February-March 2009

What an incredible praise we have to give God for this report from Christian and his family!! The prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective!! Please consider printing this page for your prayer time.

What satan meant for evil, God has turned for glorious good. The experience deepened Celine and Christian’s faith in ways that are hard to put into words. They are ready to take Jesus into Togo.

Celine is much healthier now as is the new baby. She and Christian have chosen to use injections to keep the endometriosis under control until she is fully ready for the surgery necessary to correct it.

As though that were not enough, the transition of leadership at the Nairobi Vapor Center is going smoothly and they are expecting a record 900 kids this year (up 300 from just one year ago!)

February 12 – 19th Micah and Christian will be going into Togo to prepare a home for Christian’s family. They will also be looking at hospitals to select one that can care for Celine’s needs. Projected time of the family going is sometime in March.

Please pray for the Lord to go before Christian and his family. (Exodus 23: 20, 27, 28; Ephesians 6).

Pray they will be deeply aware of God’s presence going with them and that His presence will be so apparent to those to whom they are bringing good news, that Togoville will embrace the gospel readily (Exodus 33:16).

Pray for God to give Micah and Christian safe passage as they journey to Togo and that they have great discernment and wisdom in all the decisions they make there.

Pray for God to expedite Christian’s Work Visa in a timely manner. This is critical as part of the difficulty previously experienced by Christian going into Togo was due to his Visa status as a refugee from Rwanda’s genocide. The upgrade to a work Visa would eliminate this difficulty.
