Three Prayer Requests ....no, Four


-- Please continue to pray for Luana Chan's family.  Her sister Iliana did lose her baby and now has returned to the states with her husband.  Needless to say, this family has gone through a lot of tragedy and are having to find their way around their lives again.  I cannot share all the details, but please pray for wisdom and direction as they face not only big decisions, but also the daily tasks without mother and wife, and now baby, too.  (Pictured here, Luana speaking at her mother's funeral.)


-- Also, this week at Sojourn, we are blessed to have with us Larry Czerniak, a friend and retired pastor/principal from Ohio.  Larry will be conducting teacher workshops and student chapels at Sojourn.  Pray for a fruitful time in every area.

-- Please pray, too, for Tia and Katy this week.  Tia will be traveling to Honduras to see where Katy has been ministering this year near La Ceiba.  Katy is finishing up there this month, and on the 30th of March both will travel together back to Costa Rica.

-- Pray for our students in transition.  Many transitions occur in life and in the lives of our students, but this week we are particularly burdened for those older students moving with their families to these foreign places in order to serve in ministry.  Imagine the difficulties that teenagers face when they leave the friendships and family and support groups and have to begin anew.   For sake of privacy, we cannot share particular cases, but please pray for these individuals that their hearts will be open to what God can do with them in this new opportunity.
