Recently, my No1 client in the US was hit pretty bad by the nationwide downturn in IT services. Their web requirements have taken a backseat to many other more pressing needs - so my work load evaporated very quickly. I'm believing that there is another stable client out there somewhere who needs an excellent web designer / webmaster for the long-term. We'd love to meet them soon! Thanks for praying with us about this :-) It is appreciated. Yours in Christ Tony & Toshiko Martin & Family ____________________________________________________________________ 03/26/2001 I am gonna leave this short and to the point. If you are a Christian you know that prayer is the answer to any problem!! Lindsey is 14 years old. She is in our youth group at Hopewell Baptist Church in Rhine, Georgia. She has a brain tumor in the center of her brain. It is 3 to 5 cm and we don't know what is gonna happen to her. If you are a Christian, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I ask you to pray and pass this on to at least your Christian contacts! She needs prayer!! Everyone in our youth group loves her dearly and we want this to go far and wide so please send it!! This is not luck, it won't get you a free certificate, it is nothing but GRACE, and I ask all of you Christians to pray!! Please?? Yours always in Christ Jesus, Hopewell Baptist Youth Group, Philippians 3:14 ______________________________________________ Please pray for two unnamed families and for my health problems.

Well, my time at work is up on the 30th of April and to date no sight of a new job within the University. I spoke with Billy a few times over the course of the past weeks and his heart seems to be harder than ever. I am still struggling with issues of faith but keep pushing forward towards God as I know in my heart that He is the answer. Lastly, my finances are getting worse. I came home the other day to find my electric had been cut off . Please keep praying for me and my family!
