Points for Prayer

April 17, 2011. Please read our new requests and updates below (in italics)

2011-006. Eric & Karyn Sorenson are praying about future directions in their ministry. They have been at Pacific Islands University & seminary four years as project missionaries.

2011-005. Pray for Jun Pejji and his family as they live in the midst of a mess while their house is renovated to become the future meeting place of the Pasig City church in Metro Manila. Pray also for the church pastors and leaders in the Infanta and Mindoro Island who are sacrificially serving in small, remote churches.

2011-004. MVF is still waiting for permission to import vitamins and minerals to go in our blended flour.

• More problems! The Thai FDA has rejected the paperwork from our supplier in Germany! Please pray for break-through. We are at our wits end!
  

2011-003. Missionaries and churches in Japan are mobilizing to bring relief and care for the suffering people of northern Japan. Please pray that they will come together in unity and have the funds to make a real difference in the communities in which they work.

• Jim Peterson, Jay Haworth, and and Tim Johnson have recently traveled north to some of the affected areas and are working closely with pastors and lay-people in the Japanese Covenant (NSKK) as well as other churches. Praise God for this united effort! We travel at the end of this week to visit missionaries and churches in Japan. The church will be celebrating its 60th anniversary on May 3. Gary Walter and Curt Peterson have made plans to be there. Pray for God's blessing on this celebration even in the midst of Japan's worst disaster since W.W.II.

2011-002. We're headed for the Philippines and Guam. Please pray that we will have productive visits and that God would use us to bring encouragement to his workers on the front lines.

• We're now back from these visits. Thank God for meaningful productive visits to both these places of ministry!

2011-001. Kevin and Ramona are searching for jobs now in L.A. After a year working in Laos, our son and daughter-in-law, are back in Orange County contemplating further studies, and looking for work. Please pray that their interviews would go well and they would both find the jobs they need!

• The job search is going well for both our children, though nothing definite has turned up yet.
