Dear Prayer Partner,

    Work Permit-We went earlier this week to check on the status of our work permit.   We were told it had not been processed and that we should come back next month.

    Web Site-Have you ever gone to the sink to get water and there was no water.  You were probably very frustrated.  Imagine having to walk 2 to 10 miles to get your water and then having to carry it back home.  Or imagine dipping your drinking water from a muddy water hole. Please check out the "Desperate for Water" page. www.byhisgrace.cc/flemingfamily/water.html

    Our Current Ministry-While we are waiting for our work permit to be approved we are active in a church near where we live.  Alan and Abbey have been involved with the worship team for this church.  We had a meeting at our house this week and some unexpected things happened.  Check out this week's story at www.byhisgrace.cc/flemingfamily/stories.html

    A Family in Need-Nancy is a 16 year old girl who goes to church with us.  Her mother has recently lost her job picking tea leaves, due to illness.  She has been told to vacate company housing.  Sometimes this family goes to bed without having eaten that day.  Nancy attends our church, but she and her family are not saved.  Please pray for God's provision for their housing, food and their salvation.

    THANK YOU for your Prayer Support-Your prayers are the most important support we receive.

    Financial Support-We also need financial support in order to provide the basic needs of our family and also for our ministry.  Please pray about whether or not God is asking you to financially support our ministry to the Borana people.  You can find information about what our needs are at http://www.byhisgrace.cc/flemingfamily/donations.html
