October Prayer Focus: Faces of the future

Please pray for the faces of the future -- the children and the young people of the DR Congo. Over 50% of the population is under the age of 18.

These are the ones the Lord will use to change the country.

Prayer focus: The Nutrition Program

During September, please pray for the Nutrition Program, as it provides food and nutrition for preschool children on he station and malnourished children from the nearby community.

The program touches some 200 children!

Back in Congo

We had a good trip up from Zambia to day. There was a little hassle at the border, but we got through without any problems.

Nkonde did the driving.

We will drive up to Mulungwishi on Friday so we will be there for graduation on Saturday.

Lori doing OK after scare

David and Lori have been travelling throughout the US visiting long-time supporters. They stayed with us for a few wonderful days, then headed to New York, then on to more stops.

On the way back to Denver, though, Lori complained of chest pains, so they stopped at the Dallas-Forth airport. A local ER near Dallas-Fort Worth airports found pneumonia near her heart, which had caused the pains.

Luckily they were able to stay with Baptist missionary friends (whom that had originally met in Zambia, it seems) until Lori could travel to Denver. Lori is on the mend, but can always use prayer.

Both David and Lori covet your prayers that they might return to DR Congo in July. Right now travel looks booked until August.

Prayers Focus for May

During May, please pray for the Women's School -- for Mama Lorene, Mama Kat, the teachers, staff, and students.

The Women's School (Masomo Mama Doris) provides education and training for the wives and the student pastors and others from he surrounding area to be women of God.

"We proclaim him by instructing and teaching all people with all wisdom so that we may present every person mature in Christ."
(Col. 1:28, New English Translation)
