Prayer Request

Dear Praying Friends,

Adam and I would like to ask your fervent prayer for 2 things.

First, we would like to ask prayer for the father of Nicki Coleman, our co-worker here in Akolet land.  Last week he fell off a roof in Canada and sustained some serious head injuries.  After several days of being unable to speak and not recognizing his family, the doctors are now saying they do expect a complete recovery.  They just don't know how long that recovery might take.  Ryan and Nicki are planning to go home to Canada to be with her family and at the same time get some overdue medical work done for their son Joseph.  They expect they will be gone at least 5 months.  So we ask prayer for them during their travels and time at home, and also for Nicki's Dad's full recovery.

Secondly, we would ask you to join with us in prayer as Adam and I will be alone in the bush for the next several months. Â Many missionaries are alone in the bush without co-workers for years at a time, and we know that the Lord will sustain us too. Â But we have to be honest and say that because of the unexpected nature of these circumstances, we're feeling a little shocked about suddenly being alone for this length of time. Â Please pray for the Lord's strength and endurance in us during these next several months.

We appreciate your prayers!
