From 2/3/09

I just received another email from Renee Hord, our missionary, and I thought I would pass along the info to you all with a couple of prayer requests

The flyers for the retreat we will be holding are just about complete. Once these are finished, Renee will begin the process of registering ladies. We are so excited to see God do BIG things and we really have no idea how many to expect to register. Since the vast majority of people in Taiwan are lost, so will be the attendees of the retreat. We know that God is in control and know each and every lady that will be there. I just can’t wait to see who they are! The schedule for the week is also being developed right now, so be in prayer for that. Also, originally there was going to be a minimal charge for registration to cover the ladies’ lunches as well as the rent for the room and any supplies. After much prayer, Renee feels like that it needs to be free of charge otherwise many ladies might not to attend. We know that God will provide all that is needed though, and we are excited to see Him at work, so we are praying for God’s abundant provisions :)

Pray for the team from our church, the 4 ladies from Oklahoma who will be meeting up with us in Minneapolis, and for Renee and the others in Taiwan working on the retreat. We only have about 5 weeks till we leave…..we are excited but it feels like there is so much to do to prepare.
