One of the great blessings from our recent time with co-workers was a visit from Dennis Swanberg, a comedian who loves Jesus and does a great impersonation of Barney Fife (among others). Be sure to visit him at www.dennisswanberg.com

+ Last week we met with "Gary" the architect to go the next step in bringing the Prayer Garden to its future state, so you joined us in asking for clear communication and understandable expectations as we see God glorified in this project... I believe we're all on the same page, progressing toward a detailed plan plotted out in phases. Your invested intercession is deeply appreciated.

+ Jasmine continues to ask questions about God and other spiritual things, so you joined me and Shirin in asking Him to give us His parental wisdom as we direct Jasmine to follow Him... wow, we definitely could tell the difference in our talks with Jasmine, so we're grateful for your prayers. It's a delight to "walk" with her, and see her grow.

+ You joined in prayer with Shirin and the other leaders of the women's Bible study for the salvation of the women who would be attending a follow up meeting to the Christmas party. A film about the plan of salvation was to be shown followed by a time of questions and answers... Shirin writes, "Thank you for praying for the follow up ladies meeting. There were 17 regulars as well as new ladies at the meeting. After watching a gospel film we had many an opportunity to pray with the ladies for different needs in their life. Continue to pray that the women will take more spiritual steps towards Jesus."

+ Jasmine asked for prayer for her new tooth to come in straight and not to hurt... she wants to thank you for praying, especially since the pain is gone. I asked her if the tooth was coming in straight, and she expressed concern about the "ridges" on the top :-)

<>< Jasmine has some time off from school due to an Islamic holiday, so ask God to grant our times together to be times of bonding.

>< Pray for the Arakanese People.>
