Prayer Requests

1) Praise for the money that we received to fix our van and that it is finally fixed.
2) Praise for a great Junior/Senior banquet—everyone enjoyed the venue, the food, and the program. The theme was “One candle lights a thousand” and the speaker challenged the seniors to shine for God.
3) Pray for good health for everyone, especially as the year winds down and people are getting tired and hot season is approaching us.
4) Pray for the many events that culminate the school year: end of the year testing and reports, meetings, banquets, fine arts programs, projects, and exams for the different classes. Students get tired and "spring fever" hits. Many are emotional as seniors will be leaving their parents and friends. Over 25% of staff and students go on furlough or change their ministry, so there are many that are in transition which is a stretching time. We will also be saying goodbye to friends, some for a year or two, and some we may not see again.
5) Pray for more teachers. Many key positions are still open. Most of the people in my department are leaving or going on home assignment.
6) Pray for wisdom as we plan our summer. Ben has his Eagle project to finish; Ben and I will go on a basketball ministry trip; we might foster an 18 month old boy for the summer; Walter needs to complete some paper work for his department; plus we need to spend some family time.
