Your prayers have been heard!
Homosexual ‘pride’ event in Jerusalem postponed, deferring to Gaza pullout. 

+ You asked God to speak to the heart of a young man with whom Scott has been sharing the Good News. They share an interest in computers, and Scott has "crossed the bridge" to share the message of forgiveness. You joined us in praying to see his spirit awakened by what God has done so the work of discipleship may begin... wow, is he on the run! Although I've seen him more this week than in previous weeks, he's been finding an excuse to avoid any lengthy time to talk. Continue to pray such conviction!

+ You prayed with Shirin and the other leaders of the ladies Bible study in the Old City that the Easter story would be clearly presented, and you prayed that the ladies would make a clear decision to follow the one true God... Shirin writes, "Thank you for praying. We must have picked the coldest and windiest day in May to go on a picnic, but thank the Lord we had the biggest turnout of ladies in months. The Easter story was presented and many good questions were asked. We plan to discuss Easter again next time."

+ Jasmine's final month of being 5 could use an extra measure of grace, so you're continuing to pray for her spiritual insights... it's amazing to see the changes that come about and the "right words" repeated that she's heard so often. What a joy it will be to see it all become personal!

<>< Pray that I'd have the right insight as I continue to prepare a desktop computer for use in the Prayer Center library.

<>< Rumor has it that around three dozen visiting intercessors will be in the Garden tomorrow. Join me in asking God to speak to someone's heart about adopting an unreached people group!

<>< Our camera repair is finishing its fourth week, and we have yet to hear anything positive. Ask God to stir up the repair man to do what he said he would do last month. (I think most of you know how much and how often we use that camera.)

<>< Jasmine has another "liquid nitrogen" appointment this week, so pray that she would endure the treatment and be free of the plantar wart.

<>< Jasmine has a birthday party at school with the other girls born in May. Pray that a memorable time be had.

>< Pray for the Bhama people.>
