Praise & Prayer Update

Greetings, dear friends. We trust that you had a great Thanksgiving holiday and are now well into the Christmas season. We had a wonderful time with our OMS family eating way too much and watching lots of football--not much different than how we celebrate in the states.

Thank you for praying for my foot. I finally got my pin out on Monday. Today I started my first day of physical therapy (which was not fun at all). I have to go for ten days, then hopefully I will be walking again. Right now, my foot is just a big lump that doesn't serve for anything! Please continue to pray for me over the next nine days that my therapy will go well and that I will quickly become mobile again.

Darryl also is very thankful for your prayers over the last six weeks. We have had a constant flow of guests which Darryl has had to take care of pretty much on his own. Last week we had twenty-one guests in the house. The Lord provided Darryl with the energy to take care of all of the responsibilities, and he knows it is because of your prayers. Thank you!

This week is a busy one for me. The prison ministry team is planning the annual prison Christmas party for December 15th. There is only one veteran on the team. The rest of us are rookies, so we are all learning how everything works. We will be meeting here at the house this week to put together gift bags for each of the prisoners in our Bible study and having prayer time for each of the ladies. Please pray that as we plan this party the Lord will guide us in each step. Pray also that each of the prisoners will come to understand the real meaning of Christmas and learn to love the one, true Gift.

On Thursday I will be sharing my testimony with the women of the English Fellowship Church. It is the annual Christmas party and they have asked me to be the speaker. There will be several non-believers there who have been invited by friends or family. I would appreciate your prayers over the next couple of days as I prepare for this event. Pray that I will be sensitive to what the Lord wants me to share. I will be working with a translator for the first time so please pray for that as well.

On Friday I will selling the greeting cards made by the prisoners at a Christmas bazaar. Due to the situation with the economy, we have had to cut back on the production of cards and their pay as well. This has been difficult on the ladies as they have gone from making about $60 a week to $15 a week. Please pray that I will have success selling these cards and that the Lord will give us wisdom as we help these ladies work through dealing with the cut in their income.

We are so thankful for you and for your continued prayers on our behalf. We pray for God's richest blessings on each of you this week.

Serving the King,
Kelly, for the Chambers
