Monday 3-15-10
Good morning, or afternoon to you. I hope all of you had a great weekend! Jennifer, Gavin, and I had a great time at church yesterday and had a wonderful youth group last night. We had 18 at youth and taught about the burdens of sin in our lives. So many times in our lives we allow sin to lie dormit. When we allow sin in our lives we can't effectively run the race that is set out before us. God loves us and wants a relationship with us, yet we have to "take up our cross daily and die to ourselves". Take up your cross today and die to that sinful nature that we all so often struggle with. Be aware of every action you make and keep your eyes on Christ "who is the author and perfector of our faith."
We love all of you very much and look forward to seeing you soon!

Good Morning!
For those of you that don't know Jennifer, Gavin, and I are moving back home! It will be a sad day when we leave Kiana, but we know that God is leading us back to Texas (We never thought that would happen). It is a very calming and reashuring time when God is perfectly clear with where He wants you. We have grown to love the people of Kiana and the northwest arctic.
Continue to pray for Jennifer and I as we are searching for jobs and direction on what we are suppost to do when we get back. Jennifer and I have both applied to teach in Amarillo and Pampa, as well as areas of ministry. Sometimes I have to be careful not to make my own plans and allow God to lead us. So pray for us as we search for jobs and a place to live. Thank you for your prayers and support. We know God will continue to move in the arctic and in our lives as we move to our next lap in the race. We love you all and will see you soon.
Pray that we don't get so focused on the next lap that we lose stride in the present.

We had 21 at youth this evening and all is well. We were teaching out of I Corinthians 3:1-4. Continue to pray that God continues to work in the hearts and lives of all that God puts in our path. We love you all! We look forward to seeing you soon.
We are praying for Shirly Andres family. Coonie, we love you very much and your family is very special to us. We will continue to pray for the family!

Too much sugar after discipleship!
This is what we do after our discipleship class on Thursdays. They were a little hyper and wanted to do some eskimo dancing. We had a great time and they are really excited to learn what it is to be a Christian. We thank all of you that have supported us and pray for us continually. These are some of the faces that have been effected! We love you all!

Youth Meetings
We are blessed as we had 24 youth at youth group last night at our house. We are enjoying them as we are able to tell and teach them more about Jesus Christ and how to have a stronger relationship with Him.
Also pray for our friends the Stewart's as they are missionaries in India and one of their home churches in a village was attacked and many were hospitalized and don't have the money necessary for the bills. Jennifer and I are going to send some money to help the new believers. Helping and encouraging them as God will provide for their needs in times of adversity. If you would like to donate please let us know. We love you all! I will try and attach a copy of the email!

Dear Friends,
We come to you with some serious news and ask that you please pray for these people, this village, and all that have been connected to this situation.
One of the young men that Glenn has been training in CPM principles through T4T training has been working in an unreached Rajasthani village. Previously there were no known believers in this village. Now, there is one group of about 20 new believers meeting together in a home for worship.
A few nights ago, while these new believers were meeting together, a group of men (apparently organized by one of the new believer’s own family members) attacked the home with axes and iron rods. Several were seriously injured. We are getting reports that some of the women were being attacked to be raped and at least one put up enough of a fight that these men just began beating the women…at least one young girl’s leg was broken. We were told that some of the people fled into the jungle to escape. The leader of this house meeting was seriously beaten in the head to the point that he has had to have surgery on his eye. Eleven have been hospitalized. The government hospital turned them away, so they had to turn to a private hospital for medical care. The severity of the injuries along with this rejection for cheap medical care has greatly increased the cost which right now appears to be approx. $800.
The situation is bad and there seems to be no one for these people to turn to for help. The government, the police, and the media are not supporting the believers in any way. The media has even told this story in such a way that it disparages the believers rather than the attackers.
Please pray for this small group of new believers. Please pray for those that have been hospitalized, that they will heal quickly and be a witness for Jesus to those they encounter. Please pray that they will have the resources needed for their medical expenses. Please pray for the Christian workers in Rajasthan. Please Pray for great boldness for all of us during this difficult time.
Working together for HIS glory,
Glenn, Rhonda, Sarah, Abigail, and Jonathan Stewart
