Greetings Intercessors

I'm just sitting here today Praising the name of Jesus. Yesterday we had the wonderful gift of Melody Baker, house-mom, at our staff meeting. You have been praying for her and she is doing so much better. She does not have all of her strength back yet, but she is almost there.
Several of the kids have been sick, but they seem to be all better.
It is a bit cool today but the sun is shinning bright and God is, as always, fathering us with a good hand! Guess what tomorrow Karen and I will have been married for 20 years. So say a special prayer for her. I mean she did put up with me for that long. She should have some kind of a reward.
We are definately taking the girls to Colorado this year. So begin to pray for that trip as well as praying for the boys trip. Pray that the hearts of all the young people will be tuned toward their Heavenly Father for the trip. Pray that we will have insight into each of their needs as we plan these trips.
The McNeals, house-parents, had to travel to Illinois for the funeral of a family member.
We are talking to a potential house-parent couple from Pennslyvania. Please be in prayer for the Moyer family and for our GYR staff during this interview process.
We are currently on the edge of developing another ministry within Glenhaven. As you may or may not know we have had young men and young women serve here as resident instructors. They provide an extra set of eyes and ears for the house. They provide ENERGY for the house. We have lived without this in our boys homes for a number of years now, even though we need them. In order to recruit new people for that role we need to develop a program where we provide spiritual mentoring as well as teaching them to help hurting people heal. a program where we teach the next generation what we do and we ensure that they are equiped, spiritually, to do it.


So it is vital that we drown this process in prayer. I am convinced that God would have us do this. We need prayer support as this thing develops. Pray for our wisdom and our insight into the needs of the young people that we will be ministering to.

Holding on to Jesus
Dwayne
