Into December

Not a lot to write about, yet a lot going on. We've been calling and checking and praying for the container. At this point, the boat is in...not sure if our container is off yet or not. But we can't do anything until we get our Quintus updated. Can't do that until the man who has to put his signature on it is back. Supposed to be early this week... we'll see. So, that is a prayer request. Pray for the container to come in, our Quintus to be signed and the inspection done. And then the HUGE prayers... pray for the cost to be lower than before. We really, really need to have these costs come down so we can get these things to the people more quickly. This container has most of our Christmas Bags on it, and we are SO praying it will get here BEFORE Christmas so we can distribute some of these gifts. We don't have an increase in numbers on the bags, but we sure do on the number of churches and schools who would like to get them. Another huge prayer request.

We've had a busy week with catching up and getting ready for our January teams. Trying to get things in order and get plans made. keep all of our future teams in prayer. They are planning to accomplish so much and giving of their time and money to do it is awesome. We pray that the Lord will bless them beyond measure for this sacrifice for Him.

Keep MFI in your prayers as well. The coming 3 flight days will be very hectic. They have a warehouse full of packages for the missionaries and we are praying they will be able to deliver all of them before Christmas. From here to April is a VERY busy time for them, and they will need all the prayers you can send up for them. Without them we would be floundering here, so we depend on them a LOT for everything.

For now, I'll close and pray that the Lord will bless your holidays... please remember to keep Christ at the center of your CHRISTmas.
