My name is Jake Orlando. I serve in Asia with my wife Avril and son Cody, who is almost 2. I wanted to write on behalf of our family and thank you for praying for us.
We have lived in our new country for almost a year now. We are happy to be serving the Lord here and to know we have people back home praying for us. We get more and more used to the culture and language every day, but sometimes things are still hard. We know that it is the prayers of God’s people that get us through.
My wife Avril is pregnant, and our baby is due early October. Please pray with us that our son will be healthy and that there will be no complications. Thank you for being a part of what God is doing here in Asia through your support and prayers.
