Pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to give me wisdom and guidance each day. 
India

I returned from Japan to help her. My Japanese visa is expiring and in order to get a new visa, I need to file my Japanese income taxes which are due March 15. On Monday, March 6, I will make a quick trip back to Japan to take care of tax and visa issues and will return to the US on March 14. Please pray that I have favor with the government officials I come into contact with and that I am able to get my new visa. Also pray for my mom, that she will have patience as she recovers. My brother will come to be with her while I am gone.   
Spain
  • Keren Delgado – Pray for the speaking engagement that I have this month, that the Lord will give me wisdom to speak His Word and to encourage others to partner with His Kingdom. Thank you for praying for “K” (she is the non-believer I met while fundraising); continue praying for her. Pray that the Holy Spirit may transform her view on Christianity and for her to be more open in our next conversation about faith. Pray for me as I raise funds and will soon start the process of visa application for Spain. Pray that the Lord will give me wisdom about the timing of the application. Thank you for praying.
  • Josh & Bethany (THP) – Thank you for praying for our health. We are all fever-free today for the first time in almost a month and we thank God! We also praise God that we have our residency cards in hand. They were approved for two years, after a process that began in July.  This coming week will be a very busy week for us; will you pray for us as we gear up for it? Next week we will submit all of our yearly paperwork to the government to renew our food program for another year. Pray that we can get all documentation in order and for favor and quick approval from the government. Also pray for our friends who are seeking. We so desire to see them join the family. Pray for wisdom and sensitivity to the Spirit as these conversations are happening.
