Challenges Ahead








In the last 2 months of 2009 Richard became aware that our data base on the computer was malfunctioning. Not all of the email letters sent were received. Not all the snail mail letters were sent because the data base wasn't responding corrrectly to the request for addresses. With XP being abandonned in 3 years; the need for a new data base; and an email sending server required, we are feeling ____overwhelmed____! Please pray for us as we seek to respond the best way possible through this messy situation, while still keeping you all informed.


In the first quarter of 2010 we have " plans" to travel locally to churches interested in international student ministry in CT, MA, NY, VT and NH. Timing, weather, and taxes are issues as we look to "hitting the road." Please pray for safety, and our ability to stay flexible as we go. Like Paul said he learned to be all things to all people, we wear many hats as we meet people from different backgrounds. We are always asking for God's wisdom and discernment.



We will be traveling to PA early in March, after our Northeast Regional Staff Conference in New York City, to teach our Friendship Partner Program. We are excited about this church that is stepping up to reach out to international students in their area. Please join us in praying for good soil for the seed God has given us to sow.
Thank you for your prayers!!!!! They are changing the world!!!!!
