Friends and supporters of Miriam and Ed Noyes ~
Specific prayer needs
=> It is now December 6 and election results are to be announced today. Please pray for calm and safety. Ed writes, "people generally agree that the 2006 elections were conducted in an atmosphere of transparency. But there are grave doubts about these elections. This
creates the tension to which the US embassy is reacting. They have
closed the American School in Kinshasa until Thursday and restrict
embassy personnel to the diplomatic quarter of downtown Kinshasa. Travel
is not recommended. People here simply pray for peace and the chance to get on with life."
=> Patricia Lazicki
(volunteer soil scientist since August) is supposed to leave here on
December 13. Mission Aviation Fellowship is not flying this week
(presumably because of the uncertain surrounding election reactions.)
There is a kind of informal potluck planned to see her off. Hard to
believe that time has passed so quickly. Please pray for Patricia's safe return trip to the USA.
