It's been about a month since we last wrote here on the blog and so much is going on. We are like Grand Central Station here at our furlough base in Falmouth these days. Rachel is recently back from Mississippi and extremely blessed by that experience. Allyson is wrapping up her tour-of-duty in Vietnam with Orphan Voice and Redeeming Families. And Steve is only one day away from leaving on his return trip to Thailand where he will be teaching on “Directing Video” in the School of Frontier Media. After a week in Thailand with old and new friends, Steve flies directly to India for about two weeks to continue work on the rough-cut of the M*rwari film and to teach young Asians on video production in a discipleship training program.
Praises for:
- Rachel's successful ministry trip to Mississippi with the Lanesville Congregational Church
- Allyson's time of abundant blessing in Vietnam (She returns Saturday night)
- Steve's ability to finish the rough-cut of the M*rwari film on time and for the school preparations going well
- a wonderful tour with old friends and family in Southern CT in July.
Please Pray for:
- a continuation of ministry effectiveness in Vietnam for Allyson and the team for this week
- for the orphans of Danang (more on them in the next post)
- safety for travel for Steve and Allyson coming and going from Asia in the next few days and
specifically for on-time, uneventful flights—Steve has some tricky connections that if missed will be problematic so we hope to avoid that
- all of Steve's equipment and gear making it all the way to Chiang Mai and back in one-piece
- health during the trip
- Steve to be a blessing to the students and teammates at the two centers he will be visiting over the next month.
- overcoming jet lag and great focus for teaching and editing video in the next few weeks.
- Nana and grandpa who stay with the kids for 4 days while Steve leaves before Ally returns
- Samuel's preparations for University and the girls returning to school in the fall
- an increase in our regular giving needed for us to return to our base of operations overseas
- wisdom in making decisions about the many exciting ministry plans for the Fall (Thailand outreach, Cape Town 2010 conference in South Africa, YWAM 50th Anniversary in Florida, etc.).
