8/29/09

We would like prayer for Our family as we have been having financial struggles off and on, again and again over the years, including this year. Our dad works at a VERY low paying job right now and the men he works with speak filthy language and berate him all day long for his faith. Yet Our dad has had the opportunity to talk to most of them about their faith and everyone on the job, including the owner, knows he is a Christian. Each day is a struggle for him to stand for his faith so please pray for him that he would be a strong testimony of Christ in the workplace and that the men will come to know Christ and have a changed life. One of the men has a sister who became a Christian a few years ago and comes to our church. We have been able to minister to her and befriend her some...and their mom lives just down the block so God may want us to help this family, so please pray for that as well! We really would like for him to have a new and better job (preferably a home business of some kind), but until then, He seems to want us to help this family and be a witness and testimony at this job of my dad's. Also pray for us as a family in encouraging dad and dealing with the lack of finances, as this sometimes puts a strain on our family. We are learning so much from this time in our lives, and we know that God has a plan for us and is watching out for us! :) Thank you for your prayers!
