Prayer Update August 30, 2010

Thanks so much for praying for us and our ministry here in Lima.  Here are a few things already posted over at our website: www.mclambfamily.net.  Thanks!!

Please join us in praying for Mountainview Baptist Church in Utah.  I met with some of their leadership last night (via Skype) about the possibility of their coming and partnering with REAPSouth here in Lima.  Also, join us in celebrating new REAPSouth partners, Eastland Baptist Church (Eastland, TX).  They are working in Santa Rosa- a rapidly growing, impoverished community in the Northern Cone of Lima.  You may remember the video of their pastor performing a baptism in the Pacific Ocean from a couple of months ago.  You can view the baptism video by clicking the photos and videos page.

8.24.10 update

We are beginning to finish up our work here in Lima and beginning the process of getting ready for Stateside assignment as well as our transfer to the next place where we will serve (this is still not completely determined) though we are in the matching process for a job among the Zapotec of Southern Mexico.  We are eager and excited but continue to look for God’s final confirmation that will come from IMB leaders (and medical personnel).  Here are a few things you can pray for us this week:

• Pray for Hope’s continued good health and development.  She has not had a seizure since June 20 (when she began medication).  We have an appointment with a pediatric neurologist in Cary, NC the week after we get to the States.
• Pray for the Bible study at Flor’s house.  We have been teaching with them for a couple of months and their background knowledge is now to the point where they can see some of the distinctives between biblical Christianity and their current belief system (a very mixed set of beliefs).  Pray for the final weeks of our study with them and the continued work that Union Grove (the REAP partner area in their community) will do with them.  It is our hope that each person studying with us will confess Christ as Lord and Savior… and that they will be properly discipled and a church will begin!
• Pray for our packing, selling, and crating.  There is MUCH to do to get ready.
• Pray for the transition our family will experience over the next few months.  Our children will leave Lima, live the whirlwind of 4 months in the States (including LOTS of fun with G-parents, visiting lots of churches, traveling), and then to a new country (IF it is Mexico, we have been told we cannot move into our new community until we have gotten permission to live with them from community leaders- a distinctive of some indigenous communities).  All this means, lots of transition.  Pray that the kids, as well as Mama and Daddy, will be led by God through the transition.

Pray that Stateside will be a great time of ministry amongst churches and LOTS of wonderful memories are made with family and friends!
