There are many...but here are a few specific prayer requests for you to bring to God's throne on our behalf.
Pray for two that we met on the plane. They have college graduation ceremonies soon and will move on to other things. Pray for them as the seek truth and peace in their lives.
Pray for us; the missionaries; the pastor and regular volunteers as we co-ordinate Easter Sunday's Sunday School and church service. Our students will be teaching all of the Sunday School classes - using the ressurrection eggs. It all has to remain flexible...but we are prepared for the ladies to do their praise dance, the drama crew to do the skit, Justin and Julien to give their testimonies, Julia to sing a solo and Justin & Julia to led a couple of worship songs. Also, the two Africian girls and Julia will sing their piece. The pastor will preach. We will be feeding all the children lunch after the services (which won't end until 1 or 1:30). Pray that we will have enough food. There will be between 85 and 120 children to feed. Afterwards we will play games with them for awhile.
Pray for Tuesday when we return to the same Safe House we were in on Friday. We will do a program again, have small groups and more individual mingling. We will also have the face painting station, a nail salon and a drama clinic - teaching the students to do the drama that we have done for them. Virginia has been asked to counsel a couple of the older girls. Pray for her with the cultural and language barrier issues. While the kids are doing games, etc...Jon Naz & Virginia will lead some training seminars for the workers as well. Pray for this. They need to be professional and beneficial for the people. The administrator of the facility has wanted training for his workers, but has never been able to get it approved. He feels that if this is beneficial; then future trainings could be approved. Jon will lead sessions on games and "camping" activities. Virginia will lead some sessions on counseling issues such as cutting and suicide. All this with no materials here!
Pray for Dolly and several others from Calvary Baptist. Pray for the older girls at the Safe house and one of the worker men who were very interested in the gospel message.
Always, pray for safety, stamina, joy, wisdom, spiritual eyes as we work in these places.
Thanks for the prayers and your support!

How wonderful it is to hear the many ways You all are being used for His glory! As I prepare for Easter service here tomorrow, I am mindful of all of you and am interceding for you - that the power of God working unto salvation will shine brightly through you as you share the gospel. Rejoice in the hope we have in Jesus and may your hearts be moved with the compassion of the Lord as He gives you opportunities to make Him known.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteHappy Ressurection Day! I will keep everyone and every activity in prayer. I thank God for the sacrifices that Mr. Naz and Mrs. Tuley has made in order to have a mission trip to South Africa. This truly the work of the Lord. I am very thankful to God for using all of the young men and women from Kings to spread the love of God and God's Word. Julien we love you and miss you, have an awesome time, take plenty of pictures of everyone in SA.
Love Mom
P.S. - Chris wants to know when you will be back, he is missing you already- L0L
Praise God! Praise God! To the entire Kings team seeing the photos and reading the comments fill our hearts with joy knowing the work that is being done to win souls and build the Kingdom of the Lord. Our prayers are with all of you. I wish I could be there to feel the love that is being spread in Gods name. The Lord is smiling upon all of you in this important task that you are fulfilling in his name. May God bless and continue to keep you in his loving arms.
ReplyDeleteJulien I love you and miss you so much. It felt so good to hear from you on Easter Sunday it made my day.
Your Dad.
