Pray:
Youth group beginning in June
That the planning for the new youth season would be organized and that we would follow God's leading.
That the faithful youth from last season would come back and that we would make the new youth feel welcome and at home quickly.
That the youth leaders would feel excited and encouraged to start a new season.
A young adults' group is in the works to start soon, after there not being one for years.
Safety in Ecuador
Continued violence. That we and our community would be safe.
Power outages and high temperatures have made life difficult. We have had a bit of respite recently-please pray that would continue.
Hope of Bastión school
New school year started in May. The teachers seem excited and encouraged. Please pray they would continue that way in the coming months.
For quick adjustment for the two new Christian education teachers. Junior high-Orlando, a young man who used to be a student at our school and Elementary, Anny-a Salvadorian missionary who is wonderful with kids. Pray too they would have wisdom to encourage the students to pursue Christ.
That we would find more monthly sponsors for the school.
For wisdom and strength for Raul as he helps make big decisions as part of the school board.
For our family
That we would have wisdom to raise our boys well between two cultures and languages.
That we would have a good balance between work and home life.
For Tiago in pre-school and Danilo in day-care.
That we as a family would be a blessing and testimony to those around us in our day to day activities.
