Happy New Year :-)

I continue to have a tough time finishing things, probably due to interruptions from other things left unfinished, but at least 2002 is finished! Shirin, Jasmine, and I wish you a Jesus-filled 2003!

As you commit to reading the Bible this year, may I also encourage you to visit www.operationworld.org/ every day as you pray for the lost peoples of the world?

Last week...

(1) You prayed over the renewal of our visa as yet another visit came yesterday... not yet - maybe next month :-(

(2) You asked God to end the current conflict... I thought of giving the same answer as above but, wow, what faith that would take!

(3) As Jasmine continues to enjoy playgroup on Tue/Thur, you asked God to give her the extra measure of development she needs - she's growing so fast! Jasmine is becoming quite the young lady, and we appreciate your intercession for her!

This week...

(1) Continue praying for "Omar" to surrender his life to Jesus.

(2) Pray that new personnel coming to the area would continue to feel His leading and prompting.

(3) Ask God to be glorified as we visit with another group of worshipers.

May God find us listening more attentively to His voice this week as I am,

Yours because His,
