One of the reasons I started this blog is because people would say, O you must just send us a quick email or sms with specific prayer requests! – and I always plan to do that, and yet the next thing I know a situation has already changed before I let anyone know of things going on. So without posting prayer requests continually, I hope this might be a way for people to become aware of the more mundane things that are important, but for various reasons perhaps don’t make it to the newsletter. Concerns that you can pray for right now:
§ Building plans – Dr Woodrow has decided to go ahead and start building some medical rooms on the property, so if all goes well construction will start in March, I think. Please pray that the Lord will guide us in all such plans, enable Dr Woodrow to get back into practical medical work, and ultimately extend this work to the completion of the hospital.
§ Car concerns – I simply can’t decide what to about a car. The Toyota I’m using guzzles petrol, quite often has problems (like right now) and is too frail to take on any of the rough roads. Mostly I can get by with chapas and rides from others, until a situation comes along where I really need a car! I need to therefore decide whether it would be best to continue with the situation as it is, explore the possibility of buying another car (probably not within my financial reach right now! J ), or maybe buy a little scooter.
§ Wisdom in Fiel work – I’m visiting churches, meeting pastors, and yet it’s going to take more than these quick encounters to truly build relationships with people. And yet some days I don’t know where the time is supposed to come from! I need to plan my days well.
