Dear Friend......

It is time to look ahead to most of the events and projects of 2007. Our year will be full, but we are excited about the enormous opportunities for which we are now planning. Please use the schedule below as a prayer calendar for our team. We are asking God for:

· Detailed planning to match projects' purposes
· Safety and health during travel and implementation
· Use of technology that illuminates truth
· Decisions by kids to be life changing
· Families of our staff to feel safe and loved while at home
· Continual growth and development of Outside the Box - project depth, financial support, staff resilience
