Weekly update

First, let me say a big "thank you" to those of you who pray for us. We need it! Just because there is not a crisis going on at this time does not mean that we don't need your prayers. We do need them … all the time.

When you pray, keep in mind Tonga. She is out of the hospital having completed her first round of chemotherapy treatments. She still has at least four more rounds of chemotherapy treatments. Pray that God would strengthen her body before her next round of treatments to enable her to endure them. But mainly, continue to pray for her salvation!

Ganpurev and I have started another home Bible study. However, this one combines nearly three families. I have been excited about their earnest study. Each of them has been diligent in doing their lessons and faithful to memorize the verses. They even agreed to meet at 8:00 in the morning to enable one of the students to attend the home Bible study before work. He gets off too late at night to do the lessons then. Pray for their spiritual growth.

Most of you know that we have a furlough coming up in November. That means that there are many loose ends to tie up before we leave. Pray for wisdom to prioritize our time correctly and pray for servants to serve in our place while we are away.
