Laid down lovers for Jesus!

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,

Hi! Thank you for your prayers and support of us at this time! 

God is faithful!  He has been with us in this process of transitioning to Mississippi.  While things in the natural are still very hard and there are many adjustments to make,  we continue to press in to the Lord and His goodness.  

Some things are still unsettled for us.  One area is schooling for the kids.  Thank you for your prayers as we make decisions this week for them (the girls).  Another need is for the additional employment just to cover the basics of living here.   We are looking forward to all the good things God has planned for each of us in this season.  

We sincerely want to thank all of our friends and "family" at Grace Fellowship Church in Titusville, PA.  We could not have made it without your love, care and support in every practical and spiritual way in this past year!!!!  Like Paul,  we overflow with thanksgiving for you and your heart in serving us!  Our hearts are with you as you all continue on in your pursiut of the LORD personally and corporately.  We miss you all very much!

ENCOURAGING WORD

We had a brother in the Lord share with us in the past several days, and I quote, "God is in the process of strategically placing, and planting, uprooting, rebuilding, and tearing down to build again." I bear witness with this word and really feel God does not want any of us to get too comfortable right now. And, it is so exciting to see how He is positioning all of us for a new surge forward in 2012 and beyond! I pray for each of us that we will abandon ourselves to Him and lay down our everything (our dreams, our visions, our pre-conceived notions) so God can build what He desires in us. Truly, God continues to prepare us for great things in the days ahead. Yet, these great things will only birth when we become "Laid Down Lovers" of Him. May we be those lovers of Jesus in this hour. PTL!!

PRAYER NEEDS
  • Family. Please pray for our finances, schools, living schedules to quickly begin to come together here in MS.
  • Reign of Grace Ministries (AIM). Please pray for the process to birth in this new season of outreach to Japan and Asia. I have been invited to go to Cambodia for a medical mission in October. Please pray for this opportunity.
  • New contacts. I have a potential opportunity to meet some Japanese managers who work at the local Nissan plant here. Please pray God`s will be done and that we can connect with the Japanese community here soon.
