Feeling Overwhelmed X 2

I have been back in Jos for a week now.  I took Karenina to the airport yesterday.  It was so great to have her here. It's unbelievably special to me that she came here to see and experience my life here.  I will post more on her visit soon! 
While I was home I got to spend some time with lots of friends and family.  It was a great encouragement to me to find that people were interested to hear about Nigeria.  I was overwhelmed by the amount of support that I receive from everyone through prayer, words of encouragement, donating supplies, and money.  It was special to me that people are interested in Nigeria.  I think coming home helped me to realize how much I do love this place.  So I was overwhelmed, in a good way, by my time at home.
While I was at home I had the opportunity to share about the school that we are starting at one of our care centers.  We are starting a school in Gyero.  Gyero is in a village about 15 minutes out of Jos.  We house and feed over 100 kids at the care center.  They currently attend the goverment school, which is often on strike.  If you want to learn more about what we are doing, watch the video that I posted on my blog.  We are in great need of your prayers and financial support.
After being on vacation for a month, which I am extremely grateful for, I am realizing that we have MUCH to do before school begins in September.  We are currently painting the classrooms and trying to figure out issues like desks, storage, cirriculum, and teachers.  We also need to discuss discipline, class placement, schedules...the list goes on!
I am asking you to please be praying for our team over the next few weeks.  This is much bigger than us!
Please pray:
**for discernment and wisdom in all the decisions that need to be made.
**for the teachers...that God would prepare them and provide us with the resources to pay and train them.
**the children that will be attending the school...that we be wise about what is most important and meet their needs!

This video was made to give you a glimpse of one of our ministries in Jos.  The kids you see in the video live in a village called Gyero.  We will be starting an education center here in September. We are employing teachers for grades K-5.  We hope that this will provide some consistent and quality education for the boys and girls.  As a part of my support team, I would love for you to be involved in this project.  You can do this by praying, donating school supplies, or helping financially.  I will be returning to Jos on July 20.  If you would like to send money or supplies back with me, please let me know! Soon I will write more about specific areas of need.  We are in great need of your prayers.
