Pray for Siberia
I have been anticipating my return to Siberia to be able to revisit the widows. Today, I learned that the American dollar has dropped in value 50% and our friends who are the founders of Footprints ministry, has had to release three employees and are concerned that they will be unable to issue an invitation because of their financial stress. Please pray that God will make our way straight and be our provision to return this spring. There are 7 churches waiting as well as 2 new cities waiting for us to come.
The Good and the Bad
Yesterday was as good as it was bad.
Let's start with the good. At a breakfast meeting with some pastors, we learned that you must have a visa in order to enter Kenya now. Before we left Detroit, my husband said, "I think we should take our passports to Denver." And so we did! Praise the Lord, we were able to apply for the visas yesterday without missing a beat. God even provided a wonderful couple to help us with their private laptop and printer.
Praise #2-We found that our filming was not going to succeed unless we had more equipment. After calling a few places, God provided a Christian man who knew everything we needed for under $100. The owner of the business also offered to meet us on Sunday before we fly out to retrieve the equipment. Filming has been going very well, since we now have everything in place.
Now the bad, but there's a good ending. Around lunch time yesterday, I felt as though talons had taken a hold of my throat on either side of the adam's apple. The pain was excruciating and it was very difficult for me to communicate. I began to rebuke the enemy and praise the Lord. I really suffered with the pain and still feel bruised, but speaking is not difficult and I am praising God for His protection.
Please pray for us as we continue to film the documentary for Widow's Might Ministry and Prayer Stations for the Nations.

Ministry in Denver
God has brought us to Denver, CO where we are capturing the history of Widow's Might Ministry on film for a future documentary. So far so good! We also met some cool ladies at Panera who were very interested in the Widows Ministry. We prayed together and I was able to give them information about the brick building machine. We only need $17,000 and it will be ours for the widows center. Wally met with pastors today and came away very encouraged. He distributed information about the ministry and has been referred to the leader of women's ministry at Greenwood Community Church in the Denver area.

Building Bricks
October has really gone quickly with a trip to Cincinnati, OH, where we raised over $2000 for the brick building machine. Praise God for all of the ladies who came out for the banquet on Friday night and the congregation who were celebrating missions that weekend at Real Life Church. Leaving Cincinnati, Katie Beth and I traveled on to Anderson, Indiana where we filmed Ruth Shinness for the past couple of weeks. Over the years, I have modeled our prayer cards for the widows from Ruth's Prayer Strategy Resource Book. If any of you are interested in praying God's Word, I would suggest you look at Ruth's website. Next week we will be traveling back to Cincinnati to continue more filming. It's fun but tedious at the same time. I would like to thank all of you who are praying for this ministry. Next week we also have a meeting with two different ladies who are willing to host fundraising for the widows center. So far, God has brought in enough money for the well, the water tower and the wall. We are now working toward funds for the brick building machine. Please continue to pray that it comes in quickly!
