Hi All,

We are sending you our monthly prayer calendar from a new company, Vertical Response.  They help nonprofits send bulk emails much more easily than the process we were using.  There is now an Unsubscribe link at the bottom if you wish to be removed, and you can still reply to this email and reach Dean.  Thank you so much for being a part of CrossWay International!

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

Special praise and prayer requests:
We were able to drill 3 wells in Kenya in 3 weeks!  Thanks to those of you who helped with prayers and support that helped us purchase an air compressor and air hammer. What a blessing. What we need now is a 5 ton truck to mount it on. We have been renting a 40-year-old truck, and it is very difficult to get the compressor on and off the truck since it weighs 2.5 tons!  So please pray that God might bless us with the needed $15,000 for a good used 5-ton truck on which we can permanently mount this compressor.

July 1 – Pray for Joan as she leaves for Montana to visit our daughter and her family, including 4 of our granddaughters.  She is to return on July 13.

July 2 – Pray for the remaining items we need for our Medical Clinic in Meki, Ethiopia. We have bought most of the things but still lack a number of items to be fully licensed to operate this clinic. I’ll be posting a list of these items soon on our website.

July 3 – Pray for Dean as he preaches in Boerne and challenges the church to answer their call that God has given each of us.

July 4 – Pray that many might understand not only the freedom we have in the USA but the great freedom we have in Christ to serve him.

July 5 – Robert and Ann Messier’s team returns from Nicaragua.  Pray for safe travel back to Texas.

July 6 – Pray for the follow-up needed for the recent trips made by those of CrossWay to Liberia, Kenya, and Nicaragua.

July 7 – Pray for Merle Admire and the wells we are trying to drill in Nicaragua. Merle has made 2 trips in 3 weeks to try and arrange the paperwork and make decisions on all this.  He is doing a great job, and we hope to have 2 wells drilled soon!

July 8 – Pray for Southern Sudan as it announces its independence and the impending violence that might occur. Pray for our orphans in this region who have all been taken into various families in and around Adoor, Sudan.

July 9 – Pray for Bob Nicol, a missionary with CWI, and his possible trip to Liberia to help set up our ministry in this country. Pray for his support needs, as his account with CWI is quite low.

July 10 – Pray for Dean as he preaches in Pipe Creek, Texas and challenges the church to answer God’s calling for each of them.

July 11 – Pray for greater boldness (not rudeness) as each of us seek God’s leading to share our faith in Christ.

July 12 – Pray for Isaac and Rachel Zoedah as we take them on as coworkers in Liberia to help us with the care for around 50 orphans and needy kids.  Our new website will be up and running soon at www.gocrosswaykids.org

July 13 – Pray for Bruce McIntosh, our Member Care Director, and his support needs so that he might be more fully involved with our mission outreach program.

July 14 – Pray for the clarity of the gospel as we proclaim that it is not good people who go to heaven, but forgiven people.

July 15 – Pray for our new website we hope to have up soon: www.gocrosswaykids.org It should reflect the recent changes as we take on blind kids and orphans in Kenya and orphans and needy kids in Ethiopia and Liberia.

July 16- Pray for Rafa Rivas and Francisco Caldera in Nicaragua who provide so much of the work and infrastructure needed for various works which we do in this country.

July 17- Pray for the support needs for our missionaries (Robert and Ann Messier, Bruce McIntosh, Bob Nicol and Merle Admire). They are all contributing valuable help in reaching the lost.

July 18- Pray for more workers in God’s harvest and for clear guidance on how to move forward in an effective manner to reach the lost.

July 19 – Pray for more orders for our CrossWay Gift Cube and orders for our CrossWay coffee which helps to support our outreach to orphans and needy kids. www.crosswaycoffee.org

July 20 – Pray for another Pastors’ Conference in August in Nicaragua with Joe Falkner and Allen Mann.

July 21 – Pray for more opportunities for each of us to share the gospel of God’s grace— that salvation is not by the sweat of man but by the blood of Christ.

July 22 – Pray for a continued good team spirit among our USA staff: Dean (CEO), Robert (General Manager – part time), Anna (Executive Assistant), Sherry (CrossWay Coffee Manager), Rita (Accountant) and Joan (Office Manager).

July 23 – Pray for Dean as he lines up his speaking engagements and travel plans for the next couple of Quarters.

July 24 – Pray for the needed 5-ton truck to mount our air compressor on in Kenya.

July 25 – Pray that God might raise up the needed funds to drill more wells for the truly needy in Kenya, Nicaragua, and Liberia.

July 26 – Pray that we might all clearly proclaim the gospel, that it is not our good works that save us but the bad things we do that can keep us from heaven.   And that is why Christ came to die in our place and then rose from the dead.

July 27 – Pray for Bruce and Debbie McIntosh as they fly from Pennsylvania to Texas. Bruce will be meeting with various staff members and missionaries as our Member Care Director.

July 31 – Pray for each of us to pray about taking concrete steps to engage those around us to share the gospel of God’s grace with them.  (By grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.)
