Dear Prayer Friends,

     "This way I can get to Heaven faster!" was the sad reply of one of our 
precious street children in Albania, a handicapped girl called Lushka, when she 
was asked why she was getting so thin.  Already undernourished, Lushka has 
recently stopped eating in hopes of finally meeting the Master. Pray for her, 
and the many other street children.

     Thank you for praying for the hurting little ones as we continue to 
reach them.  The Christmas flyer seems to be coming together and will be already 
out at a Missions Conference in Knoxville, Tennessee this weekend, together 
with an updated video.  Please pray as we seek to reach children for our 
CHRISTMAS PROJECT again this year.  

     Our friends in Moscow are planning to participate on a greater scale 
this Christmas, bringing orphans to their church to see the play, giving them 
gifts, taking them around Moscow on buses and to McDonalds.  Can you imagine 
their joy at such a day?!!!  A day never to forget!  Please pray funds would come 
in to make this dream come true.  We also plan to bring Christmas gifts to 
poor children in the following countries:
     Africa (several countries)
     India (our orphanages)
     Albania - street children
     Mexico - poor children, and prisons
     Russia - state orphanage children, and street children (several cities)
     Siberia '' ' ' '
     Azerbajan " " " " "
     Kazan - street children
     Romania - private orphanage and poor children
     Poland - our orphans
     Ukraine - state orphanage children and street children
     France - underprivileged children
     USA - underprivileged children

     Please pray for these dreams to come true.

ADOPTIONS
     Perhaps you remember the miracle of Artur's adoption.  Then Andrei & 
Lida's.  Well, now several other of Artur's Russian friends are in the process of 
being adopting and will become Artur's neighbors.  Please pray for this to 
happen smoothly.  Concerning the 28 Moldavan children that came over, a problem 
arose in details concerning their adoptable status at this point.  Please pray 
that these hindrances would be removed and that these children could also be 
adopted.

USA TRIP
     Tomorrow I meet with someone who deals with many adoptions in 
Washington.  Please pray for this and other connections we are making during this time.  
And pray we can return to France within days (we travel standby and there are 
presently no places).
       Thanks also for continually praying for our son as he adapts to his 
new high school and situation.  

ORPHANAGES & STREET CHILDREN
     Continue praying for our street children's works in various countries.  
Eda is doing a great work in Albania, touching so many needy little, broken 
lives daily. (Story of Lushka above). Nastya is doing a super job in Kazan.  
Pray for them.    Pray for our orphans in Poland, and our orphanages in India, 
and Africa.  Pray for the work done in state orphanages in Russia, S. America, 
Romania etc.  Please continue praying for the children --- that we could reach 
many more!

GROWTH, ADMINISTRATION & ORPHANS FIRST WORLDWIDE
     Please continue praying for the many details that need to come together 
within the next year in order for this ministry to accomodate its growth and 
continue reaching so many needy children.  We need a new treasurer for Orphans 
First Europe, and we need many administrative details to come together state
side also.  
     God can do MIRACLES.  Pray for the miracles needed to save children, to 
see them in Christian homes and to expand Orphans First to the glory of God.
