Dear Prayer Partner,
It is February. That means that some very important things are happening!
The students graduating on March 30 are trying to finish up their seminary requirements and to prepare for life and ministry after their studies. Some know to which church or ministry they will be going. Others do not. Please pray for God's guidance and help with all the transitions they are making.
The students thinking of entering the seminary in June are getting information, praying, deciding whether or not to begin seminary, and, we hope, filling in applications soon.
Please pray for the right number of called and gifted applicants. BSOP hopes to increase its enrollment to record levels in the school year beginning in June.
Pray for parents to give permission and for the potential students to overcome financial, personal, and other barriers so that they may begin seminary study.
The students currently caught up in the `grind' of the middle of the term are studying hard, learning much, and serving faithfully in their weekend ministries.
 Please pray for all to have health, energy, stamina, and teachable hearts.
 Some of the singles, of course, do notice that Valentine's Day is near. Some have also noticed that there are some attractive members of the complementary gender in the student body. Please pray for God to lead each one to the right partner (or not!). May each do so with holiness and integrity.
Those who teach and mentor such students are working hard to do so. Yes, that includes us, of course. We also have our `distractions'. Please pray for:
our speaking & ministry inside and outside the seminary.
appropriate involvement in our local church as it changes leadership (for unhappy reasons).
prompt and satisfactory resolution of a dispute over the right-of-way to our OMF-Philippines Office and Mission Home. May it not have to go to the court system.
record support to be given in 2008-to make up for 2007 support being only 86% of the target and a 25% decline in the value of the U.S. dollar.
It is February. God wants to do many important things through our prayers! Thank you!
For God to be glorified through Christ and Him crucified, in Asia,
Jay and Amor
