Ciao Cari,

We hope you are all being blessed as you live for Jesus in these dark days.  Thanks for your recent prayers as we continue to live and minister by faith here in Rome.

Sunday was fun for us in our new little building as we had a slew of visitors all show up at the same time, mostly locals.  The only problem, which was a good problem to find ourselves having, was that we didn't have enough chairs for everybody.  When we opened the building we had a hand full of old chairs from the bookstore days, then we bought about 10 new ones thinking it would get us along for a bit.  Wrong, by God's grace.  No telling if we will be that full again anytime soon, but we definitely need to get some more chairs.  Not to mention, the more the bodies, the hotter it gets in there.  We have put together a list of items and projects which will bring our building renovation endeavor to completion over time.  Please pray with us over these needs and pray if, and how, God might have you get involved personally.

By way of a couple of brief prayer requests, Please pray for:

- Phillip and his family as they are being forced out of their apartment.  They need resources for a deposit on a new apartment.

- Lidia's family in the south is going through business and financial problems at the hand of the city, legal issues etc...

- Continue to pray for Romina, Fabio and their family for their salvation.  Her dad Mimo, is dealing with alzheimers and was recently moved to a home to better meet his needs.  Pray for grace for Mimo, as well as Romina as they deal with the guilt and distance, concern for Mimo.

Thank you again for allowing us to depend so much upon you all for your prayers and support.  Our prayer is that you too will be blessed as you carry these needs to the throne of grace, spiritually and in every way.

By Grace,

The Harrell's
