Saturday

“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now,

and don’t get worked up about what may

or may not happen tomorrow.

God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up

when the time comes.”

~Matthew 6:34 MSG~

David Allen has been doing okay the last few days.  Continue to pray for him and his family.  There will be a jambalaya benefit for him at FBC, Kentwood Sunday.  Donations will be received when you pick up your bos(es).

Continue to pray for  the LaBauve family.

Dancing on tip-toe

The people of Central Asia love to dance.  The folk dances performed at celebrations and festivals can be really hard to do.  The men move with strong arm motions.  The women dance nimbly on tip-toe and look like they are floating across the stage. They look so graceful. They wear long dresses that hide the really fast movement of their feet.  Everyone dances in a circle, and then some women step into the circle and whirl around.  They all clap gently.

It’s a little like the way the Circassian (sir-KAY-shun) women of the North Caucasus* live every day.  They look graceful and calm on the surface, but they are working hard to provide for their families. One woman’s husband does almost nothing to support the family.  She has a disabled child. And she has some health problems too.

Several Christian women have made friends with her.  They pray for her and read the Bible with her. Would you pray for her too?  We call her M.  Pray that she will trust Jesus to help her with all of her problems. Pray for M to learn to love Jesus just like her friends do.

*The North Caucasus is just north of Georgia—not the state but the country!

Prayer Requests from Missionary Kids

Pray for “Gustavo”—he is a deaf man who is Paraguay’s first deaf Pastor.  He is also very poor.  He lives in the attic in the church.  But it is only 15 X 15 long and wide.  He has a deaf wife and a hearing pastor so please pray for his work and family.  Thank you.  ALYSE, age 11 (American peoples)

Please pray for T.  He is one of my friends.  Please also pray that kids in China will learn about Jesus.  AIDEN, age 8 (East Asian peoples)

You can be a part by praying, giving, and going.

Have a great day preparing for the Lord’s Day.
