Prayers Please

There has been a lot going on around here lately which is both good and bad. Good because that means rooms for growth and development but bad because in order to get there suffering and pain are a large part of the process. Jessica, Jacqueline’s sister, is still standing firm in her decision of wanting to come and live here on the property! This is an incredible opportunity for her however it’s not exactly an easy process. First there is the matters of the state and all the legal processes that entails but there is also the problem of while Pete and Jodi are incredible people who are going above and beyond what most people are capable of, they are not invincible and taking on more children would do more harm than good. On the flip side of this Jacqueline is staying with a single mom of 5 children who has multiple boyfriends and her own children running away from home frequently. We found out yesterday that Jacqueline is running around the streets at night and going to lots of parties… so needless to say she has not parted with her old ways. While the death of Marly, Jacqueline and Jessica’s mother, was an eye-opening experience for Jessica it didn’t have the same effect on Jacqueline. Some of you have been asking how you can pray for the girls and I asked Pete the same question and for now prayer for Jessica in terms of God allowing doors to be open for more people to join the A.M.O team to aid in the upbringing of her and more children like her, as well as financial support in terms of providing for their daily needs. For Jacqueline pray that God will some how get her attention and allow all the doors Satan has opened to be shut and more doors be opened so that she can change her life and gain a future.

Also, Pete received a phone call early this morning that Marcella (14), Karol (17), Filipe (19), and Diego’s(21) (these are all “kids” who live here on the property) uncle was in a bad motorcycle accident  two days ago and he passed away this morning,. So please be in prayer for their family, they have experienced a lot of loss.

And also selfishlessly I ask you to pray for Callie and I and the things God has and is revealing to us and the plans that he has for our futures! Thank you so much for everything you are doing! Love and miss you all : )
