Prayer Requests from Rhoda Jore

Rhoda's parents are currently here for a month, & we are having a wonderful time with them. We've decided to keep them here. :) They were sick for several days their 1st week here, but are almost fully recovered now. They've been busy helping us w/ planting more in our garden & entertaining our wild boys. You can see pictures of their time here thus far on our blog jorenews.blogspot.com

We'd appreciate prayer for my Dad, Nate & Pastor Ludigo as they head out tonight for Burundi. It will take about 16 hours by bus, and they are looking forward to the beautiful scenery through Rwanda & on into Burundi. They will be joining Emmanuel, who studied at AFLTS this past year, in teaching & preaching for 4 days.

Please pray for:

• safe travel for them
• continued health for my Dad
• protection from the Enemy
• great fruit from their teaching/preaching

On August 18th, Saturday, my parents, Nate & I will be trekking out to a nearby village to meet with the pastors & their wives that we are working with here. In the morning we will have a joint session & worship time, and then in the afternoon the men & women will split up. Nate & my Dad will be speaking to the men about shepherding their families, and my Mom & I will be speaking to the women about the ministry we have as wives & mothers. Please pray for wisdom & humility as we share, for receptive & teachable hearts for those that will attend, & for God to be glorified.

We are enjoying cool temps (60's & 70's) now that we are in the rainy season. It's been quite refreshing especially for Dad & Mom as they came from humid weather soaring in the 90's in Minneapolis. Most of the vegetables & herbs that they helped us plant 6 days ago are already sprouting, thanks to all the rain. It is wonderful to enjoy the fresh produce that God has provided for us here.

We are grateful for your partnership & encouragement in this work.
Serving Him together with you,
Rhoda, Nate, Elijah & Judah
