Greetings from another busy week here in Tegus! On Monday we said goodbye to the group from Randolph Street Church in West Virginia and are now back on a more normal schedule. We always love the time spent with our summer visitors, but now we'll be pushing toward the end of the Honduran school year in October, and it's good to be back in classes full-time. This week, we ask you to join us in praying for:
* Michael
We were able to convince Michael to take some time away to decompress after a long summer, and we are now attempting to fill his shoes for this week. Pray that he will have time to reflect and recharge, and that the rest of us will survive his absence!
* Miguelito
This young man has grown so much since coming into Micah in March. Even the loss of his mother to cancer two months ago didn't send him back to the streets. Still, he has his moments of struggle and he is walking through the natural grieving process. Please be praying particularly that he will be motivated and cooperative in his classes every morning as he is quickly learning to read and write, and that he will sleep better at night, as these seem to be two battles for him right now.
* Wisdom and Compassion
Life at Micah is a whirlwind of young men laughing, living, struggling, and growing up together. In the midst of so much craziness (although most of it is pretty funny and enjoyable), it can be easy to slip into a routine instead of striving to be Christ to all people. Please pray for the Micah staff so that we can continue to love well in the midst of all that happens here. Please also pray for our guys that they can continue to grow and show Christ's love to each other.
* And, of course, let us PRAISE!!
- For the lives of each of these young men. The Lord has lovingly brought each one of them to the Micah Project for a reason. Let us praise Him for moving and working so wondrously!!
- For the continuing impact of each of Micah's ministries. Ten years after a single house opened its doors to a handful of young men, Micah has two homes, a street ministry, a Micah moms group, a thriving group of college students and graduates, and a technical school! Praise the Lord for working so mightily!!!
- For the continued financial support of our donors -- none of this could happen without their partnership with us in this ministry. Praise God for raising up so many faithful people to support us!
The road forward for each of these guys is long and has many hills and valleys. Still, the Lord has continually shown Himself faithful. His mercy has sustained us, and He has taken street children and grown them into inspiring God-loving young men. As we move through the coming week, let us not cease to praise Him for all of these things!!
Peace,
David Hawthorne (on behalf of the entire Micah Project
