Dear Ministry Partners,

Thank you for your prayers concerning my sore throat, it's so very much better.

Today was the first day of the Pastors Training at the 1930 City Prison and the first day of the Woman's two day conference.
Pastor Roger and Jon say "things" were so very different from the Rilima training and I will say no more !!!!

Pastor Dorothea, Tanya and I had a good day with the women but once again we observed the sheer desperation the prisoners have for a Bible. The need is almost overwhelming.

Current prayer request......
The IRM Operations Supervisor Alfred has been so very busy keeping everything coordinated and translating for me during the crusades. He has caught my sore throat and violent coughing. Please pray for him.

Also pray for this wonderful team of "first timers". They are having to process so many new things and at half way through our time here the busy schedule, heat & humidity along with some fatigue is beginning to set in.

I am so thankful for this team as we all learn from every event and situation so that we will be able to prepare for the 2011 trip.

Thanks for your continued prayers for everything INCLUDING the internet service.

Arlene
for the team
