Well, tonight I don't have the time or the energy to be writing a ton, so I just planned on giving you all a list of people that you could pray for! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue to be in prayer!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!! No matter what you might think, your prayers ARE working!
Before I write my list, I'd like to give you a quick short example of how your prayers are making a difference in the ministry being done in Boubon:
Boubon is a BIG town. It seems like we discover a new compound every other day! One precious little neighbor girl--Fadida--has decided it is now her job to be our "guide" around the town and take us to new places. We don't know where she got this idea--she just took us by the hand one day and we followed her! The amazing thing about this is that EVERY place she has taken us to has opened up new opportunities for us. I call her our little angel because it seems she has been sent by God to lead us to the places where we are needed! It's been awesome to experience and I KNOW that you all are praying for us to be led to the right people and for doors to be opened--rest assured your prayers are being answered!! :)
Ok, time for my list, then I'm hittin' the sack!
Please pray for:
1. Our "family"--the Chief, his wife, and their four children.
2. Fadida (our little angel!)
3. Busara (one of the kids in our compound)
4. Leilah (neighbor kid) and her mom (neighbor)
5. Bilaley (neighbor kid)
6. Samsia (neighbor kid)
7. The believer in Boubon and his family (who remain unbelievers).
8. Hawa, Hamsa, and Baby Mariama.
9. "Granny"
10. Hama (the Chief's brother)
11. Rukaya (a teen girl we've gotten really close to!) and her family
12. Baby Boubakar (a very sick baby who doesn't look like he has much time to live! Please pray for his health to be restored so that he can grow up and hear about Jesus!)
13. Nafisa (neighbor kid)
14. Nafisa (a girl about our age who is trying to learn English) and the other women in her compound.
15. The compound next to the Foxes' house...they're new neighbors!
16. Ishmael (someone who claims to be interested in Jesus, but is more like rocky soil than fertile soil...)
And that's all I can think of off the top of my head. (I had written a list earlier in the week, but I cannot find it, for the life of me!) But this is a good start--plenty of people who need prayer! Also, PLEASE continue to pray for the Phillips, the Saleebys, and myself and Emily. There is also a team of fourteen high schoolers here this week to work in Tagiboty, so be in prayer for them as well! :)
