Excerpt from the Burwell's Newsletter

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!" Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV

The Burwells are missionaries along with the Taylors and the Weinhofers in Ube. Below is an excerpt from their prayer newsletter regarding preparations in Ube for the team from arriving from Atlanta in a few weeks. Please keep the Burwells, Taylors and Weinhofers in your prayers.

"Short Term team and church moving prayer needs
Thanks to the work of our teammates, the Taylors, and in answer to many prayers, there is a short term team coming from the First Baptist Church of Atlanta from April 11th to the 19th. They will be doing various remodeling projects in the new ministry center and they have raised enough money for their travel, lodging and all of the materials that are needed for the work they will do here. Praise the Lord! Please pray with us that the team would be unified, protected from injury and sickness and that God would use them to draw many of our unsaved friends here into His kingdom. The gospel choir will be singing at the Easter service mingling with the team after church at the barbecue and one other day that week. We also hope that English students will come on Easter to greet the team. Easter will be the only Sunday the team can spend with us so we also ask prayer that the Lord would bring in many of our unsaved contacts plus new folks from the local neighborhood around the ministry center. The Lighthouse Ube Christ Church will actually be starting worship services there on April 5th.

The church and missionary team have been and will continue to work every Sunday afternoon cleaning, packing and moving from the old building to the new one. We must be out of the old building by March 31st. We will have two weeks of English classes and choir and other ministries in the new building before the team arrives and then will cancel all ministries for a week."
