Prayer Requests

Your prayers have made an amazing difference here. I post prayer requests on my blog and then I see the changes here and know you guys are praying!! Please pray for the following things:

• A worship leader to help with the praise team/music
• A male leader to help with the youth. The boys in the youth group need a positive role model to talk with.
• The Sunday School program at Troyeville Baptist Church. The teachers are tired and the classes are too large. The program needs lots of help! Pray for the teachers: Nomalonga, Shay, Rona, Renee, Simon and Dave.
• Thabo-- A young boy at the Day Care. His mother died of Aids. His step-father has allowed the head teacher at the Day Care (Nomalonga) to take him in. We are in the process of getting the paper work finalized so that she has legal rights to raise him. But because the only person to sign the papers is a step-father, there may be complications. We are also getting Thabo tested for HIV because of his mother's history. He is 7, but is only just now starting school. He has had a lot of changes in his life in the past year! He is an amazing child. He is sweet, polite, clever and outgoing....pray that God continue to protect him.
• Pray for the team that is flying to Johannesburg on Thursday. Pray that they have safe travel. Pray for the hearts of the people they will be working with in Kroonstad.
• Pray for Pastor Cheryl. Pray for physical health. Also pray that she have a renewed passion to serve Christ here in Troyeville. Sometimes it feels like you are spinning your wheels and getting no where. No matter how many needs you fill, there are so many more. Pray that she is blessed by the people here and that she see how God's glory is shining through in the programs and ministries of this church.
