Father God`s Heart

Dear Partners,

Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support! In partnership with you, we are excited at the leading of the Lord for all of you. As we enter 2014, Let`s be reminded of Jeremiah 29:11-14 when it says, 

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then, you will call on Me, and I will listen to you. And, you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you out......

As we gain a revelation of the Father God`s heart for us,  then, we will call on Him (He will listen) and we will seek Him (and find Him). And, He will bring us out of what holds us in captivity and lead us forward into His Kingdom plan and purpose! PTL!

Here`s an update:

Jacob - Ballet Magnificat - Trainee Program

Thank you for all your prayers and support for Michelle, Jacob, and Abigail as they continue serving with Ballet Magnificat. Jacob will be having an audition next week for entry into the trainee program. He has to not only dance, but also give his testimony of God`s love and salvation. 

Please pray for Jacob. We are believing in the following areas for him:

     

• For continued progress and development through the NACD program. 
• For the passing of the test to get his driver`s license. Through consultation with NACD, we have been encouraged to pursue this direction. Please pray for him.
• For a good part time job to help him go to the next level of growth and to help cover his monthly fees. God is faithful!
• For further gains with independent living skills.  We look forward to God`s work in his life.

Marcia continues on with school, violin, and volunteering at the UMMC Children's Hospital.  

Final Note:

We praise God for each of you! I continue to work in Japanese translation. Last Sunday, we enjoyed having friends from Nissan visit our church here in MS for the first time. PTL!! At the same time, Michelle stays active cleaning our local church, sewing at BM, and overseeing the home-school program. She also works faithfully with Jacob on his NACD program.

With your prayers and gifts, I know God has great plans for us to "break out" in new ways this year.

We look forward to representing you for God`s Kingdom here in Mississippi! 

Keep in touch,

Mark Gulland (Michelle)
