We wanted to share with you all a few prayer requests now that our time for leaving for Africa is imminent.\u00a0 Thank you for so faithfully praying for our family.
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pray that we will have a peace about what to do about malaria.\u00a0 The preventative medications are extremely expensive and the less expensive ones have many side effects.\u00a0 We are praying about taking no preventative medications and only treating if one of us contracts malaria.<\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

  2. Pray for our housing situation.\u00a0 We still do not have a house to live in and were told today that a 3-4 bedroom house (we are willing to go smaller) could cost us as much as $1750 US dollars a month.\u00a0 We were budgeting for no more that $1000.<\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

  3. Pray for Dave as he is wrapping up work and home responsibilities this month.\u00a0 He has a lot to accomplish and would appreciate your prayers.<\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

  4. A huge praise is that we met with Dustin and Kristen tonight.\u00a0 They are going to be living in our home while we are gone.\u00a0 They love the Lord and have a heart for missions.\u00a0 They will be married on May 21.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Love in Christ,<\/p>\n
