Boat Ministry in Bangladesh

Our partners, Omar and Shana (not their real names) in Bangladesh are responding to the needs of the more than 4 million people affected by the catastrophic flooding of the Bengal Delta in the southern portion of the country. As we have shared previously, Omar and Shana are sewing reusable sanitary pads for especially school age girls as part of their ministry to them. As they visited inundated villages by boat the cry of the women was for more of the pads. Other relief workers are providing food and other essentials but our partners are providing a unique necessity. 

Omar and Shana plan a follow up trip and we would like to help them with relief supplies and more pads for the girls. If you would like to help, send us a message and we'll give you further information.  The two great questions the people were asking. "What is the name of your organization?" When are you coming again?" Pray for safety for our friends as they navigate swollen rivers to get come to the aid of the people.

Prayer Requests: 

1. Pray for our trip to Victoria, British Columbia this Wednesday. May the Lord make us a blessing in the reunions we will have with my men's group friends from Chiang Mai and Alberta's  friends from her nursing work in Florida in the 1980s. 

2. Continue to pray for me (Steve) as I volunteer with the high school guys of our church in a weekly small group. Teenagers are a whole new world of ministry for me.

3. Pray for Alberta as she interacts with Equipping Women International around facilitation of new trainings for the coming year. 

Serving Christ with You, Steve and Alberta
