More Opportunities for Prayer

This week has been a doozy! 
VEHICLE UPDATE
The Jeep has been in the shop since the last email, six weeks ago.  Monday we got a call from the mechanic saying "he could not help us this time and he was not aware of anyone in town who could".  After a mild freak-out we prayed and God has lead us to someone who has experience working on Jeeps so we will be having the Jeep towed to him tomorrow.  It has been very stressful coordinating our crazy life with one vehicle.  Especially since the one vehicle we are left with does not drive straight and the tires are bad and it is rainy season so it has been pretty dangerous road conditions at times.  We have not been able to put it in the shop because we need at least one working vehicle.  We have no idea when or if the Jeep will be back up and running so we are praying for wisdom in what move to make next.  You guys have graciously provided $5800 so far!  We are so thankful for your generous gifts.  It is looking like we will need at least $4400 more to be able to look at a newer model vehicle.  We can not sell the Tahoe at this time to add to the amount not knowing the condition of the Jeep.  Please continue praying with us for God to provide the vehicle/s we need.  

SHELTER NEWS
The shelter has received many new girls and children over the past few weeks.  As always when many new people enter at once there are issues.  Conflicts arise and the superstitious thoughts of the villages are brought in.  The girls have been telling me stories of demons and spirits being seen all around the home.  This has happened in the past and usually starts when certain games are played.  I taught the Armor of God study last Thursday and we talked about putting on our armor daily to fight against our enemy, Satan.  The girls have an irrational thought that God is in the classroom where we do Bible Study and not in their rooms at night, which is where they keep seeing and hearing spirits.  So after study we went to each room and read a Psalm and prayed over each girl who sleeps in that room.  I left them with verses to read each night and encouraged them to pray together in their rooms before bedtime.  Please continue to pray for their eyes to be open to the Truth of the gospel and to know that God is with them every where they go.  Also for peace to reign.  

SCHOOL TALK
School has also had its challenges these past couple of weeks.  I have been very clearly sharing the gospel in chapels and have had great responses from the students as they are beginning to understand real Truth.  We have also been working on teaching on the meaning of true worship,  This is something new to them.  Satan is having a field day literally and we have experienced more power outages, rain dripping down the wall ruining the connections on our brand new TV monitor (purchased just for chapel) and loud rain storms at the most inopportune moments.  We have yet to have power or a working monitor for the words to the worship songs during Junior High and High School chapel this school year.  We started a worship team this year and their heart for worship is amazing.  It has been wonderful seeing a couple students stand up to lead and teach their peers about worship.  It has been a learning experience for them to see Satan attacking the work they are doing.  Please pray along with us; Gerald, myself, our principal and the Jr high Bible teacher, who is coordinating the worship team.  We will be meeting every Wednesday at 1:50-2:10 to pray for our students and for God to cover our chapel times.  If you are free at this time on Wednesdays please join us and pray for our students.  Our chapels are Wednesdays 2:15-3pm.  
Make no mistake, God is working in Xela, Guatemala!  We covet your prayers and know they sustain us as we press on.  Please continue in praying as there are many other stories we could tell and many other opportunities for prayer at school as well as the shelter and prison. God knows all the details and He hears us. 
Thank you for your continued prayer and support.
