5/19/11

Dear Family & Friends,

Romans 12:10-18
10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Thank you for your continued faithfulness in praying for Bonnie. God hears and God answers your prayers on her behalf!

Prayer Update From Bonnie:

Continue to pray for Swazi, who is now my official house mate. I am very blessed to have her here! We started doing morning devotions together, please pray that these will be a fruitful times and that God will continue to meet us and speak to us during these times.
Please pray that I will be a wise steward of my time. There are so many different things that can “demand” my attention. I want to be led by the Spirit and spend my time in a way that glorifies God.
Please continue to pray for my pupils, that they would not only learn the lessons I teach but also come to know and love the Savior.
Please be praying for the times in which I am offering extra lessons. I am having 10-12 pupils stay after school for an hour on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for these extra lessons.
I am still waiting for the discipleship groups to be set up. Pray for God’s anointing to be upon each of the leaders of these groups and that there would be much fruit. I am thinking I will have 4-6 college age girls in my group.
We are also in the process of setting up caregroups. We will be assigned according to where we live. They are in the process of choosing the leaders and making sure they are properly trained. We should be starting meeting by the middle of next month. One of the caregroups will be meeting at my flat (aka apartment). Please be praying for this entire process.

I just want to thank each of you for your faithful prayers. The Lord is at work in the hearts of His people, both here in Zambia and where you are. He hears your prayers and He is answering them!
