Dear Prayer Partners,

    Street children are everywhere---even in France.  A friend of mine in 
Marseille recently saw a young girl, about seven-years-old, squatting in the 
middle of the busy streets in the hot sun.  She stayed there for hours, deydrating 
while begging.  My friend, Odile, watched and then brought her food and drink 
and gave her money.  No-body else took any notice.  Then Odile went to the 
police to find out what could be done to help.  The police said: "Madam, there 
are thousands of kids like this in Marseille.  What do you expect us to do?  We 
can do nothing."  Odile pleaded they help but they threatened to put her in 
prison.  The little girl is probably from Romania.  Her name is Angelica.

     Please pray for Angelica and the numerous street children in Marseille 
and other parts of France, and indeed in the entire world.  Pray that we can 
begin a work helping the children of Marseille.

     Please continue praying also for troubled youth.  So many of the kids 
we've invested in here in France are now living in drugs and other traps.  Pray 
for a mighty revival among the youth, for a youth pastor, and for the 
schooling situation of many of the young people and children.  Pray for our Christian 
Day School as we look toward the new semester.  Pray for our son, Francesco, 
and his future schooling situation.  

Confidential
     You have prayed over the years for strongholds to tumble so that the 
work of God could flourish and so that Orphans First could expand.  There are 
still hurdles and strongholds making progress difficult in certain areas 
(although God is reaching more and more children by His grace).  Please pray against 
the amazing warfare and opposition on our lives as we seek to go forward. 

Blessings in Christ,
