Prayer Calendar for CrossWay International
Dean and Joan Chollar
www.gocrossway.org

May 1 – Pray that the Lord might provide some new or used laptops for our
coworkers in Guyana and Nicaragua, as I will be making a number of trips
there this summer and these kinds of items are really useful to them.

May 2 – Pray that the Lord will raise up  the needed funds to purchase the
water well drilling rig, and that Bob Nicol and Merle Admire might have the
time to practice at least one well in Texas before we ship it to Northeast
Africa. For a musical picture display, go to www.gocrossway.org and check
out the “What’s New” Tab.

May 3 – Pray for Dean as he speaks at an Emmaus group in the Hill Country of
Texas and challenges them to work more closely with our ministry.

May 4 – Pray for both Bob Nicol and Merle Admire as they speak at various
locations to raise awareness for the needs in our new division within
CrossWay International, the CrossWay Water for Life Ministry.

May 5 – Pray for the various matching gifts that have been offered for our
water well drilling ministry and that they might be fully funded. The first
phase of this effort will run around $65,000 for the rig, shipping, truck,
and associated costs. We have about 1/3 of this needed amount.

May 6 – Pray for our coworkers in Ethiopia: Melaku, who serves as our NE
Africa Field Director and those he oversees in the Medical Clinic and the
English School for Evangelism and the house churches.

May 7 – Pray for our 549 orphans, as the account for them is getting low
from which we send in money for food, clothes, and management costs.

May 8 – Pray for our Board of Directors meeting for CrossWay International,
as we hope to install 7 more Directors to make up for the 3 who left
recently.  Several will be coming from out of town, so pray for safety for
them and that they won’t miss their connecting flights.

May 9 – Mother’s Day.  Pray for all the mothers of the world and the hand
that rocks the cradle.

May 10 – Pray for our Committee overseeing the needs of the 549 orphans in
Sudan near Darfur, as violence has erupted near them due to the elections in
Sudan.

May 11 – Pray for the harvest of the crops in the village where our orphans
live, as our first crop should come in soon. Pray that it might be a
bountiful harvest!

May 12 – Pray for wisdom as we make decisions on where to drill our water
wells in the coming months once we get things in place in NE Africa.

May 13 – Pray for the upcoming mission trip to Nicaragua with a team of
people, and for Rafa Rivas, our coworker, who is setting up the pastors’
conference and VBS ministries for our team.

May 14 – Pray for Dean as he leaves for the greater Seattle area to visit
his son and his family.

May 15 – Pray for Dean as he speaks at a special men’s Bible study in
Stanwood, Washington with Joshua Flickner who heads up this ministry.

May 16 – Pray for Dean as he preaches and challenges hearts to exercise a
moment by moment faith in God and to walk by faith and not by sight. Then
pray for Dean as he catches a red eye flight back to Texas at 11:45 PM that
night.

May 17 – Pray for our school in Sudan where we have 5 classes with 110 kids
in each class.  We could use more blackboards, books, and school supplies.

May 18 – Pray for Bruce McIntosh, a candidate missionary who is trained in
counseling, which is sorely needed overseas. Pray that God might raise up
his support for this needed work, as he has many requests for his services
in counseling.

May 19 – Pray for Dean’s schedule trip to Guyana in June to teach at a
pastors’ conference with a supporting church, and for the coworkers we have
in that country, John Persaud and Michael Williams.

May 20 – Pray that the Lord will raise up additional funds for the medicine
needed in our two clinics: one in Ethiopia and the other in Sudan. This is
an ongoing battle to keep the right kind and enough medicine to treat the
various issues that come up, such as Cholera, diarrhea, and malaria.

May 21 – Pray for the needed personnel to run the drilling rig in NE Africa.
We have had a number of interviews and need your prayers that the right men
might be chosen.

May 22 – Pray for Rafa Rivas as he marries this day and begins his new life
with Darling, his fiancée.  As soon as they get back from their honey moon,
he receives our team on June 1.

May 23 – Pray for the various groups who are raising awareness for the needs
of the orphans in many different cities and churches in the USA.

May 24 – Pray that more people might go to our website
www.crosswayorphans.org and sign up to pray for and sponsor one of our
orphans in Sudan.

May 25 – Keep on praying that God might raise up a few young men to come
along side and assist Dean in the work load he has. Dean is not getting any
younger!

May 26 – Pray for our USA staff as they work hard to keep things moving
forward in handling the accounting, graphic work for prayer letters, and
power points, etc.

May 27 – Pray for our other coworkers in Nigeria and Liberia and for an
opportunity to visit them in the coming year.

May 28 – Pray for all of our CrossWay Coffee Ambassadors and the key role
they play in helping us provide funds– especially for the food for the
orphans. Every bag that is ordered pays for enough food to feed one orphan
for one entire month.

May 29 – Pray for you, our prayer partners and our many churches that give
sacrificially to sustain our ministry and keep us moving forward in service
to God and the lost.

May 30 – Pray for greater boldness in sharing our faith with others, and
that we might make very clear that our salvation is a free gift through
faith alone in Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose from the dead.

May 31 – Memorial Day – Pray for all our military and the dangers they face
to keep us free.  Pray that our government doesn’t take away this freedom
through poor decisions.
