Fridays for France, 3-9-12

Hello to all!  Thank you for setting aside some time to pray for us and the work in France today.  In case you missed it, check your email for our March newsletter.  If you're not on our mailing list and want to be added, please let us know!  Here are some ways you can pray specifically this week: 

• Please pray that we will reach 25% of the pledged monthly support that we will need by May. 

• For God to raise up people that can help us with the logistics of our support raising (graphic design, babysitting, prayer support, event planning, etc....).  There's a lot to be done and Michelle and I struggle to find time to do everything, or we lack the skills and knowledge to do some things in a timely manner.  
   
• For one new contact this week that could join our support team

• Please pray for the Huss family.  Noah Huss worked with the U.S. mobilization team in the World Team U.S. office and was killed in a car accident this week.  Pray for his wife Rachel and their three boys 

      Thanks again and remember that we serve a big God!  Have a great week,  The Burches

First Friday for France

"Cease striving, relax, let go" "and know that I AM GOD; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."  -Psalm 46:10

As Brandon said in his post earlier this week, we are going to be more intentional and specific with posting prayer requests each Friday.  We invite you to join us in prayer.  Here are the specifics for this week:

• Pray that God will provide our financial monthly support.  We are currently at just under 10% and have made it our goal to be at 25% by May.  Pray that God will put it on people's hearts to give and/or pledge to give.  
• Pray that we will have more opportunities to share about the needs in France and how people can partner with us in this ministry.   
• Pray for the Shorbs who moved to France just over a year ago to do church planting.  They have two sons, one born since they moved there.  You can find out more about their adventures here.

Thanks so much for praying with us.  We look forward to updating you on God's goodness each week as well!
