Carl needs your prayers!
1) Carl is teaching a class
on “Christian Leadership Principles” this next Monday – Wed. evening (March 4 –
6). It is part of the Bible School
program here, but also open to anyone, especially members in both Reformed
Churches.
We feel that this is such a vital topic here, as both
churches need more leaders. Pray that
the Holy Spirit would work in Carl and all who attend. Pray God would raise up Latvian leaders.
2) In the light of this, we would ask you to pray for Carl’s
health. We don’t want to blame Satan for
everything, but it seems that often when we are preparing for something major,
something happens. Carl has been
struggling with health issues off and on for several weeks. (While we had the “Lost in the Middle
Conference” in January—Carl was sick those exact two weeks.) Now with this class coming up, Carl’s
flu-like symptoms have returned—zapping his strength. Pray that God would “deliver us from evil” and
would heal Carl. Pray that God would “renew
Carl’s strength.”
Carl went today (March 1st) to the doctor. Since from the initial exam, not much could
be told, a chest x-ray, blood and urine tests were ordered. Hopefully from the results of these we will
know more.
3) Carl's work in Kaunas, Lithuania has been greatly hampered due to his sickness. Twice he has not been able to go. The last time, he was completely ready and woke up unable to go (4 hour drive--one way). Pray, if it is God's will, Carl can resume his trips to Kaunas in March.
Thank you for praying!
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against
the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12
