We need prayer! It seems as though everyone is catching the "bug!" Staff and students alike. I am one of the fortunate ones not to have caught it yet; though my wife is sick now so I am sure it is only a matter of time.
Coming up very soon is Spring Leave. The boys will be sent home for eight to ten days depending on their standing here at the ranch. It is a time for mom and dad and us as well to get a good understanding of how much of the boys growth is real and how much is being in a different environment. The same can be said of the parents.
I would ask that you pray for safe travel as some of the boys have to travel some distance. Also, that when temptation comes they will be able to be strong, and would remember the truths that they have all been taught.
Pray too, for the staff as this is mostly a relaxing time, but we do have a little bit of house keeping to take care of, as well as some staff training. It is never an easy thing to do, teach or be taught in a non-denominational, para-church group, some theology differences as well as some personality differences sometimes cause strife, so please cover us all in prayer on Saturday the 29th.
Also on a more personal note, the pastor at the community church here in the Nile Valley is leaving after many, many years. It is the church that the majority of the ranch staff attend and it is with much longing that we see he and his wife depart. They are beginning a new ministry planting churches in Alaska. Pray for the transition of the new pastor who begins the week after Easter.
Thank you all so much for your support financially and prayfully for my family and our ministry here at the Flying H!
Yours to count on,
Chris
