the village of Adoor, to help with the setting up of a water distribution
system that should help prevent the common water-borne diseases and things
like cholera and dysentery. We lost one little sick boy to cholera a month
ago, and his little sister Elizabeth cries for him still.
December 2 - Pray for the team that may go with Dean, such as Dr. Katie
Buck, our medical consultant, who went with him last month to Ethiopia and
did such a great work caring for the sick and down-and-out children.
December 3 - Pray for the safety of those who are in harm's way for the
sake of the gospel and that they might be delivered from wicked and evil
men.
December 4 - Pray for the possible Christmas present you might give to the
494 orphans in Adoor, Sudan. They are praying that more food might come to
them and medical help, as many of them suffer from worms.
December 5 (Friday) - Pray for our Board of Directors meeting. We have a
great group of people to guide and support us!
December 6 - Pray that those who have Frequent Flyer miles might donate them
to CrossWay International for our travels of our team to various ministry
locations. This is a huge part of our budget and can really help out.
Email Dean if you would like to help in this critical area.
December 7 - Pray for the needed food for our 494 orphans in Adoor, Sudan as
we are facing some additional costs. Also, pray that more might send us
their old jewelry so we can send it in for its gold. We have received around
$2,000 from donations of jewelry, which will buy food for one month for the
orphans, which includes one breakfast of sorghum, a hot cup of tea for
lunch, and dinner of sorghum in the evening. A special thanks to all of you
who are helping us feed them. A special thanks again to Jerry Gowen at
Green Bull Jewelry for his help with all this and for processing the gold.
December 8 - Pray for the ticket costs for Dean and Dr. Katie Buck to travel
to care for the 494 orphans. They are not well and need a doctor badly.
Tickets for each of them will run as follows: USA to Nairobi = $2000;
Nairobi to Loki = $385; Loki with 4 seater plane to Adoor = $1500 or close
to $4000 each. They plan to leave, Lord willing, on January 10.
December 9 - Pray too for the medicine costs for anti-malarial meds,
anti-worm and fungus meds, etc.
December 10 - Pray for Dean and Harry Wake, a pastor from London, who will
be working together to oversee the work of a "water distribution system" in
the village of Adoor. Total cost of this project is $32,000.
December 11- Pray for Dean as he leaves for Alabama to preach and minister
in a church and take some time off to go deer hunting.
December 12 - Pray for our new website as Joan and others work hard to
complete it and get it up and running.
December 13- Pray for Dean as he takes some time off in Alabama with Mike
and his family.
December 14- Pray for Dean as he preaches at Mike and Laurie Mozingo's
church in Alabama. Pray that some will respond to the gospel and put their
trust in Christ alone for salvation.
December 15 - Pray for Dean as he flies back to Boerne, Texas, and that he
might have a chance to share the gospel with someone on the plane or in the
airport.
December 16 - Pray for greater boldness for all of us as we look to spending
time with various family members during the Christmas who may not yet know
Christ as their Savior. We have Christmas Tree (Scratch Me!) Tracts if you
would like some.
December 17 - Pray for our coworkers in Ethiopia, Melaku and Sosi Abebe, as
they continue their work with the English School for Evangelism and the four
Home Churches they have started bringing together on Sundays.
December 18 - Pray for Lawson Sampson and his evangelistic soccer team in
Nigeria. Also, pray for his church which he pastors.
December 19 - Pray for some young and courageous young men who might come
along side of Dean and help him oversee the work that is ongoing in Africa,
S. America, Europe, and Asia.
December 20 - Pray for the Way (Internet) Café in Guyana, as we are
relocating it to a better place. Pray for this move and its outreach to the
community.
December 21 - Pray for more laborers in God's Harvest, as the work is great
but the laborers are few.
December 22 - Pray for the Board of Directors on the CrossWay Sudan Board
who are assisting Dean in making crucial decisions in this part of the world
and verifying the funds spent.
December 23- Pray for more opportunities to use the drilling of water wells
as a platform for sharing the gospel in the 45 targeted villages in Africa:
Southern Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, and Tanzania.
December 25 - Pray that many might come to learn the significance of how
heaven was torn when the Messiah entered the world as Savior (Isa. 64:1).
December 26 - Pray for a clear gospel presentation of grace to all those who
come in contact with each of us during this season, that through simply
trusting in Jesus Christ, each of us can have the full assurance of the
forgiveness of all our sins.
December 27- Pray that the gospel might spread swiftly, not only among our
family but also through out the whole world, and that it might be honored
even as it is among us.
December 28 - Pray for Capt. Micah Chollar, Dean and Joan's youngest son who
is in the Air Force, as he is now in a supervisory role over the Pilot
Instructors at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio. A special praise too as this will
give him a bit more time at home with Heather and their 3 kids.
December 29 - Pray for Rachel and Jeremy Beasley and their two daughters and his work.
December 30 - Pray for Dean and Joan's youngest daughter, Bethany, as she is
expecting once again and has a 6 month old little boy, Troy.
