PRAYER: House of Cornelius- June 8, 2009

The month of May was expected to be slower, so many of the HoC staff took some time off to travel and rest. It is now the beginning of June and most of us have returned, with the exception of Andy and Kathy, who will be returning this week. This morning, we sent off a smaller team that have been here since Wednesday. This team had a unique focus and purpose that differs from other teams. They specificly came to pray with and hear the hearts of the ministries we partner with in Juarez. God is doing something fresh and new in Juarez and in IFM and we are anticipating His direction.

We have two interns (Christina Sheridan, Mary Van Vleet) and one adult staff (Beth McCoy) that are helping us for the summer. Christina and Mary have arrived and are settling in, while Beth is schedueld to arrive in the next two weeks. This has been an answer to prayer and we anticipate the continued growth of the internship program.

Please be praying with us about the following:
-The team that is heading back home
-The preparation for the teams coming in the next months, both in their hearts and here
-Meeting regarding our land this week and taxes that are owed
-The violence in Juarez to, once again, decrease
-Hap and Sharon Foster, who are adopting a 16-year old girl from Mexico, are staying with us while they hope to finish the process. Please pray that it goes quickly and smoothly.
-Georgia is still awaiting passport cards for some of her children
-Andy and Kathy Wolcott have their grandkids and will be traveling back to HoC Thursday. Please pray for a smooth travel day and their safe return.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers!
