Thanksgiving outreach

Hi everyone,
We are hosting students for dinner and watching "The Passion" movie on Wednesday night. It is part of Thanksgiving celebration and an attempt to explain to students why Christians are thankful. Please pray for Mbagnick, Antoine, Sophie, Hadji and Hadji. These are some of our closest friends in country. I love staying that we are friends because the Lord is really building in us love for the students to whom we minister. Our team grows increasingly affectionate for our students the longer we remain in-country. Our team wants this group of students to understand the Jesus loves them not because of their goodness, but in spite of their sin. He died to receive worship from and give new life to our students. If I might ask, please ask that the Holy Spirit would open hearts to start a relationship with Him for the first time on Wednesday evening.

Finally, my grandfather's funeral is Wednesday in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Some of you knew my grandfather. My family and I appreciate the continued outpouring of prayer and sympathy. Thank you so much for your support. For my family, the children and grandchildren, especially my younger cousins Skyler, Garrett, Randell, and Angelina. I've been praying that the Lord would minister to the hurting in my family in a special way.
