Howard Prayer Update

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for continuing to stand with us in prayer and in praise of what God is doing!

We had asked you to pray for our son Jonathan regarding obtaining speech services. He was reevaluated, and we were told that he does not qualify for speech services. The specialist felt that he had improved considerably since his last evaluation in May and that the sounds he still lacks are developmental. His recent mastery of certain sounds is evident to us, and we praise God for this improvement. But we have had some mixed feelings about it too, since other professionals have recently advised us to seek speech services for Jonathan. We know that all of this is in God's hands. Thank you for praying with us about this.

We also asked you to pray for our finances. We praise God that we have two new individual partners and one new supporting church since we last wrote! We are thankful for how God is providing and continue to ask Him to allow us to return to Papua New Guinea in June.

Every week in October and November we have been able to share in various churches and are thankful for these opportunities. Pray that God would use us to challenge others to be obedient to God's call and to raise up others who He desires to serve in missions.

We praise God for good visits with friends, family and supporters! God has used all of you to greatly encourage us and we thank God for you all. We wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving.

With thankful hearts,
Susan & David and family
