September 2013 prayer & ministry needs update

Praise

• God has provided encouragement & vision to carry us through our toughest challenges.

• His provision of work for Rebecca in the states, meeting several needs: both for resources & her skills preparation for advanced midwifery training.

• Apparent Project/Papillion Enterprises has new orders flowing for artisan items...more orders, more jobs, more kids being raised by their own parents!

• Ted, Tynan & Emma have been happy for a few “cooling” rain storms recently.

• Rebecca received a substantial grant towards starting Midwifery School

• God’s goodness surrounds us & brought defeat to spiritual warfare this past month.

Prayer

• Ted, Tynan & Emma as they prepare to travel and some TRUE refreshment in the states.

• Continued guidance & direction as we develop and lay groundwork on long term projects

• Provision of resources for both the next Haitian business & the birthing center start ups.

• Against further spiritual warfare as we move forward on large impactful projects.

• Decisions about next year’s housing and/or maintenance needs

• ALWAYS ongoing language learning...until we can speak at a heart level.

• Tania Grace as she prepares to move to California this month & start CNA school.

• All of our kids as they seek direction in their schooling & futures.

Needs

• Financial Support (monthly or one time gifts):

  We are still in crucial need of dedicated monthly funds going into 2014 in order for Rebecca to be able to remain in Haiti full-time or all of us for that matter! 

  We will not be able to roll out the new business or birthing center ministries early next year without the stability of our presence confirmed. 

  Please contact us (tenmilliontoes@gmail.com) with any monthly support start up or changes, so that we can notify Apparent Project how to direct your funds. For one time giving or checks, place “Barlow family” in the comments area.
