Pray for someone to take over the ministry here in Austin. Most of my ministry is now by Zoom to returnees in China. More and more are "phasing out" as a result to governmental pressure. Please pray for Dotty; and I as we go through personal issues resulting in our having to "phase out" of the ministry.

Praise God for a great turnout for our first Home Goods Giveaway. A wonderful supporting church (bless them and their continued outreach to the students, Lord!) and lots of nice gifts (including homemade lap quilts) for the students. We grieve there were fewer students this year with all the political turmoil but pray for seeds of friendship and peace to grow from this event. May conversations lead to our Lord Jesus - the best and greatest of all gifts as I was reminded today.

Lord Jesus, in your tender mercy, you visited us from on high—the dayspring, the sunrise, and our bright morning star. Please help us share your light with our international friends who sit in darkness and death’s shadow. Guide our paths in your way of peace. (inspired from Luke 1:78-79).

Pray for Hari Priya, Vishal, Chenghan, Yun, and all the new students we shall meet this year for their salvation.

Help me to mentor them well.

That the visit of Rojin and her father to our home Nov 1-4 will be enjoyable, protected and fruitful. Lord, guide our conversations and activities.

Lord, we ask for the safe delivery for baby and our daughter and that this new life will be a blessing for the whole family for your glory!

(2/3) Pray for more local Christians to befriend students while they’re here. And especially for God to prepare and equip a new generation of ISI leaders for Monterey.

LORD, I pray that You would work in the hearts of all ISI volunteer partners everywhere that they would make this ministry a priority in their lives, as YOU lead them. Help them to see the urgency, the brief window that we have. Fill them with Your compassion so that they will commit to being available to the students, and even to the ministry meetings so that everyone can see the vision, plan & commit accordingly. We need passionate servants who are willing to make this a priority!
