We give thanks to all Supports and ask for prayer


Wow, we just finished week 4 and know that we are in the midst of God's work with all of you. We are here because of our supports and the Lord Jesus Christ. This week, as I do many weeks, I had a great conversation about this great phenomena that
God does in and through us. He could miraculously do the things he does in each individual life. But He choses to orchestrate this beautiful thing, where He weaves our lives together. He has called you all(our supporters) to pray and give encouragement and fianances to this ministry to allow us to do what we do. This past month we had a college age girl, Sami Matthews come and watch our boys so that we could both be out serving. The groups that come do so much work that we just couldn't do without them. These groups also encourage us. There are people praying for these kids. One 13 or 14 year old girl heard about a girl in a poor community that we serve and how she didn't have a hairband so her mom used a chicken bone to put her hair up. She gathered her friends and made hundreds of hair bands, barrets, and ties for the girls in the communities we serve. When we share the stories like these, or how God used all the people in our lives to get here, or any other ways the Lord works in our lives He is glorified. Only He provides in these ways changing the lives of those He uses and those who recieve. God is sheltering us all in the process.
As we stop to take a breather before the next four weeks. Greg and I want to say thank you for all of those who support this ministry and praise God for all He has done and continues to do.
I also want to ask you for continued prayers for protection, for energy to depend on Him. Its easy to think we deserve rest and not depend on God for our rest. Its easy to listen to Satan's lies that we can't do something God calls us to do. Its easy to get caught up with the work or being overwhelmed. Thank you for your prayers.
