France Friday, 9/14/12

Our "40 Days for France" have come and gone but there's still a ton to be praying for.  Here are some upcoming items for prayer.  We thank God for you! 

Prayer Needs:

• We leave for vacation this Sunday, the 16th!  We're meeting up with John and Donna, Aunt Bev and Uncle Robert, as well as Andrea and the cousins for some time at the beach.  Pray for our travels and that it will be a time of rest, renewal, and great memories made with our family.
• It's actually our anniversary on the 17th as well.  Pray that God will continue to draw us closer to him and to each other.  
• I'm helping to fill a need to lead worship temporarily for about 6 weeks at Fayette Baptist Church in Oakland.  Pray that God will use us there for His glory and that we can build new relationships with families there.  
• I've written a letter to the owner of the company I work for, Top Rx, asking Him to considering sponsoring us.  Pray that God will grant us favor in his eyes.  
• I've also written a letter to the leadership at Bartlett Hills Baptist Church asking them to consider formalizing their partnership with in the near future.  Pray for God's wisdom and direction.  
• Also we're waiting to hear from Love Worth Finding ministries to further discuss how they can be involved in our ministry through World Team.  
• It seems to me that any "faith journey " these days inherently includes finances in some way.  That's true for us not only in our support raising but we are trusting God to provide for our needs while we are still in the states.  He's always been faithful and we know that He always will.  Thanks for praying with us for His providence. 
• On that same note, I've been having trouble with my car for a few months and have not yet found a solution.  Please pray that God will take care of that need. 
• We'll be moving again in January, either towards our pre-field training course in North Carolina or to the missionary apartments at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary.  Either way, most of our possessions will not be going with us!  Pray as we prepare for our next move. 
• Also, on Oct. 7th Fayette Baptist is having their "vision night" in which they present their direction for their new church.  Part of their presentation will include their partnership with our church planting efforts in France!  Pray for a unified vision amongst the families there. 

Upcoming Events:

• "Fete de la Musique"- We will have live music and art for sale at Bartlett Hills Baptist Church on Saturday, October 20th.  We are still looking for people to perform and/or provide art.  Please let us know if you are interested and we will get details to you.  Make sure you come by to see us if nothing else!
• We will be having another yard sale in the fall...be looking for more details to come soon.

 Micah takes our love for the beach to a whole new level!  And yes that is Micah when he was Asher's age!  We will see you when we get back.
