Current Prayer Requests for the the Black Family (updated October 2009)

• Pray for direction as we speak with the YWAM leaders concerning our long-term role with YWAM Nigeria. 
• Pray for a successful start with 5 new schools starting at the YWAM campus in the next few months (DTS, SBS, School of Worship, School of Digital Film-Making, and School of Communication).  Cindy and Eric will be helping out with some of these.
• Pray that we get settled and comfortable in our temporary home while we wait for the new construction to complete.  And pray that the new site will be ready soon.
• Pray for Cindy and the children as they attempt to homeschool in somewhat cramped quarters.  They got a little bit behind during LTC, since we weren't settled and Eric was very busy.  Things should hopefully get back more to normal.
• Pray for Cindy and the new baby. While everything turned out fine for Caleb's birth, we are exploring ways to make the experience more comfortable for Cindy this time around.  
• We are also still praying for another full-time missionary or missionary family to come alongside us for the work in Nigeria.

>>> Against all Hope:  Hope for Africa(pdf 679kb)

This 60-page booklet examines the situation in Africa today from the vantage point of a distinctively biblical worldview and argues that true hope for transformation lies with the rapidly expanding African Church practicing a wholistic ministry and taking biblical truth boldly into every sphere of society.

This booklet was produced by the Disciple Nations Alliance in cooperation with Samaritan Strategy Africa, a team of African leaders who have banded together to execute an ambitious plan to take the DNA teaching across the continent.

The DNA is a cooperative ministry of Harvest and Food for the Hungry.
