May It Happen

Thank you for your continued prayers on behalf of MAF in Ecuador. We have received another large check from the Ministry of Public Health. They still need to pay for the past two months, but being two months behind is better than being four months behind! Also, we still are working without a contract. Efforts to get that contract signed are taking up a lot of the Quito office manager's time. Please pray that the contract will be signed soon, and that there will be a short-cut through the red tape.

Also, on a bit different note, as I've mentioned the other day, MAF is setting up a couple communication centers in Sumatra. These centers will provide Internet connectivity via satellite for some of the relief organizations, as well as their own operations in the area. I have volunteered to go over and work on installation and maintenance of the equipment. At this point I'm on a standby list, and if I do go, it would be for four weeks. The big prayer request right now is for the shipping of the satellite antennas--they are too large to air freight. Getting them there any other way would be too slow. Please pray that the staff in Redlands can find alternative shipping or alternative antennas, and that it will happen quickly.
