PMU Summer Prayer Requests July-September, 2007

• Miriam F – Asia. Praise for the Lord’s sustaining grace through recent health challenges. Semester of teaching English is over for now, and personal work will demand much time and effort. Pray for safety (her field is clamping down on Christian workers with renewed vigor), and continued support.
• Mark Baldwin – Cambodia. Praise for a new apartment and means of transportation (a 100cc moto!). Praise for progress in language studies, which are going very well. Mark is able to fellowship with a BP church plant in another part of the city, for which we are grateful. Pray for opportunities to connect with local people; for evangelistic doors to open; for good health and endurance in the great heat of Phnom Penh. Mark will travel to Florida in August for Synod, so please pray also for the Lord’s journey mercies upon him.
• Ed and Lehia Paauwe – Australia. Ed is recovering well from back surgery in May. July will see him and Lehia traveling to Melbourne to do some ministry there. Ed has been able to return to preaching on a limited basis. Praise for their good support, and progress in the development of Evangel Bible Institute. Praise for the good ministry of the Word of God in the Perth congregation.
• Khawl and Mawite Kima – Myanmar. The work in Myanmar continues to expand and flourish, in the midst of a country that struggles to maintain equilibrium and order in the face of a totalitarian regime. Praise for the thriving church in Yangon; the new orphanage location in Yangon; the church plants in other parts of the country; and interest on the part of many in the BPC of Myanmar. Pray for more regular monthly supporters for their account.
• Len and Karen Pine – Home Office, USA. Praise for God’s faithfulness in travel and opening doors. Praise for leading Karen to work in the office as the new Missions Assistant, as Mrs. Ruth Pine (Len’s mother) retires from her faithful service. Pray for more regular monthly supporters; for minor surgeries during the summer for Karen and Eli; for preparations for summer camp and Synod.
• Team Timothy Brazil – Praise for all funds raised; for good preparations; for all visas received. Pray for travel mercies for July ministry; for open hearts to receive the Word; for safety and good health for the team members as they undertake the hard physical labor of church construction; and for sweet fellowship in their labors together.
