Hi Everyone...
I am going to try and do this on a weekly basis. I realize not everyone will be able to check it all the time, but whenever you can, I thank you for your prayer and support. :) This will be both Tree of Life prayer requests and personal ones as one definitely affects the other! I will be adding a Tree of Life blog link, too, for more updates on specific book projects, etc....which leads right into prayer requests! :)
PRAYER REQUESTS: Oct.5, 2005
- Pray that God would help me with this blog spot, newsletters and other forms of communication...this is really a goal of mine, to better communicate with all of you.
- I have a new employee...(I had one employee get married and leave). Zhenia has agreed to work with me for a wage MUCH lower than her previous wage because she feels God has called her to help me...and I agree! She is a bright professional woman who has all the strengths I don't (bookkeeping background, etc.), and loves Jesus, too! But even with her willingness to accept a lower wage, the wage that I feel like I am to pay her is a bit of a stretch. Please pray for provision for her salary. God has ALWAYS provided enough to pay everyone and I know He will continue to, but I would appreciate your prayers on this.
- We are doing a mini-bookfaire for one of our churches in southern Ukraine (Dnipropetrovsk). Please pray for all the preparations. Conferences are always fun but a lot of work. And I am training new employees.
- A young friend (daughter of missionaries with a different mission) will be coming with us on this trip to help out. Please pray that God would bless her and her time at this conference.
- We (Tree of Life) have an opportunity to buy a van. This would be a HUGE blessing, as we are always hiring taxis to haul books here and there. It is from another missionary and is a good deal.Pray that all this would fall into place as God wants it.
