Excerpt from a recent update.

Jacqueline and I have some prayer requests from South Asia. We appreciate your prayers because we all serve a Father who listens and draws near to each of us when we draw near to Him.
1. Last Friday, South Asia experienced a large earthquake. Our apartment block experienced some damage, but we were not harmed. God really does watch over our coming and going each day here and we praise God that many families were left unharmed. Please pray for South Asia as the Everest Fault Line is moving. That we all remain safe and that our Father's mercy will be present at this time. The experience is still very raw and scary.
2. Mr K is our farm Accountant, and many of you prayed for his wife during the birth of their second daughter. Mr K, during this time, experienced a real closeness to his Creator. As we now share with Mr K about the power of prayer and the promises of the Father, please uphold him, as his trust in the Father grows stronger. This is really important.
3. Our Farm manager's wife is experiencing some medical challenges. She must travel to the Capitol this week. She is apprehensive and unsure. Please pray that the Prince of Peace be present with them as they visit doctors seeking the best treatment. Fear is a problem for many people regarding illnesses in South Asia. Pray that a spirit of love and patience is near to them that shame and doubt melt away.
4. Many of our farmer group members are now harvesting their Ammon Rice. We say thank you, our Father, for this rice. It has given much-needed income and food. Please pray that as we share with farmers about the goodness of the Son, they will see firsthand that He cares for them each season, each year. He will not let them go.
5. Please remember our two older daughters. Both have submitted visa applications to visit. Please pray for the visas to be issued and for the passports to be returned promptly. Our eldest daughter, Isabelle, is coming for three months. She is a short-term volunteer with our sending org. She is raising her support by faith right now. Please pray that she will have all the resources by the time she leaves in a few weeks.
6. Please remember to uphold our boys as they both will be spending Christmas separately, and without sisters and Mum and Dad. Both boys have work commitments, which have made it impossible for them to be together. We are thankful to Jac’s family for hosting Sammy.
Thank you for your support, prayer and upholding us. We are all a team, in it together.
