If someone were to sit down and tell you how CSC became the ministry it is
today, the story would surely keep coming around to faithfulness. The staff
who stepped out in faith to start it, the donors who sacrifice to support
it, and of course, the God who is faithful to lead and surround it would all
certainly be described. But the story would not be complete without telling
of those who have committed to pray. Those who pray daily and diligently,
who view prayer as their primary role at CSC. What a story of faithfulness
they have. Thanks for coming to this place and joining them...and us. Your
prayers make all the difference in what we do.

Today CSC admitted a sibling group of 7 (4 girls, 3 boys). They are darling kids with beautiful smiles! They will be the first children to live in our newly renovated Eicher home. Please pray for them as they adjust to life at CSC.
Praise the Lord for our new houseparents, Uncle Dondon and Auntie Ivy! They have been observing at the shelter for the past two weeks and will be moving in this week. We are excited to have them on our staff! Please pray for them and their two children as they make the many adjustments to life and work at CSC.
The Eicher home is nearly finished! It has been under renovation for the past month and a half and the end is in sight. This week we will be furnishing the house and getting it ready to be lived in. Pray for all of the details that need to be completed, that we won't overlook anything, and that everything will fall into place!
The camp for our children, hosted by the team from Central Baptist Church of St. Paul, MN, is this weekend and is being held at a Christian camp on the beach about three hours drive south of Cebu City. The team, CSC staff, and children will be making trips on busy roads during the next four days. Please pray for alert drivers and safe travel for everyone. Drivers will be Sandy, Paul, Edwin, Marlys, Ruth, Mitch, Joel and Jerry.
A close family member of four of our workers passed away last week. Please pray for comfort for them as they grieve. Pray also for safe travels as they return at the end of the week.
Please pray for one of our teenage boys who has had some behavior concerns. Pray for wisdom for him and the staff as we deal with these concerns.
As we look forward to opening our third home to residents, we have begun the process of looking for new houseparents. This is a very important job at CSC. Pray for us as we seek the right couple for this huge job!
Today CSC admitted a new little baby boy, Joshua Micah. Praise the Lord that he seems healthy and strong!
Pray for Joel Reasoner as he goes to Japan to spend time with his family and to connect with a couple of churches. He will be presenting CSC in two churches, including the Kurume Christ Church, which is one of our supporting churches. He will also be presenting in the Tachikawa Ekimae Christian Church.
Some of our former residents are struggling in their adoptive families. Pray for strength, wisdom, forgiveness, and patience for everyone as they go through these difficult situations.
Please pray for Delia, one of our longtime CSC workers. Her husband passed away unexpectedly on Christmas Eve. Pray for her and her family during this difficult time.
Ever wonder how to pray for CSC on any given day? It can certainly be hard to determine just what to pray for. Well, we have come up with a new way to help you (you're praying for us, it's the least we can do!). Go to the Prayer Chapel in the Get Involved section and select "create a prayer card now" in the callout box. A prayer request will be created that randomly selects a prayer item, a staff member, and of course, a CSC child to pray for. Thanks for each of your prayers and your heart for our ministry!
