Please pray
1. With the continued devaluation of the Canadian dollar funding will have to remain strong during upcoming months when normally it slows down.
2. I hope to do a fundraising tour in the U.S. in May. We need the Lord to set it all up as to where I could go. We are presently in the very beginning of planning.
3. May our high school and post high school students be constantly motivated to study hard and not skip Classes. May their teachers be committed to helping them succeed.
4. May everyone at all Places of Rescue have a good attitude of respect and submission to those over them.
5. Pray for Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife, Her Excellency Bun Rany. May they seek the blessing and favour of Jesus. May they have His wisdom in the important decisions they make.
6. May their contacts with Place of Rescue continue to be on their minds and in their hearts and may they clearly understand why this place is what it is.
7. Our expatriate English teachers are a valuable asset. May they adjust easily to living here. Two new young women will be coming from Canada mid January to stay for three months.
We are raising rabbits for food. The newborn babies almost all die. Pray we might find our why.
