Early 2004

 

Dear praying friends of Mercy Ministries,

Here are some ways you can pray with us during February and March:

 Child Development Centers ( Philippines )

  • As the children learn Bible stories and songs, pray for understanding of the simple gospel message and the joy of receiving Jesus.
  • Pray for parents to see Jesus in their children and for open hearts to receive Him.

Project Loving Arms ( Romania )

  • Spiritual battles have been fierce among the children at the Popesti orphanage. Pray for protection for the children. Pray for repentance and humility to seek forgiveness for their hurtful behavior. Pray for assurance of God’s love and faithfulness to them.
  • Pray for wisdom and patience for the volunteers who faithfully minister to the children. Pray also for the FCE staff and workers who face difficult challenges.
  • The retreat Feb 6-8 was a special time for strengthening the Loving Arms team and preparing us for cross cultural ministry with the children of Popesti. Pray for us as we continue to meet biweekly to prepare for the camp in June.   
  • Recently, a baby at Casa Alba died suddenly. Pray for the caregivers, the other children, and all who are involved in the care of these little ones.

 Ministry in Denver

  • Pray for the children who attend NeighborServe clubs on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Pray for James and Susan who lead the clubs.
  • Pray for the Mercy Ministries Board as they meet February 28.
  • Pray for us as we seek to be more efficient administratively and more effective in ministry to needy children.

 Thank you, friends, for your faithful prayer and financial support. We are grateful for your partnership. God is our joy and hope!

 Fred Dewey, for the entire Mercy Ministries team
