Prayer:
- Pray for wisdom for me (Phil) as I work with the draft of Proverbs and 1 Peter.
- *Answered: I will have my gall bladder removed (if all goes well, laproscopically) on February 1. The recovery often takes five days. Please pray that I will be in the normal group, because of our travel plans (below). Feb14, from North Carolina: I’m feeling great. Thanks for praying.
- Please pray for Gale (and me!) to be able to handle a trip to South Carolina starting February 7. We’ll attend a wedding and speak at our home church in Columbia. Please pray for me to drive safely and to stay awake!
- *Answered! We were able to see many praying friends, including short trips to North Carolina (to see friends) and Georgia (to see Gale’s family).
- Please pray that Internet connection problems in Oreo Province can be solved, so that Isaak, Boas, and Poppy can work without so many frustrating interruptions.
- It would be very helpful to find Christians from Oreo Nation living in the USA who would be willing to volunteer to help us part time. So far I have not been able to make direct contact with any of them. Please ask the Lord to open doors!
