Dear Prayer warriors,

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

We write this week with three urgent prayer requests and we ask you to go before Lord with us about these three things:

1. Please pray specifically for the funding needed for the First Evangelical Presbyterian Church mission team that will be coming to serve with us on March 20 - 27. This is our home church and we are so excited to see them. Please pray as they wrap up details on their end and for Jehova Jireh to meet all needs of this trip.

2. Please pray for us on our end as we work hard to coordinate schedules with two churches, arrange food purchasing, menus and cooking with two different teams of cooks. Please pray as we are, for God's love, mercy and grace be poured out upon the people of Villareal and Filadelfia while the team is here. Pray as the next two weeks go quickly by for God to open the hearts of the people in Villareal to accept His free gift of salvation. Pray for the special events where the team will learn the culture of Costa Rica, especially that of Guanacaste. Pray that not only will the team be enriched through an entire day of culture learning, but the people we love (who the team will be spending the day with) will be enriched as well.

3. We have an urgent need and a call to fervent prayer for our financial support. We are at an all time low and truth be told, we are looking at taking an undetermined time of furlough until funds increase. We do NOT feel that God is through with us here in Villareal, however, we cannot support our family living here any longer without an increase in monthly support in the form of more committed monthly supporters. We are asking for prayer for wisdom, guidance, our faith to be increased, and for the Lord of lords to provide for our needs so we do not have to be away any longer than necessary from the harvest field which he has sent us to. Please pray against spiritual discouragement.

Would you like to partner with us financially?
The quickest and easiest way is to go to www.christianlightfoundation.com and click "Online giving." There you will find instructions on how to give from the website of our sending agency.

Would you like to visit with us while we are back in the states on our furlough in May to discuss future partnerships with you, your family or your church? Would you like for our family to share at a gathering in your home or in your church? Please contact us at mateomcclain07@aol.com or anastasiamcclain@aol.com

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us through email or by phone through our Vonage phone number which is a US phone number that reaches rings to us here in Costa Rica: 765-807-5063.

We trust that God WILL provide and truth be told, He always has. We believe in Jesus' Name that He will make our paths straight. Please join us in praying and believing in the King of kings to do great things.

Serving Christ 'til He comes back,
Matt and Brooke :)
