Prayer Needs

Prayer Needs

We have had a lot come up lately that I feel burdened about and I believe I need to share with you as my friends and prayer warriors. I am not usually the one to share my exact needs with everyone but I am learning that it is good to do, so that people know specifics to pray for.  So, this time I am asking that you pray for each thing specifically with me. Prayer is powerful! 

1.       Baby Mukulu is due at the end of May (4 months away) and we need $800 to cover the cost of the hospital stay/medications. We are also in need of all baby items.
 

2.       Our rent is $200 a month.
 

3.       We are trying to come to the states for fundraising at the beginning of September for several months. Please pray for Ivan’s Visa to be accepted so he can get into the country. Pray he only has to apply 1 time and there are no issues! Pray that all of the baby’s paperwork/passport is taken care of with no issues.
 

4.       Ivan’s Visa will be $160 each time he applies. I have to change my Visa name for $120. Baby will have to be declared with the states as a US citizen plus have to get a Passport as soon as baby is born for $320. Then have to get a dependents visa pass for the baby for $100.

5.       Once we have the visas, the booking process begins with churches, schools, bible studies, and organizations to speak at. Plus host homes to stay with. Please pray that all goes well with the bookings!
 

6.       We need help with our plane tickets to get us to the states and back for the fundraising. We need approx. $2,500 for each of us. A total of $5,000. Baby is free! (:
 

7.       We need a good 4 wheel drive vehicle to get around the rough roads here.

8.       Need to find a new home to rent for Sonrise Children to house 40+ children before September. The home is maxed out right now with 30 children and by next January, we will have 10-12 more joining us. We need more room. With us hopefully being in the states at the beginning of September and not getting back until the beginning of January, we need to make sure we have a place for the children ready to move into before we go. Rent will be around $800 a month.
 

9.       Pray for each of our children at the home to be fully sponsored. Each sponsorship helps keep the home up and running. It also builds a relationship between you and your sponsored child!  You can see each of our children at http://sonrisechildren.com/sponsorchild/

10.   Pray for all of our teams coming this summer that God will use them while they are here for His Glory!
 

11.   Pray for us as we have a lot to prepare for and accomplish before September!  

Thank you for taking the time to read and pray about these items. I know God will provide!
