Santa Barbara Catalytic Trip

Tomorrow (Wednesday, March 12), I'll be taking a trip to a school in a relatively nearby city. We have occasional contact and visits with them, and try to encourage them in their ministry. Since we aren't there full-time, but rather try to help things along with short trips, we call it catalytic ministry. Anyway, it takes about 3 hours by bus to get there and we will be making the trip twice tomorrow. We'll be encouraging them about Congreso, and this will be my first trip out there. Please pray for safe and problem free travel, and for our time with the students there tomorrow.

"March" Prayer Letter

Apartment hunting

Please pray for apartment hunting tomorrow. We still have yet to find one, even having looked in the paper for the last few months. I've finally figured out how I can do something a little more proactive than just look in the paper though, so tomorrow I will go with a student named Jatniel to ask around all the apartment complexes nearby here to ask if they know of any availabilities and give them contact info in case they hear of any after we talk to them. After that, we will probably go visit various realtors to try and get them looking, since we've finally found out that they do not charge to look, but their fees are only assessed if you actually enter into a contract in an apartment they've found.

Please pray that we can move through the apartment complexes in a time-efficient manner.
Please pray that the search would be fruitful.
Overall, please pray that God would provide us with an apartment
1. nearby (important since we work as a team and the girls already have their apartment),
2. that is affordable (the market price I've seen in the newspapers for apartments like ours is double what we are currently paying),
3.and that has amiable landlords (we've had several issues with our current landlord being less than ethical or friendly)
4. soon (we legally have until April 15 to be in this apartment, but from the landlord's previous statements, I think he may begin hassling us if we aren't out by March 15).

Thank you all for your prayers.
