Note: Thanks for your prayers for our recent trip to Sudan. Bob Nicol and I
had a successful time there photographing all 499 orphans and overseeing
some of the work on getting water to the orphan compound. We’ll share more
in our upcoming prayer letter.
Dean
February 1 – Pray for Trevor Smothers as he makes plans to go to Ethiopia
for a couple of months this summer to serve as Melaku Abebe’s assistant.
Trevor is a young man with a big heart for missions. Pray for all the
details of this trip and that God will raise up his support.
February 2 – Pray for our 499 orphans in Adoor, Sudan and that God might
raise up the support needed to start the CrossWay Christian School for them.
We need support for 12 teachers, books, chalk boards, and school supplies.
(Approximate cost is $3,000 a month)
February 3 – Pray for Dean as he leaves for a missions conference in
Miramar, Florida and will be speaking before a number of different groups.
February 4- Pray for the many water wells we hope to drill in Sudan and
other countries to provide safe and clean water, which then gives us a
platform for preaching the gospel.
February 5- Pray for fearlessness in sharing our faith as God leads and
brings people our way, whether at work, on trips, or with friends and
family.
February 6- Pray for the CrossWay Coffee ministry which we hope to start
soon and for the potential to raise funds through this project to support
the orphans and various projects. Pray for Sandy Watts who is heading this
up and for a part-time helper to move things forward.

CrossWay International. She is the new bride of Chase Courtney, the youth
pastor of our church in Boerne.

up and taken to LaGrange, Wyoming.
February 9- Pray for Dean as he speaks 5 times at the mission conference
week at Frontier School of the Bible, and for receptive hearts.
February 10- Pray that as Valentine’s Day approaches that many might make
good use of our website “imoodring.com” to share the gospel of God’s grace
with others. This is the time of year that men get desperate enough to check
out such things. Let’s make good use of it!
February 11- Pray for the posting of all the pictures of the 499 orphans on
our website to raise the awareness of their needs and how others might help
by prayer and support. Pray for Bob Payton who is heading this up.

leadership in various ongoing projects. We met January 12 in Nairobi, and
some important decisions and changes were implemented.
February 13 – Pray for more opportunities for each of us to share our faith
in a natural and God-led way.
February 14 – Pray for that special person in your life and the
super-powered love of God to enrich their life through you.
February 15 – Pray for more workers in God’s harvest, and a special praise
for Pastor Samuel Garang Kur, who accepted the position to work beside Moses
Aguer Bol in caring for the 499 orphans in Adoor, Sudan.
February 16- Pray for Bob Nicol, our Engineering Consultant, as he looks
into the best ways to drill wells and set up water distribution systems in
poverty stricken areas in Africa.

plans to go to Adoor, Sudan in April and personally look over the medical

a renewal of our working relationship.

his strongest praying churches. Pray that they might respond well to his
challenges.
February 23- Pray for the clarity of the gospel, that we as believers would
communicate it in a loving and effective manner. May we be clear in letting
others know of the absolute free gift of salvation by grace alone, through
faith alone, in Christ alone.
February 24- Pray for the consolidating of our financial procedures in our
Boerne office as we modify and make changes of receiving donations. A
