Prayer updates from our rainforst adventure

Dear Friend,

As the day comes to an end, we are sitting here thinking of Psalms 150:6 that says " Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord". Are you breathing? Will you join us as we praise our Heavenly King? Ready? 1,2,3...PRAISE THE LORD! Ahhh, that's better! Do you need to do it again? It is a stress reliever.

A illustration written in the Springs in the Valley devotional says - There is a legend of a man who found the barn where Satan kept his seeds ready to be sown in the human heart, and on finding the seeds of discouragement more numerous than others, learned that those seeds could be made to grow almost anywhere. When Satan was questioned he reluctantly admitted that there was one place in which he could never get them to thrive. "And where is that?" asked the man. Satan replied sadly, "In the heart of a grateful man."

Is it midnight in your life? Dark and still? It is time to pray and sing with grateful hearts. When Paul and Silas sang songs of praise and prayed prayers of gratefulness, they saw prison chains broken and doors opened.What encouragement!

We praise God for His wonderful, working power. We have much to praise the Lord about.

 #1 - God touched Pr.Marcos' leg. He did not have to have a second surgery to secure the bone with a platinum plate. He is at home recovering and still has all the external hardware of rods and screws protruding from his leg which will have to be removed at a later date.

#2 - God moved in our midst during our Conference visit. The Saturday pastor and leadership sessions on Holiness were directed of God. You could feel the presence of God moving and could see the look on hunger on the faces as our Conference officials shared the joys of a Holy life. One of the 1st questions that was handed in for the Q&A session was from a 18yr. pastor's son. It said, "I want to be baptized in the Spirit. How can I do this?" Praise God!

#3- All of our documents that needed to be sent from the U.S to renew our visas arrived on time and were accepted by the federal police. We have to return in 40days to receive our card.

#4 - Friday marks our 1yr. anniversary here. We can't begin to express how wonderful and faithful our God has been to us these past 12 months

 Some areas that we would appreciate your continued prayer,

 #1 - that God will continue to speak to hearts and reveal his Holiness
#2 - at 3:30am tomorrow we are making our 1st trip interior to St. Joseph's on the Arari River. This is a +/- 4hr trip by truck and +/- 4 hr trip by boat. We need God's protection and His help as we minister there.
#3- we have some serious unspoken requests. 3 to be exact. Will you please help us pray for these unspoken request?

 We covet your prayers.We know that the fervent and effectual prayers of a righteous man availeth much. We are in such a need of God's moving and we need help praying for His direction and glory. Thank you for being faithful to hold us up before the Throne of God!

With grateful hearts,
Stephen and Kezia

No, we didn't work them (Br.Case - Br. Howard, Stephen and Br. Newman) too hard. They had time to sit under the palm trees and sip coconut milk. ;)
