We have budgeted $5000 to buy the tools needed for building Tabernacles in Guinea. Please pray that this comes in QUICKLY so that we can start purchasing everything. We have a ministry container headed to Guinea this summer but everything needs to be bought and on that container by the end of May!!!

We started preliminary work on our church building project. Please pray that we will get all the necessary approvals so when our teams get here in May we can continue to advance. Also, pray that the funds would be provided to finish this project.

I ask for your prayers so I can complete the budget and that the 34 churches I still have to visit make a monthly commitment of $100 each. I ask for your prayers for protection as I drive to different churches for many hours. Please pray for strength from heaven and the strength to persevere and continue the church tour. Thank you.
