As soon as I began to read to Cora from the Streams In The Desert devotional book, I knew it was for us. It began, "FAINT NOT! How great is the temptation at this point! How the soul sinks, the heart grows sick, and the faith staggers under the keen trials and testings which come into our lives in times of special bereavement and suffering."

These last few weeks her suffering has increased in intensity and frequency. Waiting on the Lord has been very difficult for all of us, so we have really needed and appreciated the added prayer support the Lord has sent. Many who hardly know us have been sent by the Holy Spirit to hold us up and fight for us. We trust the time for breakthrough is at hand.

And we thank you for your expressions of concern and prayerful support letters, notes, books, CDs, etc. Knowing you are behind us means so much in times like these. Truly you are the Body of Christ to us. We especially covet your prayer support at this time for Cora's soon healing as well as strength and encouragement for all of us.

Would you also please pray for the intercessors the Lord has sent that come on Monday night to pray with and encourage us? They are all coming under intense attack by the enemy as they fight for us sickness, accidents, family problems, etc., anything to keep them away. We know this battle will be won by the Lord, but we also believe that you play an important part.

Please forgive us if we cannot write personally to you when you correspond with us. Cora is not up to writing and my time seems so short with work and caring for her. But we do hope you will keep writing since it is really a blessing and encouragement. By the way, Wycliffe is now using the system I wrote but fixes are still needed so please keep praying.

Hopefully next month's letter will be one of victory or sooner! Our times are in His Hands, but our cry is for mercy and deliverance. We love and appreciate you very much.
