We would like to ask you to intercede specifically for a few situations. It is such a comfort to know that many of you care, and pray.

A family from our sponsoring Church in TX is visiting with us now. Please pray for their time here. We will be traveling to the border on Monday and plan to return on Wednesday. It worked out perfectly to have this trip at this time.

One of the pastors for whom we have been holding Burmese Bibles has things sorted out to get them from us. Some circumstances have hindered this being done until now. We plan to make this shipment during the trip. Please pray for this shipment as well as all our travels.

This shipment marks the end of the Bibles we have on hand. Even this week we had to turn away a couple of requests for Bibles. The need remains as real as the day we completed the re-typesetting in 2010.

In an earlier e-mail update, we asked your prayer concerning the finances for hospitalization of one of our coworkers. As of today approximately 1/3 of it has come in. We are rejoicing for God’s provision. Please continue to intercede for the remainder, approximately $2,000.

Also please pray for a unique situation in the family of one of our coworkers. Their elderly mother has been denied a visa to remain in Thailand and must return to her home country. Her homeland is a conflict area and not at all safe, which is why she was in Thailand to start with. Not thinking this would be a problem, there is no provision either for her returning or even the cost of travel. Please pray about this matter.

The translation and publishing work we are doing requires people. We have learned if you have people working with you, they must be cared for. Most of them are not from Thailand and have only limited family and resources of any kind to sustain them here.

Three years ago I had nerve damage to my arm when I tripped and fell through a glass door. I had a surgery then to repair that damage, but have continued to have increased pain. In fact, this e-mail has taken me more than one hour to type. It may be necessary for me to have another surgery. Please pray.

Thank you so much for reading this long e-mail. Please intercede.
