Prayer for my brother Benjamin who is suffering from bronchitis. Pray for my sister and her husband who are infertile.  Prayers that they would be able to have a baby.

Thank God my family is feeling better. Please continue to pray for our family to continue to serve God in and out of our church.

Please pray for our mother, her health, her memory and strength where she is today. Pray for our future in taking care of her.  We thank God for our sister who tries her best to care for our mom.  We appreciate our family helping.

My wife Maddy and I moved to Boise in October and have struggled to find a home church. Pray for God to show us our new home!

Please pray for our missionaries to Germany, Clark and Ann Peddicord who sent the following updates and prayer requests:

• Our friend, Dr. Kristin Shi-Kupfer, who is a board member of “Philosophia Europa” and Professor of Chinese Studies at Trier University in Germany is currently doing fellowship work at University of San Diego. Last week, she came to Boise to visit us.  While she was here, we visited the Lunn Family farm in Hammet and we also met with teachers from 3 different faculties at Boise State University:  Political Science, History, and the Honors College.Would you please pray that these relationships will continue to deepen and grow and become part of the links in the “International Bridge” which connect the U.S.A. to Haus Nazareth, the vision of “Philosophia” and key people in Berlin institutions?

• As you know, this is a time of transition for us.

   

• We have been blessed and a little bit surprised by how productive it’s been. Our transition to Haus Nazareth “grandparents” is progressing steadily.  We call and text regularly with the new Haus parents. They are connecting with the students and seem to be settling in well.  We’re looking forward to being in Berlin for a couple of months to give hands-on help.

• We are moving forward in trying to make the teaching that he’s developed more accessible, helpful, and effective for the next generation.

  Because of this goal, Clark is teaching another round of the Gospel of John at the “Biblical Studies Center” in Boise. This is the third iteration of this material. 

  Then comes the hard work concerning the best way to pass it on!!!

  Our older daughter, Seanne, who lives in Los Angeles and is in film-making, “binge-watched” 8 chapters of the videos from the previous teaching on a weekend and said to Clark:

  “Dad, this is fantastic!” (Magical words to a father’s heart!
