Prayer Requests: August 9

Good morning dear friends and family of the Micah Project!  This past week has been a very busy one for us here at Micah.  Lots of people coming and going.  We take a few moments to share with you our prayer requests for the week:

*This past Sunday night Joel, the seminary student from Georgia who has been with us for a few weeks, spoke on the topic of community.  It was a good reminder for all of the boys and staff that we are all in this together, we can't survive without a community of people around us supporting us.  These past few weeks there have been lots of fights, disrespect, and bad attitudes in our community.  Please pray for stability in the house and that one of the boys will step up and be a leader for the rest of the boys to follow.

*Davidcito got frustrated and mad last night and took off.  We aren't exactly sure what set him off and several people tried to talk to him but he wanted nothing to do with them.  Please pray that he may realize that this one decision to go back to the streets could affect the rest of his life.  Pray that he may humble himself and come back home.

*Continue to keep the Wiggs family in your prayers.  Brian headed back to Oregon yesterday to be with his family. Pray that God may provide direction, peace, and healing for their family as they work thru their issues.

*Here at Micah birthdays are a big deal.  This week we are celebrating three birthdays- Joel Rivera (17), Marvincito (17), and Axel Lopez (15)! We praise God that He is faithful, that He working in and transforming these boys lives.  He has done incredible things in their lives thus far. We pray for another year of growth and life for all of them. Happy birthday Joel, Marvin, and Axel!

*Visitors! Yesterday Michael's parents, David and Linda Miller, came to Honduras to visit for a few days.  Today Hannah and Jonathan Rogers are coming to visit as well.  We are thankful for their visits and pray that they will have a great time with us.


*Erika Cruz, the older sister of Erik and Cristofer, finally gave birth to an adorable little baby boy Sunday evening (he doesn't have a name yet)!  These past few weeks have been challenging for her, as she was due late July and was passed around from place to place to stay.  We praise God for this new life  and that mom and baby are doing well.

Amidst all the chaos and uncertainty of the world, we are thankful that we have a God who is in control.  As Psalm 28: 7 says "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped." Thank you for your continued support, prayers, and encouragement.
Peace.
