My Aunt and Uncle sent us a book over the weekend that will prayerfully help us in reaching our Muslim neighbors with The Gospel.
When I picked up the mail, there was a check in our box for our neighbor. I found her at another neighbor’s home. She asked if her husband knew about the check, which he didn’t. She and the neighbor whose home we were in shared in broken English that the husband only gives her $100 to buy food for the two of them and their 4 young children. The rest he spends on what he wants, including gambling.
I have noticed that the mom goes to various Rohingya homes each day and today she confided that it’s because they feed her and her kids.
Her husband has the mail key on his car keys and is the one who usually checks it, so she doesn’t know when checks arrive. I went with her to show her which box is hers and help her learn to check it.
My heart is broken for this momma who stays home to take care of the 2 youngest children and can’t drive. Please pray for us to have wisdom in how to serve this family.

Later in the afternoon the momma came over asking for a ride to cash the check. Patti had just got home from the grocery store, but offered to go back and assist. During the first trip to the store we purchased some groceries for their family to assist during this time.
Please pray for this family. Pray that the Dad would not neglect his family and spend their money on gambling games.
