Have Cake Will Travel
Mike and Cindy Helvie took over our member care responsibilities in South Asia in 2020. Mike and I still meet a couple of times a month on Zoom to talk over life and ministry issues. Something Mike does struck a chord with me and reminded me of a 1960s era TV series called "Palladin. " The subtitle was "Have Gun, Will Travel". A gunslinger for hire, Palladin meted out his brand of frontier justice in the late 1800s.
Mike and Cindy are traveling encouragement ministers, lending a listening ear to those in need. Mike has a special 'ministry' to those who are lucky enough to be a part of his life and has been known to take it on the road. He loves to celebrate people by baking cakes for them.
Mike lives in Nepal but his celebratory cakes have made it to Sri Lanka (the one pictured) and India. Whether it's a Nepali boy's birthday, a missionary kid on his team, a newly married Nepali couple or you just happen to be lucky enough to be Mike and Cindy's neighbors - Mike loves to remind you, you are special to God. Matthew 10:29-31 teaches us "are not two sparrows sold for a coper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are more valuable than many sparrows. Pray with us for Mike and Cindy as they begin their planning to relocate to the USA next year.

Prayer Requests:
1. Pray for Alberta and the team of facilitators she is part of as they kick off the "Equipping Women's Training" in Thailand. It starts Tuesday, Oct. 25 and runs for 10 straight days. Pray for a good working relationship on their team and the attendees to engage well with the material and each other.
2. Praise: We've prayed a lot for Krista to find a home and its happened! She signed on a condo that is 8 minutes from where she lives now and she feels it a miracle, given the real estate market. Thanks to the Lord for this wonderful answer to prayer!
3. We have dates for our visit to the Philippines in February/March. Pray for us as we prepare for our month long trip and for our Bethany families in Isabela and Mindoro as they receive us that God would be glorified through our visit.
Serving Christ with You, Steve and Alberta
