Praises:
-Baby Richard (the baby we helped deliver) is healthy and at home! We attended a prayer service over him yesterday!
-Bible studies are going well with the Nepalese group, and Karenni girls group. We have one boy in the Nepalese group, and one girl in the Karenni group that we are working with and training. They are going to try leading this week's Bible studies, and both have expressed that they would be interested in leading those when we leave.
-God has been teaching our team a lot and shaping us through the group meetings we are having.
- During VBS at Southside, there were 6 children that accepted Christ into their hearts.
-We made it through community: serve week, coming out of it seeing how amazing God's works are when we are willing and how He takes unworthy people like you and me to further His kingdom.

Prayer Requests:
-Perseverance for the team to finish strong as we complete our mission. Pray for God to keep us strong spiritually, and be spirit led in all we do.-Guidance in how to wrap things up, and leave the people here in good standing to continue studying the word, and in turn be on mission themselves.
-Leaders from the Nepalese and Karenni people groups that can disciple others.
-People who are already leaders in these groups to be encouraged, and that God would equip them to continue serving.
-Maw Reh, a 24 year old Karenni man is planning on attending Seminary in hopes of becoming a missionary, and is currently working on getting his GED. Pray that he would overcome the language barrier and be able to accomplish the goals God has for him.
-Sickness in our team. Jillian was very sick this week with food poisoning. I was hospitalized yesterday with an intense bleeding spell after rupturing a cyst. We are both feeling much better, but please pray God would hold us together physically during our remaining time here.
-We have a new Nepalese family, and a new Karenni family coming to America this week! Pray that we would overcome language barriers and be able to love on them and share the word of God with them. Pray that they would not be afraid but feel welcomed and safe.
-That we will get something out of our time here and we will rest in the fact that God placed us in Winston-Salem for a specific purpose. Pray that we will not look back on this summer with feelings that we could have done more, but that we finish saying, "God showed up." and that we will look back saying we gave it our all.
