Dear Prayer Partners,

     The devil hates light and does all he can to stop people receiving 
Christ. But we can trust God to hear our prayers and orchestrate situations that 
will best serve His purposes, in spite of uncomprehensible circumstances.  Last 
night, we were expecting my brother Paul, his wife Rachele and their young 
children who who traveled from Australia to visit my family in England. They were 
coming to be with us for a few days, right on our campus where they would 
have been exposed to much light, and seen Christ's life manifested in many 
people.  Unfortunately, their flight got cancelled and there are no "replacing" 
flights which fit their schedule.  I have not seen my brother for six years or so, 
and I may never see him again because of the great geographical distance and 
expense of traveling so far.  He is not yet saved.  This seems a very sad 
situation.
     Please pray for Paul & his family, and pray even now that God might open 
another possibility for them to come.  Or, althernatively, if God would have 
myself or my family go there, that He would also open up that possibility (ri
ght now, the flight situation is difficult also).  

FRANCE -  YOUTH & CHILDREN   
     Please pray for our Christian Day School, for new teachers for the Fall, 
and also for a future International School.   
     Pray for God to send us another dynamic youth pastor, and more youth 
workers to surround the teens.  Pray for the youth, especially those making wrong 
decisions.  Pray for a miracle in our midst for these young people.
     Pray also for our 15 & 1/2-year-old son --- for his schooling this Fall. 
 Pray for the absolute perfect will of God for Francesco so that he will grow 
spiritually, and tune in academically to his fullest advantage.  

ORPHANS FIRST TRIPS
     Pray for God's will concerning some upcoming trips I need to make for 
Orphans First.  Pray for God to open all the right doors for us to go to Burkina 
Faso at the end of this month to see my orphanage there, and for my husband 
to preach at a conference in our church there.  Pray especially for God to 
provide what is needed for our son to either come or for him to stay with someone 
here in a way that would be fun and good for him.
     Pray for upcoming potential trips to the following places where we work 
with children (and where my husband is the spiritual "grandfather" of the 
churches planted there):  Albania, Romania, Morocco.  Also pray for potential trip 
to India this Fall.  Pray for our Summer Harvest trips to Italy this summer 
-- that souls would be saved and a greater inroad be made into that country.

CHILDREN EVERYWHERE
     Keep praying for needy children everywhere, for more Christians to reach 
them, and for God to deliver them.

Thank you for your faithful prayers this summer, for the children's sake,
