The Bad Economy Takes Its Toll

Well, this bad economy has really hit home now.  Mark's work has been pretty slow for the last few weeks and it has gotten to the point that there is no new work.  So last week Mark was notified that he would be on temporary layoff for a while, starting this week.  Quite a few others from work are laid off now too, so we're all hoping that things pick up soon.

If new work does come in Mark will be called back right away because the design is the first thing that happens on a new project.  There are some orders on the horizon but no-one knows when they'll actually come in.  

We are very thankful to God that he has provided us with abundance during the good times so we can make it through the lean times.  We have been saving a little each week for an emergency fund since we got married.  So 5 and a half years later there is a good chunk of money there that we can use to cover our expenses during this layoff.

So we ask you to pray with us that God will send some work to Extol so that Mark and the others can be called back to work.  We also ask for prayers of providence for us.  Now more than ever it would be great if our house sold, as it is the only thing we owe money on.  Would you please pray with power that God will sell our house soon?  We know that he will accomplish these things and the more prayers we offer up to him the better.  Thanks!!!
