February Praise and Prayer Requests

We Praise God for...

1. Christine's car. We trust it will provide safe and reliable transportation for quite some time.
2. Christine's academic progress. Christine made the Dean's List this last semester (see previous post). Her is feeling less stress as, although her courses are equally demanding, her load is a little lighter this semester.
3. Laura's wedding plans. Laura's wedding plans are coming along slowly but surely.
4. Anne's job. Anne works at Harris Teeter, a local grocery store chain. She is doing well in her job, she enjoys her work, and the feedback she has received indicates that they are very pleased with her work, her work ethic, and her people skills.
5. Ken's recent trip to Jamaica and Brazil. A server was set up in the Wycliffe Caribbean office. The office infrastructure is now in place for John Roomes and his staff to recruit, process, and send out new Bible translators into the world. The classroom computers were also set at ALEM, a Brazilian missionary training institute. The students and staff are very excited and anxious about the next phase of the project. Read the previous postings for more on their reaction.
6. YOU! We are still overwhelmed and humbled at the continuous and sacrificial prayer & financial support we've received over our 21 years of ministry. You are truly an encouragement to us.

Please pray for...

1. Godly lives. Please pray that we, as a family, would walk by faith and not by sight.
2. Laura's continued wedding preparations. Although Laura and Stuart are planning on having a simple wedding, it seems as though most waking moments for both Laura and Anne involve some sort of planning for it. (We men never realize how much goes into these things!)
3. Anne's work schedule. Anne enjoys stability. Harris Teeter moves personnel to locations of greatest need. Anne was just transferred again back to the store she initially started in. Although she is anxious to work again with the colleagues she initially came to know and love, the transition can be somewhat stressful.
5. Ken's role at JAARS. He is working on a large HelpDesk computer support project. Pray that he and the rest of the team could locate the best possible software and hardware solution to this ever increasing need. Information technology touches every part of the organization so the need continues to grow while the amount of people entering the organization continues to shrink. We're hoping the HelpDesk will remove the boundaries and barriers to effective technical support.

While we in the United States have multiple versions of the Bible, thousands of language groups around the world are still without God's Word in the native tongue, the language that speaks to the heart. Thank you dearly for your role in helping eliminate that disparity. We love you and thank God for you.

Ken, Anne, Laura, and Christine Haugh
