Subject: Urgent prayer requests

Hi Paulman,
thanks so much for forwarding those emails!!! Hey, can you please forward
these to my lists via hotmail ASAP?  THanks.  THe same deal...
-------------------
Hey Y'all!! (yes, lots of Texan MKs here)

Short but indeed quite needed prayer items for this week.

-We are going into the 'bush' (village)  2-3 hrs away from Jos tommorrow
morning (Wed) and will spend the night and return THurs.  Because of the
curfew and not-too-safe night travelling alternatives, we have to spend the
night.	We are bringing medical/clinical supplies/care to this village and
sharing Christ's GOOD NEWS there.  My prayer request is that we'd be
effective ministers of the gospel AND that we will be safe during the night.

Safe from snake bites, scorpions, mosquitoes and other biting animals and
insects.  I am not kidding (I know I kid alot usually, but I"m not this
time, actually, I haven't really kidded all that much in my other emails
neither).  Anyway, we are sleeping on the dirt ground or maybe on a wooden
board, whatever we are offered when we get there.  (maybe I can whine my way

into sleeping in the van?).  So please pray for safe journey, safe night
(esp from snakes), and great outreach and people saved!! THANKS!!

-pray also please for the many in-fightiings in Nigeria that have erupted
throughout the country.  The ethnic tribal wars, and the recent
Muslim-Christian violence in Kano.  We will be going to Kano from Dec 5-9 to

observe the eye hospital there and also because our flight leaves there Dec.

9.  Kano is currently under curfew and the army is there to keep the peace.
Jos is doing great, although we are all still optomistically-cautious.

THanks so much!!!
love,
shermeen
