Prayer Requests

I have been periodically asked if we have prayer requests and I am often shy about asking for specific items because they often seem to concern Jane and I. But there is one that I am going to ask everyone to please pray for continually until it’s been answered one way or another.

We have been working in a village called Los Algodonas; it is one of the poorest villages that I have ever seen. Over the past few months with the government’s permission, we have managed to get clean running water into this village which has never ever had running water. We have also been given permission to build a church, school and medical clinic here. The school has been started and soon will the church and medical center but we have not received permission to build homes there because the land is deemed “Tourism Land”. When land is deemed “Tourism Land”, homes cannot be built on it without the government changing the land status, much like North America. Please continually pray that we will be allowed to build homes on this land for the 200 families who currently live there.
