2007 April Prayer Guides
Mexico before God ...
Praise
Spring is in town, adorning with colorful bugambilia. It brings in a lot of citalinos as they plan for Easter vacations escape.
Abe’s Chiapas trip was a fruitful visit as you find its update below.
The S & E left to N.Africa and are in cultural training. The trip took them longer (2 more days) than expected but safely arrived to their destiny. Praise God who will lift them up for His glory.
Early March, our children enjoyed Spring Mini Olympic Games at their school. It revived our childhood at schools in Korea. Much memory came back to life. It was also an opportunity to get to know other parents and their spiritual needs.
