Prayer Requests:
*Please pray for wisdom as we all decide what areas to focus our ministry time. Some options include working with refugees, international students, after school tutoring programs, English classes, internet cafe, and international families.
*Pray for unity of our group and that the Lord would keep our focus on him without any distractions.
*Ask the Lord to provide good relationships with our neighbors and other people we meet so that the gospel may be spread even in the short 5 months we are here.
*One special prayer request, on Sunday there was a fire in one of the apartment buildings in our complex. Eight families' homes were destroyed, and they lost everything. Pray for the families, that they would turn to Christ through these trials. We have gathered some donations and are looking for more ways to help.
Praises:
*The Lord protected all of us while traveling to Atlanta.
*Everyone is settling in quickly and a blanket of openness and honesty is already within our classroom.
*Christ arranged a positive chance to meet our neighbors by bringing them plates of cookies yesterday.
Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement this week!

I think it's great how God gives you an opportunity to work with the local "refugees" (from the apartments) in preparing for the possible working with refugees in Thailand. I will pray that God will be showering you with wisdom at all times.
