Please join us in prayer for these things that are on our hearts right now:**Jeff is taking 10 older boys on a 6 day hiking trip (Mar. 27-Apr.1). The boys have never been on a trip like this before, and they are thrilled to have the opportunity. (They said they won’t even sleep the night before they leave!) Please pray that they will see a different side of God through His beauty as they trek through the Himalayas about 9 hours north of here. Pray for a spirit of vulnerability and openness among the group and that God’s Spirit would be at work in their hearts as they have times of Bible study, prayer, and reflection. Thanks to Storehouse Trust for making the trek possible. This will be life-changing for the boys!
**Jeff has been developing curriculum for Moral Science (Bible) class for grades K-8 at the school. Basic topics and layout should be completed by April 4. Ninety percent of the kids who attend this Christian school come from Hindu families, so the challenge is to teach these truths in a way that respects their heritage, but calls them to the One True God . . . Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
**My sister, Amanda, has become a houseparent for the smallest boys here. This is an incredibly challenging task, but she’s doing a wonderful job. Please pray for her and check out her blog to read more details.

Jeff, I promise to be faithfully praying for you as you lead these boys "through the wildnerness. What a journey you will experience! I will be so anxious to hear all the details...especially how it impacts these boys. If you have time, would you please send us the names of the boys who are going? Are you taking the camera with you? Hope so! "Be strong and courageous. Do not be discouraged. Do not be terrified, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go!" Josh 1:9 I will be praying this for the boys, and that they will sense His presence as never before, and that you will be used greatly by God to accomplish His purposes in each one of your hearts! Love you so much, Jeff. Mom

We pray for you so often - it's nice to have these specifics to add (and we'll pray for a quick end to the lice, too!)
God Bless your trip.......praying for you all in Ohio. {your wife posted on our blog a year ago & all of the sudden you guys went from Pasadena to India!} Checking in often to watch your journey unfold.
We take so much for granted in the USA. We need to share our blessings with others.
