Cape Town - June 2012

Prayer Requests:
1. The seminary students are getting ready to take final exams.  They need endurance to finish the race well.
2. There will be a vacation Bible school combined by three local churches the last week of June.  Please pray for the children who attend as well as the teenage workers and their youth ministers.
3. The English classes: one Burundian family is so desperate they want us to adopt their 2 year old daughter.  The team is helping the family with food, clothes and trying to find jobs for them.  These are not the only ones who need jobs.  80% of the refugees are jobless.
4. Gail's mother was dragged at a running speed down the road by a harnessed frightened alpaca.  She has a fractured shoulder and had an MRI done on her rotator cup yesterday.  Results on the MRI are pending.  Please pray for healing.  The doctor said that durgery to repair a rotator cup on a woman her age, 71, would take 6-12 months to recover from.
 
Praise:
1. Word is getting out in the community and more people want to go to an English class.  Muslims have asked to be included in the next new class.  The book of Mark in the Bible is used to teach the classes so it says a lot that Muslims are willing to learn English using the Bible.
2. The seminary mission week showed the students ministered to churches and schools.  They worked to set up Bible studies and to reach out to addicts and children and their families.
3. James and the mission team all returned safely from the Amazon River.  Over 900 people were seen during the week and over 1300 prescriptions were written.  OVer 300 children came to the children's program.


Thank you for praying!
