Please pray for my brother and his wife. They are having a rough time in their marriage. Please pray for them to have guidance, open hearts, and open minds to deal with the struggles of their marriage. 

Please pray for my husband. He is trying to quit drinking and is struggling. Please pray for him to have the will and strength to overcome the urge to drink.

Please pray for our upcoming trip for safety, good health and a wonderful time together.

I need prayers for trusting God more with the plan He has for my life. I am a teacher and have only known this job for the past 7 years.  I have given it everything.  I am pregnant and am scared that I will not be able to balance both.  I want to give my baby my everything!  Just asking for prayer to be more faithful in my trusting for His plans.

Please pray for healing of my neck and back; and prayer for peace if that does not happen.

Please pray for our missionaries to Romania, Chris and Faith Anderson who sent the following updates and requests:

• Please pray for Manu who was in the picture I posted for last week. He gave his life to follow Jesus two Sundays ago!! When we get back from the states, Chris will meet with him and a couple of the other older guys for discipleship. 

• We had a great time seeing Natalie and the kids she brought with her, and meeting Shelly and Chad. Chloe was so blessed to be able to spend the week with Sage before leaving for university. 

• We will be flying Thursday July 27th and will arrive in Charlotte, NC around 5:30pm. Our first flight will start Wednesday night Boise time. Please be praying for our travels. After arriving in NC we will have a 2-2 and a half hour drive to where we are staying in SC.

• Pray for us as we take this sabbatical that we may be able to truly rest, have deep time with our Lord, we will be praying through many things while there, enjoying time with Chloe before taking her to school, and hopefully letting God heal things in our family that need healing. 

• We are trying to fly Chloe’s horse Fire to America with her. If God allows this will happen after the rest of us get back to Romania. My sister started a gofundme account for Chloe, this way Fire gets to learn alongside of Chloe and the monthly payment to board him at the school with her is the same we pay to board him here in Romania only he will be with Chloe. The monthly payment is not the problem the expense to actually fly him is. We have not received very good feedback or responses from people, but the bond God has given Chloe and Fire is incredible and she plans on using this horse to share the good news of our Lord and Savior as well as make children and families smile. We will try until God opens or closes that door, so we appreciate your prayers for wisdom and or finances for this.
