Dear Prayer Partners,

     Thanks for your continued prayers for the needy children.  

      It has been a long trip and we're still stateside.  We've stayed in 8 
different places living out of suitcases while working on some key issues 
(including bringing our son to High School here). Things to pray for include:
     Pray for some upcoming meetings in Washington which could help with 
future adoptions, and the overall expansion of Orphans First enabling us to reach 
more children worldwide.  (These meetings were scheduled this week but got 
cancelled due to Hurricane Isabel's dirty working, causing us to be in a state of 
emergency with no electricity for a while).   
     Pray for our son to settle into his new High School in Tennessee and to 
really do well (God opened a door for him to be there at this time, and we 
really see God's goodness in placing him there.  Pray for the family he's with 
too),
     Pray for fruit to result from the different Mission's Conferences we've 
been involved with, and that I can work fast on the following products needed 
for some upcoming Missions Conferences:
             UPDATING THE ORPHANS FIRST VIDEO
             CREATING A CHRISTMAS PROJECT FLYER
     Both these items are needed to generate funds for the Christmas Project.
     Pray for the Christmas Project, that we could reach more children this 
Christmastime than ever before.
     Pray for God to open a way to totally restructure Orphans First (we may 
need to have a paid staff rather than volunteers.  Even I am unpaid).        
Pray also for the creation of a new logo, new brochures etc.
     Pray for God to open wide the doors that will allow us to make a greater 
difference in the lives of many more suffering children over the world.  Pray 
for guidance as we need some answers (& miracles) this very week.  And 
remember the many miracles God has done thus far to get children off the streets 
into homes, or into adopted families.
     Continue praying for ALL our orphanages, and street children's 
ministries.  Pray specifically we could have permanent homes for our street kids in 
Albania, in Tartastan, in India and all the countries where we minister to street 
children.
     Pray for another treasurer for Orphans First in Europe.  
     
     May God never cease to remind us that there are still thousands of 
street children, abandoned children, slave children, prison children and suffering 
children of every kind in the world.  May He help us reach them all one by 
one.
