URGENT O.F. Prayer Request Jan. 26th, 2002

Dear Praying Family,

        My husband, Louis, is still in Africa where he is ministering to
pastors and missionaries he raised up in our Theological Institute in
France.  He is presently in Ivory Coast, and is sick with "the fever" (that
could be anything).  Please pray for him.  

AFRICA still.....
        Pray also for Michel Ramillon, in Burkino Faso (AFRICA), where we
also plan to begin another orphanage. Pray for health, and a major
breakthrough for some new work with suffering children in several African
countries, and for Louis' complete healing.

ADOPTION
        Continue praying for the adoption of Andrei.  He is not in the same
orphanage as his young sister Lida,  and certain circumstances too
complicated to explain here may hinder her adoption at this time.  Pray for
the adoptive parents, for all doors to open in God's will.  Pray also for
Sacha to be adopted, and for D***, and all other older orphans, and also
younger ones.

ST.PETE, RUSSIA
        Pray for perfect timing for the adoptive parents above to visit
St.Pete, and for God's will concerning my visit there also.  The Christmas
Pageant and gift-giving to thousands of children went well.  I do not yet
have details but the report will come in time, once the poor, exhausted
team finds time to take care of that.  Meanwhile, coninue knocking on
Heaven's door for a permanent orphanage, and street children's work there,
and elsewhere in Russia.

TRAGEDY
        Pray for 4 Haitian orphans whose mother and cousin were murdered a
few weeks ago, and their father was murdered a year before. Pray for their
young cousin whose brother was murdered, and who also lost his Dad a while
back. These children have much fear, many questions.  For discretion's
sake, I cannot share all the details, but I was able to share biblical
answers to questions haunting these children and saw much release on their
faces as they heard God's soothing voice through His Word. However, they
need much prayer.  Pray especially for 14 year old M**** who is carrying
the burden of this tragedy and having the worry of her younger siblings.  

URGENT TECHNOLOGICAL & OTHER DETAILS
        Pray for a solution to recuperate and transfer all the addresses
from my previous E mail system (over 1000 addresses lost).  It's a long
story but it involves computer problems, a change of computer and loss of
data (in spite of many hours given by computer geek friends trying to solve
the problem). Pray for a miracle and redemption of this hindering
situation. Obviously this is holding up Orphans First work and therefore
affecting the lives of children.  
        Pray also for a solution to the secretarial details in Baltimore
where O.F. is "housed" (I live in France of course).  The previous
volunteer workers have been hindered from helping because of health and
other things. Pray for God to raise up somebody or provide a resource to
pay someone.

OTHER O.F. projects
        Continue praying for our orphanages in INDIA.  Pray God would show
us when to visit (my heart aches deeply for our children there, and also to
be able to begin more orphanages in India).  
        Pray for bus ministry in FRANCE, for our orphans in the UKRAINE,
for our upcoming Christmas project to distribute some 500 gifts to orphans
in ALBANIA and for suffering children everywhere.  

DON'T FORGET.........to pray for Louis' healing, and for my children and
myself back here in France.  Warfare is real, and if it weren't for God's
Word, and your prayers, I don't know how we could have stayed here these
past 20 years.

Love in Christ for each of you,

Janey
