Everyone is wondering who<br \/>\nwill win. As you can see from the picture above, 7-11 is running a sweet<br \/>\nelection poll. Elections here in the past have caused a lot of unrest and<br \/>\nsometimes bloodshed. Please pray for a peaceful election and that God&#8217;s<br \/>\nwill, will be done.<\/p>\n<p>Our two college students, Carrie and Thomas, are finishing up their school<br \/>\nyears and will soon be moving on to their summer activities. Carrie will be<br \/>\nstaying at PCC for the summer and working in the kitchen as cook and student<br \/>\nsupervisor in the dish room. Thomas is going to leave Liberty and pursue an<br \/>\nonline degree while living in Oregon. They would both appreciate your<br \/>\nprayers for their final tests this week and next.<\/p>\n<p>Please continue to pray for the ongoing Bible studies and translation.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your prayers,<br \/>\nJonathan &amp; Heidi<\/p>\n<p><!--Posted by Email--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April was crazy busy and the one-after-the-other string of events continued right up until the end of the month.
