Abiding in Him

Good Morning Friends!!

This has been another week of abiding in the the Lord's grace! We have been busy as usual but enjoying everyday.

My time at St. Vincent School for the Deaf is going well. Last week I was able to spend a good deal of time interacting with the kids. I am starting to understand more and more of what they are saying to me. This week I am going on Tuesday instead of Thursday. Please pray for Kim, the teacher I am working with. She really has a heart for seeing those kids come to know the Lord. Pray that the kids would be able to see the LOVE of Jesus in her life. Also, pray that her Bible studies with them would be fruitful and productive.

I am teaching the kindergarten class at Aurora on Wednesdays and that is going well. I am starting to know the kids a little better and they are starting to warm up to me as well. Although I spend most of the day with the youngest kids, during the break times, the older girls always ask me to tell them stories. I was able to share the Gospel with several of the grade 6 and 7 girls this week. Please pray that they would really come to understand the LOVE that Jesus has for them in a life-changing way.

Friday nights are youth nights at the church. I have really been enjoying my time with the kids and with the youth. This week we are having a big event and I am sharing my testimony. Please pray for me as I prepare for this time. Also, please pray that the Lord would be softening the hearts of the kids so they will be receptive to hearing the good news of Jesus!

Easter weekend, Amanda and I are hoping to go to Cape Town with Faslune and her family. Please pray for us as we make plans for this. We are currently pricing tickets and are hoping to find some that are within our price range. Their family is driving but there isn't room in the car for us. Please pray that we will be able to find cheap tickets.

We are continuing to meet more and more people in the apartment complex and the Lord is giving us amazing opportunities for building relationships with those people. Please keep praying for us to have boldness as we seek to share the love of Jesus with these people.

I am currently looking for jobs for August. Please pray for me as I am doing that. I want to teach where the Lord's wants me to teach.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. Please let me know how I can be praying for you as well. I love you and miss you!

Sending my love from Africa,
Nikki Lutes
