What's New(s) in November

Singapore. Vietnam. Hong Kong. Philippines.
We're having so much fun ministering and traveling together and exploring what God has for us to do while our boys are now both in USA, we skipped a month writing to you!
Praying in November
Thank you Lord for our 13 years in Singapore. For all that you've done in here through your church and continue to do. We pray for your CRMS volunteers and staff as we are seeking you for your will for them in mentoring leaders here.
In November:
13-19th Egypt Kimberly will be teaching drama skills for ministry and outreach to Coptic Christian Youth drama teams. This will be her 3rd trip to Egypt since 2008. There is great camraderie and trust with the two other trainers (women she met through CITA-Christians in Theatre Arts, back when leading drama ministry at Rolling Hills Covenant Church). The excitement of the Egyptian students once she gets there is more ministry to her than she can hope to bring in serving them! Lord, with all the changes this past year in Egypt, give the local staff and these 3 foreign trainers discernment. Help us draw out of these passionate young people what will work in the future as they hope to share the Gospel in Arabic through drama.
25th Join us for a Thanksgiving Open House 6-10PM RSVP!
In years past we've had between 12 and 60+ show up for a taste of American tradition. We've no idea what the numbers will be this year, but there's always just enough! 
Our neighbors hear who the Pilgrims were and why they were thankful (and especially who they gave thanks to). It's been a great opportunity to build community in our neighborhood.
We then invite the guests share what they are thankful for; and then James prays for them before we dig in. Do you see the fake fire on the TV screen! What a hoot!
The best news of the Month:
First quarter grades from Chamberlain-Hunt Academy have come back and confirmed Cameron's potential, and the strength of this Christian boarding school. There were wonderful comments from his teachers, citizenship and work ethics "outstanding," along with the best grades I've seen on any Creasman High School report card since 1975: Straight A's! We're thrilled.
We will see both boys in December and are looking forward to being together. We miss them, but are so thrilled they are thriving in their schools. Lord, bless those saints at CHA who are committed to building Godly young men in this generation. Provide the needed staff and funding they are seeking. Thank you that you have preserved such a school in these times and we pray your blessing, favor and provision for them.
May your November be blessed.
