Prayer: Upcoming Colombia NTMAA Installation (02/03/2009)
On February 23, my co-worker, Nathan Whatley, and I are planning to head down to Colombia for three weeks. Our goal is to install our NTMAA system (accounting, personnel records, and purchasing/inventory/sales subsystems) and to provide our fellow missionaries there with appropriate training. We would appreciate your prayers for safety, good health, and that we will be a blessing.
Prayer: Hannah's OCD Difficulties (02/03/2009)
We would appreciate your prayers on the home front also. In our 2008 Annual Report we mentioned that our youngest daughter, Hannah (age 9), has recently been having some difficulties.After observing Hannah’s recent behaviors, we saw our family doctor and then had an evaluation with a specialist; he concluded that Hannah is dealing with a neurobiological disorder referred to as OCD (Obsessive Compulsive disorder). For more information about OCD, please visit www.JPOliver.com/ocd.
We would appreciate your prayers that God, the Great Healer, would provide healing for our precious Hannah, and guide us as we seek to help Hannah (through medication and/or therapy).
