    Please pray.

    Hey everybody! I just want you to know that we made it to India. We were delayed taking off from PHL with a big storm looming to the north. That led to us missing our flight in Doha. So we spent another night in the Doha airport (remember on our way back from Kenya this happened too, except this time we didn't get a room). Anyway, we are here now after being rerouted through the Maldives (gorgeous place...wish we could have stayed the night there!) We got a good nights sleep and are taking in our surroundings. I will not be posting about our trip on Facebook because of persecution of Christians in India. I don't want to make any trouble for our friends here. Rather, I will be posting updates here whenever we have internet available. Keep us in your prayers, that we would stay safe and healthy and that we would be a blessing to the folks here.

    1. I had WIFI problems while we were in Ocean City NJ, trying to download the livestream, getting on Proclaim where "Save and Sync" took forever to complete. Ended up doing 95% when we got home yesterday afternoon. Your in our prayers and thoughts regularly

    2. Excellent and detailed article. I agree that it is very difficult to get to the destination. But there are certain ways to make the process easier. For example, I use a business class travel agency https://businessclassconsolidator.com/ to fly overseas to meet investors. This allows me to be mobile, move comfortably and not waste time booking tickets. In addition, discounts for regular customers are a great bonus.

    Please pray.

    Bruce Cowen who attended our church a number of years ago called the church to ask for help and prayer for his sister Patty who lives on Walnut. Their brother who was living with her recently passed and she is unable to afford the rent. The building was also recently sold and the new landlord is more than doubling the rent. She works in Royersford and wants to live near her work. Pray for affordable housing. If someone from the church feels called to take this opportunity to reach out to her, I have a phone number.

    1. Please pray.

      We are getting ready to board our plane. We'll be home in about 24 hours. It's been a good trip. Met lots of new friends spent one on one time with a few of them. We also visited Pastor Patrick Thou in Nakuru on our way to the airport. This suddenly feels like such a short visit but we look forward to coming home to our own flock and sharing our experiences. See you soon!

      1. We missed our connection in Quatar. Looks like we have a 24 hour mandatory sabbath. Pray that all goes well.

      2. I heard from Vicki and pray for a room in which to get some much need shuteye. We are praying for an uneventful remainder of the trip.

    2. Please pray.

      Good morning! I know it's just before midnight there but we are getting ready for church here. We have had a really good conference so far. We are seeing so many people open up and begin smiling more, letting God transform their hearts and minds. I had a brief bit with a stomach bug. But that seems better now. We are changing our hotel room for the second time as the element in the shower burned out again. The manager said it is the work of the devil. Perhaps, but we are focused on the good things that God is doing. Blessings to you as you meet today for worship!

      1. Praise God!!! Hallelujah!!! God be Glorified!!!

      2. email has been sent and Karie's image added to presentation for today. PRAISE THE LORD

    3. Please pray.

      It is morning in Kilgoris. Yesterday was challenging, A speaker from out of town arrived late and talked long for his sessions, so everything was rushed all day long. I did the evening session and , by God's grace, it still seemed to go well. We have had a problem with the electricity in our room and getting stray voltage, so we are being moved to a different room today. These challenges are minor in comparison to what God is doing. We are persevering! Thank you for your prayers!

      1. Lord we know that when there are challenges like these it is because we are doing just what you want us to be doing, and the enemy does not like it. May you Lord be Glorified it all that is happening and said. May everyone there see Jesus in Joel and Karie. Continue to watch over and protect them.

      2. We continue to pray for saved lives and a bountiful harvest brought about thru "Rebuilding The House". A safe journey home is also included in our prayers.

    4. Please pray.

      Bob Bean would like prayer for his shoulder and arm which were injured at work so he is unable to work right now.
