Good news and a request for prayer





After weeks of frenzied preparations and anticipation, Jeff and Sarah were finally married last Saturday at the North Baltimore Mennonite Church. It was a simple but lovely wedding that included a foot washing ceremony that symbolized their love for and submission to each other. A simple soup and salad dinner reception followed the ceremony. Children and adults tried their hands at whacking a pinata. Many visited over board games.

With this wedding, Sarah exchanged one room mate (Anna) for a life long one. Anna moved into another room on the first floor. We welcome Jeff into the RHHP household and look forward to all the different small and large projects he will do around the house. It will be great to have a real live engineer who is actually handy with a screw driver and wrench living among us.

On a somber note, we request prayer for our asylum seeker house mate who seriously injured himself while at work. He is at home recovering and continues to have doctor visits. He is receiving great support from members of RHHP and the African community in Baltimore but this is a trying time for him.

My prayers are with your housemate who was hurt at work. I pray for healing and grace... and a sense of humor which surely will help in the days ahead.
