Prayers

Please keep Pat in your prayers. She's about 80 and has be diagnosed with a very aggressive leukemia. The doctors have given her 6 months to remain here. The good news is that she knows the Lord.

Pray for comfort for the family and that she can visit the region once more before she goes to her real Home in heaven!

Prayer Needed!

Dear friends, We know a sweet woman named Pat. She is in need of your prayers. She was having trouble with blood clots and had surgery to remove some of them. They put a screen in so others wouldn't travel up her legs. The doctors found out that she had a low white blood cell count and cannot get it to come up. They don't know what's wrong but expect it could be a type of cancer.

Her grown daughter is also in the hospital in a medically induced coma because of some trouble with her diabetes. (Sorry I don't know the details here...)

Please pray for these two situations.

What now?

What a neat privelege to be a listener. The "world" seems to have an answer for everything (actually several different answers), but who is ever there to listen? Over the last week I've had a great reminder that simply hearing from others is one of the most important roles we can fill in the lives of others.
I'm reminded of 2 quotes... "Share a happy thought, double the joy; share a sorrow, half the pain." and...
---uhm, and the second quote I just forgot what it was but it was a good one!

Humanity is so fragile! I asked the questiion today, "WHy do people pretend they have it all together when they really don't?" We're all so afraid of being seen in a negative light that we keep secret the struggles that are really contolling our lives. I'm so thankful the God has seen the depths of our hearts and still loves us. Lets share our weknesses all the more so that the stength of God might be all the greater..."I will boast in my weakness all the more because in my weakness He is strong."

It has been a dog's age since we last posted on this site. Sorry bout that to any loyal "blog-checkers"! We have been moving alla around as usual. We are soooo ready to have a place we call home!!!!!!!!! (could I put enough exclamation marks?) We are still raising our necessary montly support and at last we have broken 55%. It may seem like we've been doing this for a long time to many of you (as it does to us), but it is no easy task to raise all the necessary funds to fund years of ministry- where we can dedicate ourselves fully to reaching college students. It has been a time of seeing so many caring people show us grace by lending a hand or by investing in the awesome ministry God has put before us. We are praying that a miracle will get us to campus before that clutch 1st week of class. If we don't reach the students that 1st week we'll be playing catch-up for the next 4 years of their college life.

Technology Troubles

Sorry our printings are coming out late. We have had many printer troubles but alas, they are finished.

We want to congratulate our friends who have graduated this year. Woo Hoo!

Semester's Almost Over

This is the time of the semester that "summer fever" hits. It's also the time for Finals.... ugh!

We are so excited what God has done on the campus at WVU this past year. God has been working to mobilize students to reach others with the gospel.

How great that 34 students from WVU have followed God's call in their lives to Go, make disciples of all nations... (Mt 28:18) That's right, WVU is sending 34 students on summer projects. These projects are designed to teach valuable leadership skills and give students the opportunity to do evangelism. 20 of those students will be going overseas!

As the semester is finishing up, we ask that you join us in prayer:
1) Pray for the college students who are completing their last week of class and beginning to study for their finals.
2) Pray for high school seniors who are completing their last month of high school and are preparing to head off to college.
3) Pray for the staff and students who will heading to summer project this month.
4) Pray that God will enable us to be on campus this fall.

Thanks for your partnership in prayer. Please let us know how we can be praying for you. I'd like to close with the words of Don Moen's song, Sing for Joy

Sing for joy to God our strength
Sing for joy to God our strength, our strength

If we call to Him, He will answer us
If we run to Him, He will run to us
If we lift our hands, He will lift us up

Come now praise his name, all you saints of God.

Draw near to Him, he is here with us
Give Him your love, He's in love with us
He will heal our hearts, He will cleanse our hands
If we rend our hearts He will heal our land.


Praise God!
