Prayer Update
Dear Friends,
You may have noticed that our prayer updates have been coming in the “list” format! Forgive our brevity but we want to remain connected to you and enabled by prayer.
1. Pray for safe and successful month of travel with baby Thomas!
2. Praise for the first successful week traveling with afore-mentioned newborn! He did great in a place in northern Kenya called Lokichoggio that is very hot. We had a wonderful Spiritual Life Seminar which did wonders to refresh the dryness in our souls. We studied Daniel, a cross-cultural missionary who refused to be corrupted by the culture, kept to his spiritual disciplines, and became a hero of the faith. Thomas was held, played with, and cuddled by many of our colleagues which he seemed to enjoy greatly.
3. Next week we’re in Addis Ababa for the SIM Regional Management Seminar. Chris is honored to be invited to this intense week of training. Pray that he and Bev would learn to navigate the SIM financial and organizational structures.
4. The week after that we go to Limuru, Kenya to the Baptist Brackenhurst Conference Center for Beverly’s Nursing CEU. That’s March 11 to 17. Chris will be playing Mr. Mom while Bev attends her classes.
5. THEN, on Mar 20th and 21st we move the family to Yabus, Blue Nile State, Sudan to establish a Christian secondary boarding school. A wonderful Cessna Caravan will carry us and our stuff to Yabus.
6. Please pray for our vehicles to be delivered in good time. The Landcruiser pickup is lagging behind, not arriving in Kenya until March 8th! Please pray for a speedy trip through Mombasa customs and fitting with accessories. Then it will be ferried by land, then air to South Sudan where we will be waiting for it.
7. Also, please pray for our Yamaha ATV to be ready to fly in on the Caravan with us. Would be great for moving our stuff to the base.
8. Lastly, please pray for our bridge project. We were hoping to construct a steel cable bridge across the river to connect us with the village. However, the engineering phase is a bit slow also. Pray also for the finances to come in and for the bridge to be blessing to the community.
9. Lastly, please pray that we would continue to be connected daily with Jesus the author and perfecter of our souls, so that streams of living water would flow out of us. We want to be a blessing to everyone we meet.
Thanks for your prayers,
Chris and Beverly Crowder and baby Thomas
SIM Sudan
