theLains your Mongolian Family

Stirring Family,
Thank you for your prayers and support!
Some of you have asked me about raising support for a vehicle. We will probably raise support for a vehicle in the future along with a motorcycle and a horse, but it seems that it is field policy for language students not to have any of their own transportation in their first year. This fosters more dependence on our team and new culture.

Please pray for going out West, our Home stay, Language study, and Support.

West:
There are three locations the field is considering to pursue in this next year. Of those three one has the highest potential of success and one has the greatest need...please pray we just don't choose the easiest without considering the needs! We are one of the families whom potentially are going to the west. We WANT to be sent to the west because we feel CALLED: It will be rural, sparse, limited electricity, no running water, living in yurts or a communal cabin with the other two (potential) families.

Pray:
That we can connect and build community with these two families now.
That God will provide and produce vision within our team.
That competency in language will come in this next year that will demonstrate: self discipline and motivated learning that will aid in our 2nd year of language study in the west.
Preparing for communal living: Sharing a Home with two other families(4 American Adults, 1 single female Aussie, 2 Mongolian Adults, and a lot of kids (5+)), sharing a vehicle, chores, schooling of children, and working together in projects, CP, and in a "M" and "B" context.

Home Stay:
We have been in our Yurt (Ger/tent) for approximately two weeks and we love it. Our family is very gracious and we are having many breakthroughs in language and prayer. Please, continue to pray for them.

Language Study:
Either will start on the 21st or the 25th of August. Mongolian is a hard language! Pray that our ears and tongues are set free!
Comprehension of the vocab and grammar.


Support:
We need prayer for our monthly financial support. We have seen God provide in Miraculous ways and our hearts are filled with PRAISE.
Praise God that even though not all our pledged supporters have not been able to give God has given us above and beyond our needs thus far!


Thank you so much for being a part of our Mongolian Family!
PTL,
Larry
