Sweet Home Prayer Requests

Please pray for some of the committee members in Sweet Home as they face the following problems:

Noluthando is sick, which has delayed the start of the sewing project.

Forrest was arrested over the weekend, but was released because there were no grounds for his arrest.

Thandokazi is having a problem with the surgery she had three years ago, when her daughter was born.

Ntombi has shingles.

News from Sweet Home

I found out some info on Sweet Home in our committee meeting yesterday that I thought I would update you guys on so you could be praying and because I know you guys have been praying so i thought you might want to hear some of the good news. Share this with the rest of your team as you see fit.

*The Committee Mamas are doing a clothing sale this Saturday in Sweet Home with all the clothes you guys donated to make money to start their sewing business. Pray that it's protected, things don't get stolen, everyone is honest, etc. Pray also that they would make a sound plan with the money to be able to finance their sewing project. Chase and I are facilitating a lesson today on planning around an objective to help them reach their goal.

*There is a new CHE named Princess who is very interested in working with Ntombi on the AA group. They are going to an AA meeting this Friday to check it out.

*Lucas (the Rasta guy) is doing very well. Sisanda said he is coming to EVERY CHE meeting and seems to be sobering up and wanting to be part of the recovery group.

*Forest is taking a more active interest in CHE, he's working with Sisanda to get an NPO # for them so they can be eligible to receive grant money from the government for their work.

I hope you guys are well. Thanks for your investments into the work in Sweet Home. We miss you guys!
