IMPORTANT!! Stuff To Pray For!

John and Nancy, send their greeting to you all. Both of them, along with Mark and I, have decided to get together and pray for about 2 hours every morning! I have to admit this will be more than I've ever prayed before. At first I was wondering about what we could possibly pray about that would take 2 hours every morning. Well, here it is:

1. House Rent (for which we have no money. It's due in about a week!)
   
2. Sauce Pans (We only have one that doesn't leak and it's wearin away fast)
   
3. Healthy varieties of FOOD (Beans and maize, three meals a day, for three weeks so far w/ occasional fruit)
   
4. Funds for school exams
   
5. Clippers! (for the kids hair. Evidently having anything more than a shaved head is shabby)
   
6. Funds for cell phone use (for social and safety reasons. Remember we have no electricity)
   
7. Firewood (for cooking the food we have)
   
8. Gas for lanterns (especially important for praising, study and eating after 6:00)
   
9. Children's Neccesities (Lotion, toothpaste, laundry soap, bathing soap, shoe polish, t.p.)
   
10. For God to raise up partners, supportors and friends for AMCC
    
11. What to do with the income generating projects (chickens? rice fields? cows? small business?)
    
12. A Self-Sustaining Project (This differs from and income-generating project in that it is something done that may not make a profit but will cut costs instead)
    
13. Upcomming Fundraising Project! (this is mostly for food to last through the year)
    
14. LAND! LAND! LAND! (There seems to be so many possibilities if we only had some LAND!)
    
15. Replacement workers and volunteers for AMCC
    
16. Funds to pay replacement workers
    
17. John Muhika (specifically for his chronic back pain and for good relationship with his family who lives in another town due to children's educational need)
    
18. The enemies of AMCC
    
19. Against any spiritual enemy or power of darkness
    
20. Intimacey in relationship within and amongst the staff and children
    
21. Health for the children and staff (getting sick is a serious threat because there is no health fund)
    
22. Future school fees for the children going to high-school next year
    
23. Wisdom in setting up a bank account
    
24. Vehicle for AMCC
    
25. That Mark and I would be more of an asset to the community supporting AMCC rather than a detriment
    
26. Wisdom and direction in decision-making
    
27. Strenght in Unity, Patience, Faith and Love for each of us at AMCC
    

Please pray with us over any of these issues! I know there's a lot here so I don't expect any of you to pray for them all, but pick a few please! It means so much to pray and it's so good for us to be asking the Lord for His Kingdom to come together.

As the Lord answers these requests and petitions, I will be updating the blog. The Father is so good! Till then...
