			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prayer Calendar for Dean and Joan Chollar and Crossway International<br />
August 2010<br />
<a href="http://www.gocrossway.org" target="_blank">www.gocrossway.org</a></p>
<p>No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he<br />
requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with<br />
your God.<br />
&#8211;Micah 6:8, NLT</p>
<p>August 1&#8211; Pray for Dean as he will be preaching in Stanwood, Washington in<br />
the church where Jason, his son, serves as the Worship Pastor.  Pray that<br />
hearts will be challenged.</p>
<p>August 2 – Pray for Dean as he returns from Washington, and that God might<br />
bring him in to contact with someone who needs Christ.</p>
<p>August 3 – Pray for Bob Nicol, our Engineer for our new branch ministry<br />
within CrossWay International, the CrossWay Water for Life (water well<br />
drilling ministry). We are looking to the Lord for his personal support and<br />
costs for such things as traveling to Kenya to receive our new drilling rig<br />
which is being shipped in a large container.  Also, we have around $55,000<br />
of the needed $65,000 to complete Phase One of this ministry. The $10,000<br />
lacking is for shipping costs, some other equipment, and materials and set<br />
up costs in Kenya.  (To read more about this ministry, please go to<br />
<a href="http://gocrossway.org/whatsnew/crossway-water-for-life/" target="_blank">http://gocrossway.org/whatsnew/crossway-water-for-life/</a></p>
<p>August 4 – Continue to pray for our 549 orphans in Sudan. The 15 which had<br />
malaria have all recovered, and support for their food supply is drawing<br />
down.  But they are now harvesting some of their own food which they have<br />
grown.</p>
<p>August 5 – Pray for Merle Admire, our Master Electrician, who is working<br />
with our water well drilling ministry as he considers focusing a bit more in<br />
Central America. (See prayer request on Aug. 10, too)</p>
<p>August 6 – Pray for greater boldness for each of us as we have opportunity<br />
to share the free gift of salvation through faith in Christ alone.</p>
<p>August 7 – Pray for Bruce McIntosh; he is looking to the Lord for His<br />
guidance and support to serve as a missionary with us and serve as a<br />
Christian Counselor and teacher at our Pastors’ Conferences.</p>
<p>August 8 – Pray for Rafa Rivas, our Field Director for Central America, and<br />
the critical role he has in our ministry in setting up pastors’ conferences<br />
and evangelistic efforts. Pray too for his support needs, as he is a<br />
faith-based missionary… as are all with CrossWay International.</p>
<p>August 9 &#8212; Pray for Francisco Caldera, whom we hope to appoint as our<br />
Nicaragua Field Director to work with Rafa Rivas, our Central America Field<br />
Director. He would assist Rafa in setting up evangelistic efforts and head<br />
up our water well drilling ministry there.</p>
<p>August 10 – 16 &#8211; Pray for Dean and the mission trip to Nicaragua with 3<br />
pastors and Merle Admire. We will be conducting a pastors’ conference and<br />
researching other evangelistic possibilities, as well as opportunities for<br />
some water well drilling in this area.  Rafa and Francisco will be assisting<br />
us.</p>
<p>August 17 – Pray for more laborers for our evangelistic work in the various<br />
countries in which we are active. The Harvest is great but the laborers are<br />
few.</p>
<p>August 18 – Pray for our coworkers in Sudan who care for our 549 orphans:<br />
Managers, Pastors Samuel and Moses; 10 teachers for our school; Committee of<br />
5 who oversee the funds, and the cleaning ladies and guards.</p>
<p>August 19 – Pray for the physical harvest of crops in Sudan to help feed the<br />
orphans this year and that they might be able to assume more and more<br />
responsibility as we make efforts to move them to a self-sustaining<br />
position. Pray for the spiritual harvest as well.</p>
<p>August 20 – Pray for more opportunities for each one of us to share the<br />
gospel of God’s grace and the free gift of eternal life through trusting in<br />
Christ alone.</p>
<p>August 21 – Pray for Ken Gatithi, our manager of our ministry in Kenya who<br />
is overseeing the development of our water well drilling ministry in<br />
northeast Africa. His wife, Winnie, is expecting in a few months, so he has<br />
his plate full!</p>
<p>August 22 – Pray for Dean as he preaches at NW Church in San Antonio and<br />
challenges hearts for missions and evangelism.</p>
<p>August 23 – Pray for Geoffrey Ndungu, our superintendent of the field work<br />
of drilling water wells in Kenya and surrounding countries. He recently lost<br />
his wife and has two teenage kids.</p>
<p>August 24 – Pray for our NGO status in Kenya so we might legally function in<br />
this country and possibly get tax-exempt privileges to help us do even more<br />
for the Lord’s work.</p>
<p>August 25 – Pray for Sherry Zule, the manager over our CrossWay Coffee<br />
Ministry.  She works very hard to help us raise awareness for our ministry<br />
needs, especially for the needs of the orphans, and looks to the Lord to<br />
raise up the needed funds. This ministry continues to provide a large<br />
portion of this need for our orphans. Thank you to all who order our coffee<br />
(<a href="http://www.crosswaycoffee.org" target="_blank">www.crosswaycoffee.org</a></p>
<p>August 26 – Pray for our many supporting churches and for our many prayer<br />
partners who give generously to keep us moving forward. We make a great team<br />
and couldn’t do what God allows us to do without this team work.</p>
<p>August 27 – Pray for the clarity of the gospel, that we who trust in Christ<br />
might clearly convey the gospel, the fact that all our sins are freely<br />
forgiven when one puts their trust in Christ alone, who died for our sins<br />
and rose again.</p>
<p>August 28 – Pray for the various pastors’ conferences on the drawing board<br />
for the coming year, which we hope to develop alongside of our evangelistic<br />
outreach events.</p>
<p>August 29 – Pray for Fernando Diaz and his work in Spain and Central America<br />
and how we might work more effectively together in the coming year.</p>
<p>August 30 – Pray for the spreading of the gospel and the safety of those who<br />
take the gospel into difficult and hostile areas of the world.</p>
<p>August 31 – Pray for someone you know right now who needs to hear the<br />
message of God’s love and grace and how God might use you as an instrument<br />
in His hand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prayer Calendar for Dean and Joan Chollar and Team<br />
CrossWay International<br />
July 2010<br />
<a href="http://www.gocrossway.org" target="_blank">www.gocrossway.org</a></p>
<p>Special Note: We had a great mission trip to Nicaragua last June with the 8<br />
of us who went. You will read some more prayer requests below so let’s<br />
follow up on these needed prayers.  Also, I was very sick just before I was<br />
to leave for a second mission trip in June to Guyana. Please pray for the 18<br />
others who went without me.</p>
<p>July 1 – Pray for the 131 individuals who put their trust in Christ for the<br />
forgiveness of their sins on our recent mission trip to Nicaragua. We had a<br />
great time and worked really well together having one mind, being in one<br />
spirit and purpose.</p>
<p>July 2 – Pray for our 549 orphans in Sudan as the past election in southern<br />
Sudan has disrupted some things as well as some internal issues with our<br />
management team in the field.  Also, 15 of our orphans have contracted<br />
malaria, which is a killer. Pray for the support needed for more meds.</p>
<p>On this date, Joan also returns from Montana after visiting Rachel and<br />
Jeremy and 4 of our granddaughters.</p>
<p>July 3- Pray for Bob Nicol and Merle Admire as they continue to develop our<br />
new division (CrossWay Water for Life) and the shipping of the new water<br />
well rig which should be leaving the Houston port soon. Pray that it gets<br />
there safely and that we can cut through all the red tape and corruption<br />
often associated with importing such equipment.</p>
<p>July 4- Pray for Dean as he preaches at Pipe Creek Community Church and<br />
challenges hearts to bring others into the freedom we have in Christ.</p>
<p>July 5 – Pray for Kyle Parsons who is in Ethiopia and working with our<br />
Northeast Africa Field Director. He has been there since June 1 and should<br />
be home by July 15.</p>
<p>July 6 – Bob Nicol has been invited to go to Peru with Engineers Without<br />
Borders. Pray for this upcoming trip from July 6 – 13.</p>
<p>July 7 – Pray for the upcoming mission trip with Dean and 3 other pastors to<br />
Nicaragua for another pastors conference on August 10 – 16. This field in<br />
Central America is starting to open up for us and we see some very good<br />
potential for future ministry. We hope to take Merle Admire with us to check<br />
out water well ministry.</p>
<p>July 8 – Pray for our Spanish speaking areas and personnel. We want to<br />
better organize our Central America Ministry:  Field Director (Rafael<br />
Rivas), our Spain coworker (Fernando Diaz) and another candidate (Francisco<br />
Cadera).  They all face prayer and support needs to move things forward in<br />
this field of ministry.</p>
<p>July 9 – Pray for parents with children who have special needs. 80 percent<br />
of couples who have children with special needs end up in divorce due to the<br />
huge pressure this puts them under. 3 of our coworkers fit in this category,<br />
and I know they would really appreciate your prayers.</p>
<p>July 10 – Pray for Sherry Zule, our manager over the CrossWay Coffee<br />
Ministry.  This ministry provides a large percentage of the support needs<br />
for our 549 orphans in Sudan to help provide food, medicine and needs.<br />
(Check out <a href="http://www.crosswaycoffee.org" target="_blank">www.crosswaycoffee.org</a>.</p>
<p>July 11 – Pray for the rest of our staff in the USA: Joan, our office<br />
manager; Robert our General Manager; Anna, our Executive Assistant; Rita,<br />
our accountant, and Dean, the CEO.  Pray that we will always maintain a good<br />
team spirit as in the past.</p>
<p>July 12 – Pray for greater boldness on the part of all of us to share the<br />
message of God’s grace and salvation that He provides through simple faith<br />
in Christ.</p>
<p>July 13 – Pray for Dean’s speaking engagements as he lines up his travel<br />
schedule for the coming months.</p>
<p>July 14 – Pray for our new Board of Directors in the USA. We have 12<br />
Directors now and a good spirit of unity and purpose.</p>
<p>July 15 – Pray for more workers in God’s harvest field, especially for Kenya<br />
and Nicaragua as we begin to concentrate more and more in these two<br />
countries.</p>
<p>July 16 – Pray for more opportunities for each one of us to share the gospel<br />
that God brings into our circle of influence.</p>
<p>July 17 – Pray for the farming going on in the village in Sudan where our<br />
549 orphans reside. We have sponsored two men to teach and train the<br />
villagers to begin to grow their own food and get on their own feet.</p>
<p>July 18 – Pray for our medical clinics in both Sudan and Ethiopia that we<br />
might strengthen their capacity to serve the people in their community so<br />
that people might see their good deeds and praise their father in heaven.</p>
<p>July 19 – Pray that we as believers might unlearn some of the churchy<br />
phrases that unintentionally obscure the gospel. May we all learn to use the<br />
predominant phrase in the New Testament and ask people to trust in Christ<br />
alone who died for their sins and rose from the dead.</p>
<p>July 20 – Please pray for our efforts to set up the Board of Directors for<br />
the CrossWay International Kenya ministry. We have some legal issues to work<br />
through on this, and we want to make sure the right people are appointed.</p>
<p>July 21 – Pray for our non-profit/tax-exempt status for this Board mentioned<br />
above so that we can get our drilling rig and equipment into Kenya without a<br />
lot of tax and problems.  We have two Ministers of Parliament in Kenya who<br />
are offering to help.</p>
<p>July 22 – Pray for the spreading of the gospel that it might spread swiftly<br />
and that it might be honored just as it is among us.</p>
<p>July 23 – Pray for school supplies for our school in Sudan and also for the<br />
Christian School in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Rich Mann is collecting school<br />
supplies and Bibles for us to take into Nicaragua on August 10.  If you can<br />
help and get them to me by August 8, I can pack them up and carry these in<br />
when I go to teach a Pastors Conference. We need Spanish Bibles, writing<br />
pads, pens and pencils, etc.</p>
<p>July 24 – Pray for Melaku Abebe, our Northeast Africa Field Director, and<br />
all that he is overseeing from the Medical Clinic, to the school to training<br />
and assisting others in the ministry.</p>
<p>July 25 &#8211; Pray for Geoffrey Ndungu, the newly appointed superintendent of<br />
our well drilling team in Kenya. He lost his wife last month to a sudden<br />
disease and has two teenage kids. In spite of this, he has worked tirelessly<br />
to help prepare the way for the new well drilling ministry in Kenya.</p>
<p>July 26 – Pray for the safety of our new drilling team in Kenya.  As you may<br />
remember, Bob Nicol lost his finger tip when practicing here in Texas with<br />
the rig. It can be a dangerous job for fingers.</p>
<p>July 27 – Pray, too, for the safety of those who risk their life to share<br />
the gospel of God’s grace overseas. Not all men are of faith and we face<br />
some real hostility sometimes.</p>
<p>July 28 &#8211; Robert Messier, our General Manager, leaves for Delaware to<br />
represent CrossWay International at Jubilee Fest, a special festival with<br />
Christian musicians and events.   Bob Payton, our coworker at one of our<br />
supporting churches in Maryland, is lining all this up. Pray for a fruitful<br />
trip and that he can help raise awareness for our ministry.</p>
<p>July 29 – Pray for wisdom on how best to deal with some of the false<br />
teachings overseas such as the “prosperity teaching” and so forth. These<br />
extreme teachings tear up churches and do a great deal of harm.</p>
<p>July 30 – Pray for Dean who leaves for Seattle to preach at a supporting<br />
church and visit his son Jason and family.</p>
<p>July 31 – Stop right now and pray for someone you know who does not yet know<br />
the full forgiveness of their sins through simple trust in Jesus Christ.<br />
Pray how you might be able to befriend them and share your testimony with<br />
them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>June 2010 Prayer Calendar</p>
<p>Prayer Calendar for CrossWay International<br />
For Dean and Joan Chollar and Team<br />
<a href="../" target="_blank">http://gocrossway.org</a></p>
<p>Special thanks and prayer requests:<br />
Thanks for all your prayers and please pray especially for our kids.  Several<br />
of them are facing some hard times as young adults.<br />
Also pray for Bob Nicol and Merle Admire as they drill a test water well<br />
with our new drilling rig in a few days. They plan to pick it up on May  24.<br />
We hope to send the rig over in June in a container.<br />
June 1 – 8 – Dean leaves for a pastors’ conference in Nicaragua with a<br />
small team of around 8 people. Please pray for safe travel and a good  time<br />
to build up the body of believers in the area of Matagalpa. Pray too for<br />
Rafael Rivas, our coworker who is newlywed (May 22) and for his support<br />
needs as he goes out in faith trusting God to undergird his work and<br />
ministry with CrossWay International as one of our key Field Directors.<br />
Dean, Rafael, Allen Mann, and Robert Messier will be teaching a pastors<br />
conference and the others will be leading a children’s ministry.<br />
Also, check out our newest prayer letter:<br />
<a href="../2010/05/may-2010-crossway-prayer-letter-water-its-not-just-for-drinking/" target="_blank">http://gocrossway.org/2010/05/may-2010-crossway-prayer-letter-water-its-not-<br />
just-for-drinking/</a><br />
Also, we need a lot of power and hand tools to go along with this rig.  If<br />
you have any, please let us know.<br />
See the list here:</p>
<p><a href="http://gocrossway.org/whatsnew/crossway-water-for-life/combined-tool-list-2/">http://gocrossway.org/whatsnew/crossway-water-for-life/combined-tool-list-2/</a></p>
<p>June 9 – Pray for Bob Nicol, our newest addition to our missionary team  as<br />
he lines up the details of packing a container to ship to Kenya. Bob is<br />
heading up our new division along with Merle Admire, CrossWay Water for<br />
Life, and is shipping our new drilling rig with all its pipe and<br />
attachments. He plans to go himself in July to receive this container  and<br />
set up our drilling team to help provide not only clean safe drinking  water<br />
but the message of the Living Water Himself.<br />
June 10 – Pray for Dean’s speaking engagements as he lines up his fall  and<br />
winter schedule. Let him know of any opportunities to challenge folks to<br />
walk by faith and not by sight.<br />
June 11 – Pray for our staff in the USA as we handle these many projects  and<br />
stay focused on keeping the gospel first and foremost.<br />
June 12 – Keep our support needs in your prayers as many of our prayer<br />
partners are designating donations for project which puts our general<br />
account under some pressure. Pray that we might continue to keep our  boat<br />
upright as we move forward with faith in God.<br />
June 13 – Pray for our many volunteer and supported coworkers around the<br />
world who assist us in these many projects we are undertaking to use as a<br />
platform for sharing the gospel.<br />
June 14 – Pray for the various positions open in CrossWay International:<br />
Apprentices for Dean, Manager over our clinics in Ethiopia and Sudan,<br />
agriculture experts and teachers for our schools.<br />
June 15 – Pray for the various translations of evangelistic materials  and<br />
messages into various languages.<br />
June 16 – Pray for Dean and Joan’s grandson, Aaron, who suffers from  severe<br />
autism and is not getting the care he truly needs in his present school<br />
system in the Stanwood, Washington area.<br />
June 17 – Pray for 200 other orphans in Sudan who live not far off from  the<br />
549 orphans that we are presently helping. I got word last week that one  of<br />
the 200 died from malnutrition. We would like to help but our 549 are  all we<br />
can help at this time.<br />
June 18 – Pray for greater boldness and faith when it comes to sharing  the<br />
gospel of Christ as there is no greater miracle than seeing one pass  from<br />
death to life. (John 5:24)<br />
June 19 &#8211; 29 – Pray for Dean as he heads off for another pastors  conference,<br />
this time in Guyana with one of our supporting churches. Dean will be<br />
preaching at a church in Georgetown and then moving on to the pastors’<br />
conference in the Berbice region. Pray for his strength as travel takes a<br />
toll on his aging body!<br />
June 30 – Pray for someone you know today who needs to hear the gospel.  The<br />
only Bible some may read is your own life and effort of God to reach  them<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prayer Calendar for CrossWay International<br />
Dean and Joan Chollar<br />
<a href="http://www.gocrossway.org/" target="_blank">www.gocrossway.org</a></p>
<p>May 1 – Pray that the Lord might provide some new or used laptops for our<br />
coworkers in Guyana and Nicaragua, as I will be making a number of trips<br />
there this summer and these kinds of items are really useful to them.</p>
<p>May 2 – Pray that the Lord will raise up  the needed funds to purchase the<br />
water well drilling rig, and that Bob Nicol and Merle Admire might have the<br />
time to practice at least one well in Texas before we ship it to Northeast<br />
Africa. For a musical picture display, go to <a href="http://www.gocrossway.org/" target="_blank">www.gocrossway.org</a> and check<br />
out the “What’s New” Tab.</p>
<p>May 3 – Pray for Dean as he speaks at an Emmaus group in the Hill Country of<br />
Texas and challenges them to work more closely with our ministry.</p>
<p>May 4 – Pray for both Bob Nicol and Merle Admire as they speak at various<br />
locations to raise awareness for the needs in our new division within<br />
CrossWay International, the CrossWay Water for Life Ministry.</p>
<p>May 5 – Pray for the various matching gifts that have been offered for our<br />
water well drilling ministry and that they might be fully funded. The first<br />
phase of this effort will run around $65,000 for the rig, shipping, truck,<br />
and associated costs. We have about 1/3 of this needed amount.</p>
<p>May 6 – Pray for our coworkers in Ethiopia: Melaku, who serves as our NE<br />
Africa Field Director and those he oversees in the Medical Clinic and the<br />
English School for Evangelism and the house churches.</p>
<p>May 7 – Pray for our 549 orphans, as the account for them is getting low<br />
from which we send in money for food, clothes, and management costs.</p>
<p>May 8 – Pray for our Board of Directors meeting for CrossWay International,<br />
as we hope to install 7 more Directors to make up for the 3 who left<br />
recently.  Several will be coming from out of town, so pray for safety for<br />
them and that they won’t miss their connecting flights.</p>
<p>May 9 – Mother’s Day.  Pray for all the mothers of the world and the hand<br />
that rocks the cradle.</p>
<p>May 10 – Pray for our Committee overseeing the needs of the 549 orphans in<br />
Sudan near Darfur, as violence has erupted near them due to the elections in<br />
Sudan.</p>
<p>May 11 – Pray for the harvest of the crops in the village where our orphans<br />
live, as our first crop should come in soon. Pray that it might be a<br />
bountiful harvest!</p>
<p>May 12 – Pray for wisdom as we make decisions on where to drill our water<br />
wells in the coming months once we get things in place in NE Africa.</p>
<p>May 13 – Pray for the upcoming mission trip to Nicaragua with a team of<br />
people, and for Rafa Rivas, our coworker, who is setting up the pastors’<br />
conference and VBS ministries for our team.</p>
<p>May 14 – Pray for Dean as he leaves for the greater Seattle area to visit<br />
his son and his family.</p>
<p>May 15 – Pray for Dean as he speaks at a special men’s Bible study in<br />
Stanwood, Washington with Joshua Flickner who heads up this ministry.</p>
<p>May 16 – Pray for Dean as he preaches and challenges hearts to exercise a<br />
moment by moment faith in God and to walk by faith and not by sight. Then<br />
pray for Dean as he catches a red eye flight back to Texas at 11:45 PM that<br />
night.</p>
<p>May 17 &#8211; Pray for our school in Sudan where we have 5 classes with 110 kids<br />
in each class.  We could use more blackboards, books, and school supplies.</p>
<p>May 18 – Pray for Bruce McIntosh, a candidate missionary who is trained in<br />
counseling, which is sorely needed overseas. Pray that God might raise up<br />
his support for this needed work, as he has many requests for his services<br />
in counseling.</p>
<p>May 19 – Pray for Dean’s schedule trip to Guyana in June to teach at a<br />
pastors’ conference with a supporting church, and for the coworkers we have<br />
in that country, John Persaud and Michael Williams.</p>
<p>May 20 – Pray that the Lord will raise up additional funds for the medicine<br />
needed in our two clinics: one in Ethiopia and the other in Sudan. This is<br />
an ongoing battle to keep the right kind and enough medicine to treat the<br />
various issues that come up, such as Cholera, diarrhea, and malaria.</p>
<p>May 21 – Pray for the needed personnel to run the drilling rig in NE Africa.<br />
We have had a number of interviews and need your prayers that the right men<br />
might be chosen.</p>
<p>May 22 – Pray for Rafa Rivas as he marries this day and begins his new life<br />
with Darling, his fiancée.  As soon as they get back from their honey moon,<br />
he receives our team on June 1.</p>
<p>May 23 – Pray for the various groups who are raising awareness for the needs<br />
of the orphans in many different cities and churches in the USA.</p>
<p>May 24 – Pray that more people might go to our website<br />
<a href="http://www.crosswayorphans.org/" target="_blank">www.crosswayorphans.org</a> and sign up to pray for and sponsor one of our<br />
orphans in Sudan.</p>
<p>May 25 – Keep on praying that God might raise up a few young men to come<br />
along side and assist Dean in the work load he has. Dean is not getting any<br />
younger!</p>
<p>May 26 – Pray for our USA staff as they work hard to keep things moving<br />
forward in handling the accounting, graphic work for prayer letters, and<br />
power points, etc.</p>
<p>May 27 – Pray for our other coworkers in Nigeria and Liberia and for an<br />
opportunity to visit them in the coming year.</p>
<p>May 28 – Pray for all of our CrossWay Coffee Ambassadors and the key role<br />
they play in helping us provide funds&#8211; especially for the food for the<br />
orphans. Every bag that is ordered pays for enough food to feed one orphan<br />
for one entire month.</p>
<p>May 29 – Pray for you, our prayer partners and our many churches that give<br />
sacrificially to sustain our ministry and keep us moving forward in service<br />
to God and the lost.</p>
<p>May 30 – Pray for greater boldness in sharing our faith with others, and<br />
that we might make very clear that our salvation is a free gift through<br />
faith alone in Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose from the dead.</p>
<p>May 31 – Memorial Day – Pray for all our military and the dangers they face<br />
to keep us free.  Pray that our government doesn’t take away this freedom<br />
through poor decisions.</p>

<p>April 1 – Dean will be on his trip to Kenya from March 30 – April 9. Pray<br />
for Dean as he meets with the CrossWay Sudan Board of Directors in Nairobi,<br />
Kenya.  Also, Bob Nicol, our Engineer, and Merle Admire, our Master<br />
Electrician, arrive in Nairobi, Kenya on this date.</p>
<p>April 2 – Pray for us three (Dean, Bob and Merle) as we travel up north to<br />
Moffat Bible College in the Rift Valley area to interview workers for our<br />
new division, CrossWay Water for Life.</p>
<p>April 3 – Dean and Bobb head off to Mombasa, Kenya to work and hold a<br />
Pastors Conference with 150 pastors and hold some evangelistic events with<br />
Chris Moore. We recently drilled a well on Chris Moore’s church compound<br />
that serves thousands of people with free clean drinking water and the<br />
Living Water Himself.  Merle heads off from Nairobi to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia<br />
to check on our Medical Clinic in Meki.</p>
<p>April 4 – Pray for Dean as he preaches on Easter Sunday and proclaims the<br />
resurrection of Jesus Christ.  He is alive!</p>
<p>April 5 – Pray that God will raise up the needed funds to finish the<br />
fabrication of our drilling rig which we plan to send to Kenya in June. We<br />
have a ways to go, as it will cost around $65,000 to get this division of<br />
CrossWay International up and running with our own rig, truck, equipment and<br />
crew.</p>
<p>April 6 – Keep our U.S. staff in your prayers: Joan, the Office Manager;<br />
Anna, the Executive Assistant; Robert, the General Manager; Sherry, the<br />
Manager of CrossWay Coffee Ministry and Rita, the accountant.  Maybe Dean,<br />
too <img src='http://gocrossway.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>April 7 – Pray for upcoming trips by Dean to Indiana and three mission trips<br />
this summer: 2 to Nicaragua in June and August and one to Guyana with Faith<br />
Community Church.</p>
<p>April 8 – Pray for Merle and Dean as they finish up their trip to Africa and<br />
visit with the Board of CrossWay Sudan in Nairobi. Pray for the registration<br />
of CrossWay International as a non-profit, tax exempt organization in Kenya.</p>
<p>April 9 &#8211; Pray for Dean and Merle as they head back from Kenya to the USA.<br />
Pray that our trip was a success and that many might have responded to the<br />
gospel.</p>
<p>April 10 – Pray for Bob Nicol, as he will be in Ethiopia overseeing the<br />
Medical Clinic in Meki and getting it in shape for approval by the Ethiopian<br />
government. This Medical Clinic will be a strong magnet from which we can<br />
evangelize in a town of 60,000 without any medical care.</p>
<p>April 11 – Pray for Bob Nicol as he visits the drought-stricken area of<br />
eastern Kenya to determine where we need to drill some water wells and open<br />
doors for Dean to return to teach and evangelize.</p>
<p>April 12 – Pray for our upcoming Board of Directors meeting on May 8 and the<br />
new individuals joining our team. We are taking on 8 new Directors.</p>
<p>April 13 – Pray for the translation of some of our evangelistic materials<br />
into Spanish for Central America and Swahili and Denka for Northeast Africa.</p>
<p>April 14 – Pray for the agricultural training going on in the village where<br />
our 549 orphans live in Sudan (<a href="http://www.crosswayorphans.org/" target="_blank">www.crosswayorphans.org</a>) . We want this<br />
village to get on its feet to look after these precious souls eventually<br />
without help from us.  Pray for Tabitha, the wife of Moses, as she may have<br />
appendicitis instead of worms.</p>
<p>April 15 – Pray for Rafael Rivas, our new Candidate Field Director and his<br />
needed support. He marries in mid May and is doing already a great work in<br />
Nicaragua by setting up a pastors conference and evangelistic events for us<br />
in June.</p>
<p>April 16 – Pray for our income-generating projects in the village in Sudan<br />
near Darfur where our 549 orphans live. We have a pickup truck which earns<br />
$800 a month and a grinding machine for sorghum which earns $50 a month<br />
right now.</p>
<p>April 17 – Pray for Dean as he heads off to the Indianapolis area to meet<br />
with and preach at a church of dear friends, the Baileys and Sollidays, who<br />
have supported our orphans in substantial ways.</p>
<p>April 18 – Pray for Dean as he personally thanks this church and preaches<br />
and challenges folks to walk by faith and not by sight.</p>
<p>April 19 – Pray for another income-generating project we hope to start in<br />
the village where our orphans are:  we want to buy sewing machines for the<br />
ladies of the village to make clothes for the orphans and generate some<br />
income and support for themselves.</p>
<p>April 20 – Pray for greater boldness for each of us to share their faith in<br />
Christ. Write that email you have been holding back on to that person you<br />
might befriend. Go ahead. Do it!</p>
<p>April 21 – Pray for more workers in God’s harvest as we continue our<br />
exciting expansion into all the world to take the gospel of God’s matchless<br />
grace!</p>
<p>April 22 – Pray specifically for Bruce McIntosh, Bob Nicol, Merle Admire,<br />
and others as we look to God to raise up their support so they can more<br />
fully serve in our ministry.</p>
<p>April 23 – Pray for Lawson Sampson and Malcolm Harris as we hope to expand<br />
into western Africa to the countries of Nigeria and Liberia in 2011.</p>
<p>April 24 – Pray for more opportunities for Dean and each of us to share our<br />
faith in Christ and the free gift of salvation.</p>
<p>April 25 – Pray for Dean as he preaches at Watermark church in Boerne. Pray<br />
that hearts might be challenged.</p>
<p>April 26 – Pray for our new Communication Technician, Mark Seamans, as he<br />
helps us with several issues with the internet and phone system. Pray too<br />
for his daughter, Madison, who struggles with some eye issues.</p>
<p>April 27 – Pray for the clarity of the gospel and that each of us might<br />
communicate clearly that it is only by grace alone, through faith alone, in<br />
Christ alone who died for our sins and rose from the dead.</p>
<p>April 28 – A special personal prayer request: Please pray for Dean and<br />
Joan’s grandson, Aaron, who suffers from autism and recently went to a<br />
treatment center in California (C.A.R.D.) and had some good results. But<br />
they still have some real serious issues to face.</p>
<p>April 29 – Pray for those who take the gospel into harm’s way and for their<br />
safety.</p>
<p>April 30 – Pray right now for someone you might share the gospel with and<br />
how you might take concrete steps to befriend them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prayer Calendar for Dean and Joan Chollar and team at CrossWay International<br />
March 2010</p>
<p>March  1 – Please pray for continued growth at CrossWay International, and<br />
also for the 7 new Candidate Missionaries who have applied and are in the<br />
process of lining up prayer partners to undergird their efforts.</p>
<p>March 2 – Please pray for the 7 new Directors who will be coming on our<br />
Board of Directors at our next Board meeting. We are blessed to have such<br />
gifted individuals.</p>
<p>March 3 – Pray for several key meetings that Dean will have concerning the<br />
needed support for our drilling equipment we hope to purchase and ship to<br />
Kenya.  This drilling rig will enable us to do far more and at much better<br />
prices.</p>
<p>March 4 – Pray for Dean and Bob Nicol as they challenge the youth at San<br />
Antonio Christian School in Chapel. We have seen many youth rise up to help<br />
the 549 orphans in Sudan that are under our care.</p>
<p>March 5 – Pray that a matching grant for $8,000 will be met so we can move<br />
forward on the order and purchase of the drilling rig mentioned above. We<br />
have until March 31 to match this gift.</p>
<p>March 6 – Pray for more workers in God’s Harvest and for such men as Rafael<br />
Rivas in Nicaragua and Melaku Abebe in Ethiopia who serve at different<br />
capacities as Field Directors.</p>
<p>March 7 – Pray for Dean’s travel plans, as he will be in Kenya in part of<br />
March and April, Nicaragua in June, Guyana in June and July, and back again<br />
to Nicaragua in August.</p>
<p>March 8 &#8212; Pray for greater boldness for each one of us to share our faith<br />
in Christ and that we would not be ashamed of the Gospel of God.</p>
<p>March 9 – Pray for the completion of the Medical Clinic in Meki, Ethiopia<br />
and that we might get it up and running soon.</p>
<p>March 10 – Pray for our 549 orphans in Sudan near Darfur and for their<br />
safety and health. We sent meds in recently to treat their severe coughing.</p>
<p>March 11 – Pray for our USA staff and send up a prayer of appreciation for<br />
all their hard and faithful work to keep things moving forward.</p>
<p>March 12 – Pray for more opportunities for Dean and each one of us to share<br />
our faith in Christ and not to overlook the obvious.</p>
<p>March 13 – Pray for Dean as he leaves for the West Palm Beach area to visit<br />
and speak at one of his supporting churches.</p>
<p>March 14- Pray for Dean as he speaks at church and then heads up to Orlando<br />
by bus.</p>
<p>March 15 – Pray for Dean as he flies back to San Antonio.</p>
<p>March 16 – Pray for the clarity of the gospel, that each one of us would<br />
make clear to others that our salvation is an absolute free gift from God by<br />
faith in Christ alone.</p>

eternal security, evangelistic cards to use on mission trips, etc.)</p>

technician and soon to be Director, as he keeps our 7 computers networked<br />
and running smoothly.</p>

up flights within Africa and looks into various other tasks. He lives in<br />
Nairobi and plays an important role in many ways.</p>

the gospel of light to others.</p>
<p>March 21 – Pray for my friend, Mike Harkrider, and his recovery from his<br />
recent neck surgery.</p>
<p>March 22 – Pray for several Christian Schools making arrangements to help<br />
the orphans by various projects they hope to develop.</p>
<p>March 23- Pray for the spreading of the gospel, that it might spread quickly<br />
and be honored even as it is among us.</p>
<p>March 24  - Pray for those who have kids with autism and learning<br />
difficulties as this places a tremendous load on the parents. I heard on the<br />
radio recently that one state in the USA has 2 out of 100 boys born<br />
diagnosed with autism. Pray that the scientists figure out the cause and<br />
treatment.</p>
<p>March 25  &#8211; Please pray for Merle Admire as he takes steps to join CrossWay<br />
International.  He will have taken a week long course in how to repair water<br />
pumps.  He is a Master Electrician by trade but has transferable skills and<br />
a huge heart for the Lord.</p>
<p>March 26 – Pray for our CrossWay Coffee Ministry as it helps provide food<br />
for the orphans through its revenues.</p>
<p>March 27 – Pray for the Agricultural training going on right now in the<br />
village where the orphans live. We are determined to not create a syndrome<br />
of dependency and give them the tools and training to provide for<br />
themselves.</p>
<p>March 28 – Pray for each other and especially our hearts, that God would<br />
break them and help us all stay focused on eternal issues.</p>
<p>March 29 – Pray for someone you know who needs Christ and make concrete<br />
steps to reach out to them.</p>
<p>March 30 – Pray for Dean and Bob Nicol as they head over to Kenya.  Dean<br />
will be teaching at a pastors’ conference and visiting with the CrossWay<br />
Sudan Board of Directors.  Bob, our Engineer, will be working on the details<br />
of shipping over our drilling rig and lining up teams to run it.</p>
<p>March 31 – Pray for Dean and Bob as they fly into Nairobi. Dean will be<br />
having a Board meeting with the CrossWay Sudan Board and lining up our<br />
non-profit status with the country of Kenya.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prayer Calendar for Dean and Joan Chollar with CrossWay International<br />
January 2010<br />
<a style="color: #114170;" href="http://www.gocrossway.org/" target="_blank">www.gocrossway.org</a></p>
<p>Dean and Joan and our staff, both here in the USA and overseas, want to wish<br />
you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!</p>
<p>January 1 – Pray for the upcoming year of 2010 and that we might all be more<br />
devoted to the Lord and His work.</p>
<p>January 2 – Pray for our 549 orphans in Sudan and especially for the clothes<br />
they need, as they only have what is on their backs.  We are hoping to buy<br />
some clothes soon for them if we can get a good price in the area where they<br />
live.  Also, milk cows and milk goats.</p>
<p>January 3- Pray for our staff in the USA as we settle into our routine of<br />
defining roles and work assignments.</p>
<p>January 4- Pray for greater courage and boldness as each of us has the<br />
opportunity to share the gospel of God’s grace.</p>
<p>January 5 – Pray for Dr. Isaiah Dau and Mr. Ken Gatithi as they travel from<br />
Nairobi, Kenya into Sudan to check on the orphans and their needs. This will<br />
be a great help as they know the culture and Isaiah speaks Denka.</p>
<p>January 6- Pray for the decisions concerning the management team and<br />
coworker’s job descriptions in Sudan who look after the orphans. Isaiah and<br />
Ken will be making recommendations of how best to restructure some of the<br />
oversight in this ministry.</p>
<p>January 7 – Pray for Dean as he travels to Arizona to teach at a Youth<br />
Retreat led by Allen Mann.</p>
<p>January 8  - Pray for the youth in Arizona that their hearts will be open to<br />
receive what Dean teaches at this Youth Retreat.</p>
<p>January 9 – Pray for Allen and Sheree Mann as they wrestle with certain<br />
health concerns with their children. 3 of their children are adopted and<br />
have concerns that they acquired from their birth mothers.</p>
<p>January 10- Pray for the ability to take on more coworkers to strengthen<br />
various areas of our ministry.</p>
<p>January 11- Pray for the return travel of Dean from the Arizona area and<br />
also for the return travel of Isaiah and Ken from their visit to oversee the<br />
orphans in Sudan.</p>
<p>January 12 – Pray for Sherry Zule, our manager of the CrossWay Coffee<br />
Ministry, as she develops this ministry which provides easily half of the<br />
needed funds just to feed the orphans in Sudan.  Pray that this ministry<br />
might expand and grow, and that more churches might work with us to provide<br />
even more help for these kids.</p>
<p>January 13 – Pray for more opportunities for each of us to share the gospel<br />
of God’s grace this year of 2010.</p>
<p>January 14 – Pray for Dean as he lines up his speaking engagements for this<br />
quarter and the next one.  If you or your church would like Dean to come and<br />
speak, please let him know.  <a style="color: #114170;" href="mailto:dean@gocrossway.org">dean@gocrossway.org</a></p>
<p>January 15 – Pray for the 3 who have made application with CrossWay<br />
International to become missionaries to various fields where God is already<br />
working through us.</p>
<p>January 16 – Pray for the 9 men who are being invited to join our Board of<br />
Directors and that this new infusion of gifted men might move us forward to<br />
achieve all that God brings our way.</p>
<p>January 17 – Pray that as we move forward, that attention will be given to<br />
the clarity of the gospel of God’s grace. By grace alone, through faith<br />
alone, in Christ alone.</p>
<p>January 18 – Pray for Anna Ochoa, our Executive Assistant, as she assumes<br />
more and more responsibility and important work in our ministry.</p>
<p>January 19 – Pray for the 8 to 10 members of those planning to go to<br />
Nicaragua this June and for all the needed prayer and support for this<br />
mission trip.  Pray for Kyle Parsons, too, who is making plans to go to<br />
Ethiopia for 6 weeks this summer.</p>
<p>January 20 – Pray for Robert Messier, our General Manager, who suffers from<br />
a broken back he received in the Navy, and for his critical help in<br />
overseeing aspects of our ministry.</p>
<p>January 21 – Pray for Dean as he speaks in the Chapel of San Antonio<br />
Christians School and challenges the youth to see beyond themselves and<br />
serve God with a pure heart.</p>
<p>January 22 – Pray for Rita Chapman, our accountant who is managing our<br />
various accounts and keeping all our books updated and straight.  Pray for<br />
her son, too, who is looking for a job.</p>
<p>January 23 – Pray for the spreading of the gospel of God’s grace, that it<br />
might spread swiftly and be honored even as it is among us.</p>
<p>January 24 – Pray for Bob Nicol, our Engineer who oversees and gives<br />
direction for our well drilling. And pray for the possibility of acquiring<br />
our own drilling rig to facilitate this ministry.  Pray, too, for his<br />
support needs, as he has worked on his own dime for most of this work.</p>
<p>January 25 – Pray for Merle Admire, our Master Electrician, who is praying<br />
about his transition to part-time or full-time work with us to help oversee<br />
various aspects of our ministry overseas.</p>
<p>January 26 – Pray for the safety of those bringing the gospel into more<br />
unstable parts of the world.</p>
<p>January 27 – Pray for Dean and the learning curve he has to acquire certain<br />
skills with new software and equipment designed for the blind.</p>
<p>January 28 – Pray for the many non-paid staff who keep our computers and<br />
facilities in good working order. Brian Bond has sacrificially given us his<br />
time and computing expertise as well as many others.  Just to name a few<br />
more:  Ralph Stephenson, Bob Dibble, Bob Messier, and Rudy Nadler have taken<br />
care of the building/grounds needs, Ronnie Brown and Merle Admire with the<br />
electrical needs and John Pritchett and Dennis Sundin with firewood to keep<br />
us warm. Say a special prayer of thanks for these gifted men and all they<br />
do.  And our Coffee Ambassadors are too many to mention!</p>
<p>January 29 – Pray for Dean as he travels to the Arlington, Texas area to<br />
speak in a Chapel of a Christian School and challenge hearts.</p>
<p>January 30 – Pray for the lost whom God brings into your life. You may be<br />
the one God wants to use to share his message of love and grace.</p>
<p>January 31- Pray for Dean as he preaches and challenges hearts in the area<br />
of evangelism and discipleship.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prayer Calendar for Dean and Joan Chollar with CrossWay International<br />
December 2009<br />
<a style="color: #114170;" href="http://www.gocrossway.org" target="_blank">www.gocrossway.org</a></p>
<p>Note: Rachel, Dean and Joan’s oldest daughter, had twins last November 9.<br />
Little Grace and Hope arrived and weighed around 5 and a half pounds each.<br />
All is well.</p>
<p>Also, the anti-malarial meds made it to the orphans on November 24 after<br />
many delays in trying to get it there.</p>
<p>December 1   &#8211; Pray for the orphans in Sudan and the medicine we sent in for<br />
the outbreak of malaria.  As of now, all looks like it is contained and the<br />
orphans are recovering.  A special thanks to those who order CrossWay<br />
Coffee, as this provided the funds for this cost.  Pray also for Sherry<br />
Zule, who is the Manager for the CrossWay Coffee Ministry; she works very<br />
hard for this purpose.</p>
<p>December 2 – Pray for the end-of-the-year support that normally is given in<br />
December. We are facing quite a few daunting challenges to meet our ministry<br />
needs to reach out to the lost and the down trodden.</p>
<p>December 3 – Pray for the completion of the Medical Clinic in Meki, Ethiopia<br />
and the waste water system. Bob Nicol is overseeing this with our regional<br />
Director, Melaku Abebe.</p>
<p>December 4 – Pray for the water well drilling in the area of Morogoro,<br />
Tanzania which Bob Nicol is helping to oversee. This will serve as a water<br />
source for a model farm with African Inland Mission in Tanzania headed by<br />
Tony and Cathy Swanson.</p>
<p>December 5 – Pray for our Board of Directors meeting as we consider taking<br />
on more Directors, Managers, and Missionaries.  This will represent a<br />
substantial expansion of our ministry outreach to the lost.</p>
<p>December 6 – Pray for greater boldness as each one of us has more<br />
opportunities during the Christmas holidays to share our faith with friends<br />
and family.</p>
<p>December 7 – Pray for more faithful workers in God’s harvest, and thank God<br />
for the coworkers He has brought our way. We are truly blessed to have so<br />
many with a high level of integrity.</p>
<p>December 8 – Pray for Dean as he upgrades his software for the blind. He<br />
will be all day in a training session at Light House for the Blind and<br />
learning several new programs with various electronic devices.</p>
<p>December 9 – Pray for the many workers caring for the 549 orphans in Sudan<br />
and for their health needs, as many suffer from a poor diet.  Pray for<br />
Charles Kimolo, who we plan to send in this January to train people in the<br />
area of agriculture farming.</p>
<p>December 10 – Pray for a closer walk with God for each one of us. May we<br />
never take for granted not only the gifts from God but for God Himself and<br />
how we can do nothing apart from Him.</p>
<p>December 11 – Pray for Lawson Sampson in Nigeria and the church we helped to<br />
start in Badagry, Nigeria. Pray too for his evangelistic outreach through<br />
his soccer team and the drilling of several wells.</p>
<p>December 12 – Pray for Isaiah Dau and Ken Gatithi, two of our Directors of<br />
the CrossWay Sudan ministry, as they make plans to visit our ministry in<br />
Sudan and assess the needs and oversee the work.</p>
<p>December 13 – Pray for Dean as he preaches at a church in Boerne and<br />
challenges the hearts of people to turn their hearts to the Lord and the<br />
down trodden.</p>
<p>December 14 – Pray for our planning to go to Guyana this coming summer and<br />
strengthen the church in that area led by John Persaud and Michael Williams.<br />
Steve Bond and Dean will be leading a large group of members from a church<br />
in the Maryland area.</p>
<p>December 15 – Pray also for a group of believers from Arizona and Maryland<br />
going to Nicaragua this summer.  These short term mission trips with larger<br />
numbers of believers are something new for us, and it is requiring a lot of<br />
planning and stretching.</p>
<p>December 16 – Pray for those applying to be missionaries with CrossWay<br />
International and their support needs.  We have some 3 to 4 individuals<br />
applying in the USA alone and another 3 or 4 foreign missionaries.</p>
<p>December 17 – Pray for Dean’s work load and travels as he hopes to cut back<br />
some and delegate some of his work to those joining the team. We have a<br />
great staff now that takes a huge load off of him, but he needs more help<br />
out in the field.</p>
<p>December 18 – Pray for Bob Nicol as he assumes more and more oversight of<br />
the water well ministry and develops his skill in evangelism.</p>
<p>December 19 – Pray for more opportunities for each one of us to share the<br />
gospel of God’s grace with those we come in contact with.</p>
<p>December 20 – Pray for Malcolm Harris in Liberia and his ministry.  He is<br />
one of our contacts and we hope to be more engaged with him and the outreach<br />
in Liberia.  Pray that we might be able to drill some water wells in Liberia<br />
soon.</p>
<p>December 21 – Pray for Rafa and Oscar in Nicaragua and the ministry we hope<br />
to strengthen and for the possibility of a closer working relationship with<br />
them.</p>
<p>December 22 – Pray for various medical needs in our clinics and for a good<br />
working relationship with those doctors in Ethiopia and Sudan.</p>
<p>December 23 – Pray for the many non-paid coworkers who care for the<br />
renovation, electrical and computing needs at CrossWay International. They<br />
play a huge role in their sacrificial giving and support to our ministry.</p>
<p>December 24 – Pray for Dean and Joan’s whole family as all four kids,<br />
spouses, and all 12 grandkids will be coming to their home for 10 days or<br />
so.  This will be 22 people at their home during the Christmas holidays!</p>
<p>December 25 – Pray for the unbelievers in your family, and that they may<br />
truly understand the meaning of Christmas and the free gift offered to each<br />
one who will put their trust in Christ alone.</p>
<p>December 26 – Pray for Dean as he moves to new software that is better for<br />
those with total blindness. He will be on a huge learning curve as he adapts<br />
to a number of new applications and electronic devices.</p>
<p>December 27 – Pray for a youth retreat that Dean will teach at in Arizona,<br />
led by Allen Mann.  Pray that the youth will respond to the gospel and<br />
teaching.</p>
<p>December 28 – Pray that each of us would be very clear in sharing the gospel<br />
of God’s grace and make clear that salvation is not by works or reforming<br />
our life but rather that it is an absolute free gift through faith in Christ<br />
alone.</p>
<p>December 29 – Pray for those who take the gospel into harm’s way.  Charles<br />
Kimolo, one of our coworkers coming back from the village where our orphans<br />
are in Sudan, was involved in a fire fight with gangs who attacked his bus<br />
and killed 3 people.</p>
<p>December 30 – Pray for the spreading of the gospel, that it would spread<br />
swiftly and be honored even as it is among us.</p>
<p>December 31 – Stop right now and pray for one or two people you have in your<br />
circle of contacts and pray for their salvation.</p>

November 2009<br />
<a href="http://www.gocrossway.org/" target="_blank">www.gocrossway.org</a></p>
<p>One quick note: Gold is up in price so if you have any gold jewelry laying<br />
around gathering dust, send it to us, and we can have it processed and<br />
exchanged for funds to help our orphans in Sudan.  Green Bull Jewelry in<br />
Boerne is our contact for this but mail it to:<br />
CrossWay International<br />
14 Fabra Oaks Road<br />
Boerne, TX 78006</p>
<p>November 1 &#8211; Pray for a new special project of Coffee Gift Baskets that we<br />
hope to make available for Thanksgiving and Christmas and special occasions.<br />
The proceeds will go to underwrite our ongoing challenges to feed the 549<br />
orphans near Darfur, Sudan, etc. (We hope to have something up on the<br />
internet soon at <a href="http://www.crosswaycoffee.org/" target="_blank">www.crosswaycoffee.org</a>.  For info on the orphans, go to<br />
<a href="http://www.crosswayorphans.org/" target="_blank">www.crosswayorphans.org</a>)</p>
<p>November 2 &#8211; Pray for an invitation for Dean to return to Pakistan again.<br />
He has received several invitations but needs more help with other areas of<br />
the world and is really stretched if he goes.</p>
<p>November 3 &#8211; Pray for 4 positions opening up with CrossWay International<br />
which will enable Dean to develop and maintain other areas for evangelism.<br />
The harvest is great but the laborers are few.  (Luke 10:2) And right now we<br />
have 3 very promising candidates.</p>
<p>November 4 &#8211; Pray for the staff at CrossWay International as we handle our<br />
very heavy seasonal workload (prayer letter, website updates, travel plans,<br />
etc.).</p>
<p>November 5 &#8211; Pray for Dean as he starts his mission trip to both Kenya and<br />
Tanzania.  He will be teaching at a pastor’s conference during this trip<br />
among a number of other things.</p>
<p>November 6 &#8211; Pray for Dean and Bob Nicol, that the Lord will protect them<br />
from mosquitoes and the dreaded malaria when they travel to Tanzania.</p>
<p>November 7 &#8211; Pray for Dean as he meets with several on the Board of<br />
Directors for our ministry in Sudan who live in Nairobi, Kenya.</p>
<p>November 8 &#8211; Pray for Dean as he preaches in a church in Kenya this morning<br />
and then heads off to Tanzania later that day.</p>
<p>November 9 &#8211; 13 &#8211; Pray for Dean as he starts his preaching at a Pastors<br />
Conference in Tanzania with Tony Swanson who is with African Inland Mission<br />
(AIM).  We will also be drilling a water well for this Christian community.<br />
Pray for Bob Nicol, too, who will be coming on Nov. 10 to help oversee this<br />
work and teach on hygiene.</p>
<p>November 14 Pray for Dean as he returns to Nairobi, Kenya from Tanzania.</p>
<p>November 15 &#8211; Pray for Dean again as he preaches in a church in Kenya.</p>
<p>November 16- If you happen to be awake at 12:25 AM, Dean starts his trip<br />
back home to the USA.  Of course, 12:25 AM in Kenya is 6:25 AM Eastern Time<br />
in the USA. So you better be up and working!</p>
<p>November 17 &#8211; Pray for Dean as he recovers from jet lag and gets back to<br />
work on a number of critical projects.</p>
<p>November 18 &#8211; Pray for our CrossWay Coffee Ministry and Sherry Zule, our<br />
manager over this work.  We continue to see growing interest and orders.<br />
All proceeds above the production costs go right now to the driving needs of<br />
the 549 orphans in Sudan.</p>
<p>November 19 &#8211; Pray for Robert Messier, our new General Manager, who is<br />
assisting Dean in many areas. One area for prayer is the lining up of short<br />
term mission trips to Ethiopia, Guyana, and Nicaragua this late<br />
spring/summer.</p>
<p>November 20 &#8211; Pray for greater boldness on all our parts to share the Gospel<br />
of God’s grace to those we come in contact with on a regular basis. Stop now<br />
and pray.</p>
<p>November 21 &#8211; Pray for Dean as he travels to Nebraska to challenge folks to<br />
help us with the care of the 549 orphans in Sudan near the Darfur region. We<br />
are still facing some real challenges, as we need more huts and the<br />
renovation of the large church hut where many of the orphans sleep.</p>
<p>November 22 &#8211; Pray for Dean as he speaks to several groups in Nebraska who<br />
have an interest in helping us with the 549 orphans in Sudan.</p>
<p>November 23 &#8211; Pray for Dean as he travels back to Texas from Nebraska, and<br />
that he might have many opportunities to share the gospel.  While you are at<br />
it, pray for your own opportunities to do the same.</p>
<p>November 24 &#8211;  - Pray for the clarity of the Gospel, that we as believers<br />
will communicate in basic street language that unbelievers can understand.</p>
<p>November 25 &#8211; Pray for Dean’s 4 children as they each struggle with typical<br />
young couple and children issues. Pray especially for our son who has the<br />
autistic child, as this puts tremendous pressure and financial costs on<br />
them.</p>
<p>November 26 &#8211; Pray for Dean and Joan’s oldest daughter, too, who is pregnant<br />
with twins.  She is expecting twin girls in December and already has two<br />
little girls (3 and 5 years old).</p>
<p>November 27 &#8211; Pray for their youngest son, too, who is a pilot instructor<br />
with the Air Force with all of its pressures.</p>
<p>November 28 &#8211; And while you are at it, pray for their youngest daughter who<br />
has 2 really small little ones and for the new business that her husband is<br />
starting.</p>
<p>November 29 &#8211; Pray for Dean and Robert Messier as they go to a church in the<br />
Boerne area to preach and present the work of our ministry.</p>
<p>November 30 &#8211; Pray for the spreading of the gospel, that it would spread<br />
swiftly and be honored even as it is among you.</p>
