PRAYER REQUESTS:
1. For the Kuntz and their families as they will be away for 4 years.
2. That they would be able to bond with the people and build friendships with them very quickly.
3. That they would have positive attitudes as they learn a new language and culture.
4. That during this time of adjustment and weariness that their marriage would continue to remain strong.
NEW SECURE EMAILS: HAWKER49@PSMAIL.NET & SMACKS@PSMAIL.NET. Email them if you want to be added to their monthly prayer newsletter list & also email from time to time to encourage them as they serve. NEVER FORWARD an email or newsletter from them. It will break the security & put them at risk.
