Charlie says Thank You

Image via Wikipedia

Saw Charlie yesterday. He hopes to return to his home in UK this week. He still needs more strength, but wants to get home ASAP. Your prayers are helping! Josh and I got hit with an upper respiratory cold since last Tuesday. I even lost my voice for a few days. I'm feeling a little better.

Heavenly Father, we trust You for healing, because you created our bodies for Your glory. Be glorified by healing Charlie, Joshua and Mike. Help us to trust You more for our health each day.

Pray for Charlie

Long to Worship You image by loswl via Flickr

Charlie is 77 years old. He was in a coma from Jan. 14-24. On Sunday evening, Sue and I went to the hospital to pray for him. He told me today that the only memory he has since Jan. 14 is our visit on the 24th. He remembers that we prayed for his healing and read the Bible to him. He praises God for answering our prayers and ending his coma that night. He has a way to go still!

Heavenly Father, heal your dear child in Sousse. Give him strength to return home to the UK, where he is the pastor of an evangelical church.

Buried in e-mail

Many relationships and activities kept us from answering e-mail for two months. They were very fruitful and blessed by the Lord. We thank Jesus for being our strength and reason for living. The biggest problem we've experienced is the quantity of unanswered e-mail. What a blessing it is to say that is the worst of our problems. Now, we need to either answer or delete these messages.

Heavenly Father, give Mike and Sue wisdom as they evaluate which of the emails to answer and delete. Help Mike to catch-up with paperwork and other less desirable tasks he needs to complete.

Try a Daniel Fast!

In 1997, when I was speaking in a church in Kentucky, I learned about The Daniel Fast. It is a short-term vegan diet, avoiding all forms of junk food and caffeine. We tried it. We shared it with others. I shared the Daniel Fast at our website in 1998. Over the last year, we've had 184,657 visitors to our Daniel Fast page. Give it a try! For your first fast, just go a few days. Then try for a longer duration.

Heavenly Father, encourage us as we deny ourselves of some earthly pleasures to focus more on You. Give us spiritual breakthrough as Your children today.

Daniel Fast in January only?

Happy 12th Birthday, Joshua!

Joshua at Auqua Palace last summer

It is fun for Joshua that he has his birthday on Wednesday, since that is Awana Club day. He will get to share cake, that mom is baking right now, with about 40 people. It will be fun. Once again we will rent a Renault car to drive up to Tunis. Since we don't have our permanent resident visa yet, we don't want to invest a lot of money in a car. Yesterday, I went alone by the train to Tunis. For more than two people, it is cheaper to rent a car.

Heavenly Father, thank You for reliable trains and rental cars in Tunisia. Keep the Farhos safe as they travel each week. Help them to get their resident visas soon.

Blessings to You in 2010

God is all powerful and owns everything. We are only His servants, whether we know it or not. So we know He holds our future and yours too. May His plan be blessing and great joy for you in 2010!

Today, we had our second funeral in Sousse. It is a heavy responsibility to be the only pastor over so many miles of Tunisia.

If you desire to make a one time year end gift toward our work, please go to http://give.farho.net for more information.

Heavenly Father, You are able to do above and beyond all we can hope or imagine. Give us and Mike and Sue Your Holy Spirit's anointing to serve You even better in 2010!
