- We are still waiting for some paperwork to process with the government that will allow us to open our facility. Pray that this will be done quickly (in His time).
- Pray that we will have wisdom in the meantime to help in other ways of ministering to orphans and widows.
- Pray for new doors that the Lord has been opening for us to minister to special needs kids in Niger.
- Pray for the young men that Dave is discipling.
- Pray for our children as they are also building relationships and shining their lights at school and in our neighborhood. All three boys are growing in their faith.
- Pray for safety as there are many areas of turmoil in the region.
Love you friend! praying for God’s voice to be made crystal clear in all things.

Dear Dave and Hope,
I am praying that God provides all you need to serve him, physically, financially, emotionally and spiritually.
Psalm 27:14 (ESV) Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
Isaiah 40:31 (ESV) but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
In his grace,
Evette
Praying for you guys today as well as Niger, Mali and the whole region that peace will prevail and that the Hope of Christ will be heard and revealed to all.
