"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful & effective." -James 5:16

-Please pray with us for the site/location that the Lord would desire us to be in for the art site. (The owners of our previous location notified us in the beginning of July that they wanted our location as our contract was up & they've in the last two weeks now turned our previous art school is now a ladies aerobics room.) Needless to say, there are a few leads, but the last outreach & now starting this outreach, our location is the back of my Suzuki Sidekick, the cemetary wall where we're painting, and the newly renovated city park where we eat lunch. There are limited locations, high rent, and up 'till now no financial supporters of the art school. May God open the right doors & show us so that we may continue on in the work in the community that we know He has us doing for specific purposes.
-Pray for the Dominican art students & the relationships that have been established as the site is in a time of transition.
-Pray that the Lord will continue to have His way in the lives of the students who will be with us from the States.
-Pray as it is hurricane season here literally & figuratively. Literally pray for the safety of those of us here on little pieces of land in the Caribbean, up till now we just go through spurts of heavy rain & wind. Figuratively as there are many storms that are hitting others lives who are dear to me & sometimes all you can do as a hurricane hits someone's family/community you can just try to be there to weather the storm with them & help pick up the pieces in between waves. No matter what level of tropical storm or hurrican hits around or directly in my life here, may God be the foundation & focus of life.
