"...clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:5-7
PRAISES
- Over 300 Kroger gift cards have been issued and shoppers have been benefiting MASTER Provisions by an average of over $600 per month, since May. We thank God for each person who shares with MP in this way. Others who desire to participate should contact Tom Pendergrass .
- Praise to God that five container projects for 5 different countries were completed in the two-week period from mid-October through early November. We ask your continued prayers for His protection as they travel to Honduras, Kosova, Niger, Ukraine and Zimbabwe.
PETITIONS
- Please pray for the exact people God wants on the medical team for Niger, 11-23 January, 2010. So far, we have 1 MD, 2 RNs and 3 helpers, including Roger and Dave from MP. There are spaces for 6 more people. Registrations must be received by 15 November. Supplies for this trip have been shipped. The container included everything needed to set up a portable medical clinic to work with nomadic tribal people in the Quallam, Niger region. The container also transported a pick-up truck for Kwambe's ministry, courtesy of Burlington Church of Christ.
- MP will provide a service opportunity for hundreds of teens at the National Missionary Convention in Peoria, IL 19-22 November. This great pack will occur on Saturday. Please pray that God will provide young people who will in turn be inspired to great service for His Kingdom. Everyone is invited to bring an extra outfit of clothing and pair of shoes to contribute to this event. We have special need for clothing that can be used in warm countries.
- We are thankful that one fourth of the goal [$12,000] for the EVADE campaign has been reached. The need is for $48,000 by December 31 for the following purposes: 1. Niger Medical Project 2. New clothing outreach to Ghana 3. Used box truck acquisition 4. Cost of trucking for the last 10 container projects of 2009 6. 12 months rent for our NKY warehouse May God be glorified as we reach these goals!
