Another Prayer Request

Dear Friends,

I have been informed by our mission that I need to raise another $500-600 per month of support which would be through Liebenzell Mission USA. You can contact them here:

I have been contacting people and churches but many are hard hit by the recession. I am looking at trying to find a part time job that will fit between the cracks of our ministry schedule, homeschooling, driving my son to his job, etc. I would then take what I can make and send it to the mission to cover our shortfall. I have just been trusting the Lord to lead us in the right direction. Sales of my books, DVDs and CDs have been way off for a couple of months. This is the extra income I depend on to cover what we need.

I don't like talking about money issues. But I do covet your prayers right now. I honestly don't see how we can make it through next month if this shortfall continues. Juanita is also barely making it financially. Thankfully Rose's job is steady and she helps with some of our bills, including our health insurance. As you may have read from my other recent articles I know the Lord has us here to watch over His flock from the islands and disciple them. We have more people than ever attending the Bible studies, but I am hard pressed to pay for the gas I need to pick up people in our 15 passenger van. It costs $50. per week for that alone.

I am not complaining, just trusting the Lord because He has always met our needs. Please pray with us that He will show us what He wants us to do during this critical time.

In His hands,
Sandy Simpson

Praise The Lord For His Quick Answer!

Due to our efforts and those of many leaders in the Micronesian community the Hawaii government has decided to extend the medical coverage for critical care for another two years. This is a direct answer to prayer and we are so thankful to the Lord that He takes care of the poor and helpless. Please continue to pray about this issue, however. In the statement of the official from the State of Hawaii she said that those who had cancer before this extension will be covered for chemotherapy but new cases will not. I don't believe this is acceptable, particularly among the Marshallese who are owed medical care for as long as they continue to have birth defects, cancer and other medical issues because of environmental radiation brought on by the testing of the atom bomb on two of their atolls. Pray that the HI state officials will be able to understand the full picture. I still intend to challenge the federal government to live up to its obligations to the Republic of the Marshalls and the other two island nations.

In His hands,
Sandy Simpson
