Urgent Prayer Request

Dear Prayer Partners,

On Saturday one of our ABC professors, Gene Horst was cleaning his chimney and fell from the roof.  He sustained a fractured skull, 2 broken vertebrae in his neck and other facial fractures.  He was medivac'd by plane and is currently in ICU in Anchorage.  He is in serious condition and, along with his wife Pam and son Tim, could use your fervent prayers.  Pray that pneumonia will not set in, infection will be stayed, wisdom for the Doctors, peace and grace for Pam and Tim (this family has had a tough year medically).  Praises that there is a good support system around them from Glennallen and SEND and the students at ABC have responded with concern and desire to support them.

In AK by Grace Alone, Bob and Jane

February 2010

As we continue to learn more and more about trusting God with all of the details of our lives, we wanted to share the following items with you as you support us through your prayers:

Praises:

• Thank God for overseeing all of the miles traveled by us and the Alaska Bible College family throughout the last two months. The total number of miles traveled is staggering!
• Praise God for how He has worked in Daniel’s world at Messiah College during the fall semester; Daniel was also able to connect with his high school friends during his short time back in Alaska.
• Thank God for the time we shared with Daniel and Nate (Granja – from our home church) during the two weeks we had with them while they were on their Christmas breaks!
• Thank the Lord for how He is directing brain recovery in Jane as she continues to see her world expand as He (figuratively speaking) pulls back more and more of the curtain to reveal much of what is on the stage. Emotionally, she is advancing through middle-school years which is a bit tumultuous; cognitively, she is also continuing to progress.
• Praise God for placing Bob right where he is needed most – about 200 yards away from our house – as he interacts with ABC students at critical times in their lives.
• Thank the Lord for moments of joy that He provides!

Prayer Requests

• Ask the Lord to provide amazing comfort and grace for the ABC students impacted by the sudden, unexpected death of two very close friends who were murdered while ministering; ask Him also to work among the many others impacted by such a painful loss.
• Continue to ask God to work MIGHTILY through our weaknesses as we abide in Christ and thus bear fruit for the Kingdom.
• Ask God to continue to heal and wake up brain cells so Jane’s chronic pain decreases.
• Pray for the college students who are working on their SMT (student ministry training) programs; ask God to develop hearts for ministry in them as they learn skills while closely supervised.
• Continue to ask God to help us come along side people who battle patterns of alcohol abuse and suicide; join us as we pray that they will makes choices that will allow them to pursue deep relationships with Christ.

Once again, we are greatly humbled by your prayers. If you haven’t sent us a recent photo (you know who you are!), PLEASE send us one for our flip chart so we can see you as we pray for YOU!
