and ladies, so that was really exciting, and we made connections to go back on Sunday. I'm so excited!
Anyway, I'm exhausted, so Good Night, have a fantastic day!
