A few prayer requests.....

We have a few things we'd like to ask you to pray for tonight:

1) That the rain would hold off long enough for us to finish our fence project and do our visiting.

2) That we'll have a good turn out for Kids Club and there will be lots of opportunity to share Jesus' love with the children here

3) That Bethany, Bonnie, and Emily would have a safe trip "off island" with some of the school girls to get measured for uniforms

4) Linda is the cook here at the mission. Her son, Hardysito, is 4 years old and has been diagnosed with lymphoma. She has taken him to Tegucigalpa for a month of treatment. Olivia, a missionary from Roatan, has gone to try to help arrange medical care and transportation for them.

5) Pray for the church service that we will be hosting here at the mission tomorrow night for the islanders. There will be music and sharing.

5) That Barbara and Bonnie won't expire from exertion as we take a jungle hike up the mountain tomorrow morning at 6:15AM (we're taking a machete)

Everyone is doing well and we appreciate you praying for us. Tomorrow is a very full and important day. We appreciate your continued prayers.

Good night from the islands....Josh, Bonnie, and Barbara

Praying and Praying!!! Praying He'll stop the rain, bring children to the Kid's Club in abundance, provide a safe trip "off island", that He'll protect and uplift Linda and Hardysito, and provide you all with a wonderful blessed day tomorrow. His love is shining out in all of you and it is beautiful to witness! Thank you so much for sharing!
Love, Leslie

Bonnie and Barbara are true jungle girls. They won't have any problems. I bet one of them does a tarzan yell.

Elizabeth just loves the pics, and so do I. The "good morning" one made her flash her toothless smile saying look mama they are smiling at me:) She prayed tonight for the children to love Ms Bethany as she does.. So sweet to hear her lifting all of you up in prayer. Good night and thanks for all of the great posts so far. God is good!!

Saying an extra prayer that all your needs are met. Thanks for the update, and continue to have a positive impact on the folks there.

Be safe, and be sure sure to put on the sunblock once the rain stops.

A machete? My goodness the scorpions must be bigger than they look in the picture. I'll be praying for God to continue to watch over all of you and for all of your prayer needs to be met. I'll also pray the rest of you can keep up with Barbara and Bonnie. You are all making us proud here on the Outerbanks! Love, Tommy

I'll put my money on Bonnie doing the Tarzan yell before Barbara.

I'm still at Duke, but just got to peek in and watch Tricia walk up and down the hall in ICU!! Big huge smile on her face.

I was just checking in to see if a update was done. I think I am probably off on my time zone thing.
Anyway, I guess tomorrow is the big day. You guys be very safe, and we will continue to pray, and see you soon.

Also please break the news to Terry, that even though he is now considered a "world traveler" he does NOT get to drive the Harley!

Praying for you guys.
