We are thankful that in the past week Lorne was able to sign a lease on the apartment where Albert and Elaine will live.  He was also able to sign an extension on the lease where we are living.  We are thankful that those important details are in place.

Please pray for Albert and Elaine as they are making their final preparations for moving to Taiwan.  They plan to arrive on August 3.

Please pray for us as we work with Albert and Elaine to hire a suitable care-giver for their children.  The care-giver is needed for about two years while Albert and Elaine are attending language school.  We are thankful that we have been introduced to some individuals who are interested in the position.  Please pray that we will know what questions to ask of the candidates and that we will know God’s leading in this matter.

Thank-you for praying for us and for the short-term workers coming as we all work to pull the final details together for the August 12-16 Junior High Youth Camp.  Please pray for more students to register in the coming weeks.

We are thankful for those who will be involved in the August 16 Happy Family Rally.  Please pray for the work to be done in publicizing this event and that we will be able to have good community involvement that evening.  Pray for Lorne as he is responsible for many details for that evening.  Pray that he will be able to balance his time between this event and his leadership in the youth camp.

Please pray that Christian believers who visit Baozhong over the summer months would be the “fragrance of Christ” to those that they meet.  Please pray that God will use their testimony to expand His kingdom.
