Join us as rejoice in His glory and come to Him in prayer.
"Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." - Romans 5:2-5
June 2010 Prayer Request
1. Please be in prayer as we continue to feel God leading us to go visit the community of Guangra a community of approximately 800 people. We are asking for medical team to be called to join us in reaching out to these Quechua people. We have made contact with them and God has opened doors and they are looking forward for a visit then following up with the medical team with possibility of started outreach Bible studies and our first house church there.
2. Continued prayer for developing and training pastors, leaders and house church leaders and their groups to catch and commit to the vision of starting at least one outreach Bible study group with the results of a house church by the end of 2010.We are working with 20 in the Chunchi area, 20 in Canar, and 30 in Azuay in a therapy and discipleship process that they will multiply in becoming strong healthy families and house churches.
3. Join us in prayer as we continue to work on establishing strong relationships with partnering Wellford Baptist Church, Wellford, SC and their two adopted communities of Zhud and Gonzol. The desired results are at least one house church with one outreach group in each community. Pray as we work on coordinating three to four volunteer mission trips per year to these communities and that God would be in the center of those building long term-relationships.
4. Pray as we visit with our family members in California. That through our time with them, our witness to them would be as such that the unbelieving family will be drawn unto Christ with a commitment to follow in obedience. That the few believing family members would join us through prayer support and what other God would led them to support in.
5. Please be in prayer as we join fellow missionaries with a medical team to Southern Ecuador jungle to work with the Ashuar, There are no believers there but are welcoming a volunteer medical team. Ask the Lord to use this team to open the hearts of a people who have lived and enslaved in the darkness of their different beliefs.
6. Continue to pray for Al’s sister (Margie) who is still battling cancer. She seems to be getting weaker every day though she tries to stay as strong as possible. We thank you so much for praying for her as it is God’s grace that is helping her through it for the past three years.
7. Continue to pray for the Counseling Institute on Saturdays. Pray that the students will continue to strive to prepare for the need of lay counseling.
8. We just want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your faithful prayers for us and the ministry to which we have been called. We continue to see God at work opening new doors and opportunities for ministry and reaching the lost world. May God continue to provide for all of your needs as well.
