Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you for praying for the work and people here!!!!  Sarah has a job now that she said earlier in the week she likes.  She does non-emergency medical transport.  Her hours really vary but she enjoys traveling to various places and having the opportunity to help people.  She is entertaining the idea this is a new ministry God is giving her. : )  She is behind on some bills so please pray for creditors to have grace. : )

Tosh, "Alv's" friend who prayed to receive the Lord last month here in my home, spent the following weekend with me as "Alv's" family had to be away.  Saturday Jan. 30th she was with me for an all day AIMI staff meeting in Gallup!!!  Sunday after church in my home we spent the entire afternoon talking.  She still had some confusion about any differences between traditional beliefs and Christianity so we looked at Romans 1 and compared what is said there to some of traditional beliefs.  She saw it for herself.  This doesn't mean that will be the end of the pull toward traditional beliefs especially since it runs in the family!!!  Before coming to the Lord Tosh had a big history of sexual involvement so she heard what the Lord says about that and related issues.  She has a real need for healing from victimization and what it often does to a person.  Tosh has gone to be with extended family and I have no way of contacting her, but we can still have an impact through prayer.  During an earlier visit with “Alv” Tosh got her first experience playing with horses. : )  She really enjoyed the experience.  J

We continue to meet as a home fellowship for church Sunday mornings and we are still small.  There is a husband and wife from back east praying about coming here to Sanders to help with starting a church.  They are Evangelical Free and the  husband has been pastoring churches for 20 years.  They are also teachers and are looking to take on teaching jobs here.  They have a seven year old son who they need to consider so they are in need of much prayer.  Last I heard they are planning to visit in March.

Julia is the single gal who is trying to raise support to come and help with youth work here.  She has done counseling and used horses to help youth to open up.  She is planning to visit in April, Lord willing.  I would love to have help and have a team atmosphere, I need it to be honest.

"A" and "Clar" have moved back to Sanders.  "Clar" has asked to have Bible study with me on Monday evenings to start this coming Monday.  I have ordered "Marriage on the Rock" from Marriage Today to use with "Clar."  "A" is still drinking on occasions and has been engaging in activity that can end up destroying the marriage if he continues.  He has not been to church since October.  He was discouraged from meeting with me and "Clar" for Bible study back in the early fall by a coworker who said he would start having Bible study with him, but never did.  Thank you for continuing to pray for them!!!

Thank you soooooo much for your prayerful support!!!!  Some of you are able to give more from time to time, some of you would love to give but cannot.  God knows and I appreciate you all!!!!  For those of you who do give I do my best to express my gratitude but honestly it never seems enough especially when I'm always chasing my tail to do correspondence work.  Your reward is eternal and may God greatly encourage you for your obedience to His leading!!!!  If any of you would like to send a gift for my support make your gift out to American Indian Missions, Inc. and include a note saying it is for # 725 then mail to the mission's address below.  If you would like to help Julia do the same as above except put on note "for Julia."

1.  Family from back east praying about coming to help her in Sanders;

2.  Julia's support raising;

3.  "A" to seek the Lord and "Clar" to be able to come for Bible study;

4.  Wisdom for me in everything I do and to know what priorities to have each day with efficiency daily;

5.  AIMI is in real need of an office!!!!
