Prayer Requests: June 5

Hello dear friends and family of the Micah Project! Please join us this week in lifting up the following things to our Heavenly Father:

-Mama Jo's Bakery recently signed a contract with Espresso Americano, a Starbucks type coffee shop here in Honduras.  Beginning in July they will be selling several of their products to many of the branches here in the city! They also received an order from another coffee shop, The Coffee Cup, for their cinnamon rolls.  Praise the Lord that business is booming and that they were able to get contracts with the major coffee shops.  May everything continue to operate smoothly without the direction of Natasha, as she is heading back to the states this week.  May the women step up and accomplish what they need to.

-This week we are starting some new changes in our weekly schedule.  On Mondays the boys will be going out to Micah 2.0 and working on whatever needs to be done, a great way to get them moving and to make them feel part of the process of building Micah 2.0.  The boys will also have "elective" classes twice a week where they can choose an activity that interests them (guitar, English, art, cooking, just to name a few) and develop their skills in that area.  Pray that they boys will adapt well to these changes and may they enjoy learning a new skill that could benefit them in the future.

-As we wrote last week, Pedro Luis finally received his passport. However due to complications at the bank and Embassy we have still not be able to get a visa appointment for him.   We are working with the embassy in order to hopefully get him an appointment for this week.  We know that the process is in the Lord's hands and all we can do is trust in Him and His plans.  May Pedro experience God's peace whatever the outcome may be.

-This past Sunday night we had a "family meeting" during which we expressed our concern for the boys attitudes and behaviors and challenged them to really live out the Micah goal of "forming Christian leaders in Honduras."  It was a powerful time of confession and reflection.  Our prayer is that the boys may realize the consequences of their words and actions and begin to make changes in their attitudes and daily lives that reflect their lives in Christ.  Pray for guidance, wisdom, and courage for the boys.

We thank you for fighting the good fight with us and for praying for the boys, the staff, and the ministry.  We couldn't do it without people like you supporting and encouraging us. Gracias!
Grace and Peace.
