"See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand." James 5:7-8
- Caitlin came down with the flu last night. Please pray that she gets better quickly. I'm supposed to leave for a church planting conference in Orlando this Wednesday, please pray that God will keep Ann and I from getting sick while I'm away. Please pray that my time at the conference will be a very beneficial time.
- Ann and I continue to develop new relationships and are continuing to nurture relationships we have built since moving. James 5:7-8 has been impressed on my heart - please pray these verses with me.
- We're beginning the very early stages of recruiting the launch team. We're looking for 45-100 people (ideally) that have hearts like Missionaries to the people of South Mishawaka and match the values and vision of Epic Church that God has put on our hearts. Please pray for God to go before us and to give us much needed wisdom and discernment as we start this process.
- Please pray for God to continue to provide financially. This has been extra challenging with the economy.
- Please pray for God's hand of protection to be on our family: Physically, emotionally, & spiritually. Pray too that He will continue to meet our needs.
Praise:
- Ann, Caitlin and I are grateful for our home and are continuing to get settled and unpacked after living out of suitcase for 4 months. The time we had with our parents was a wonderful time for Caitlin to bond with her grandparents. It's really neat to see this... she has 4 awesome grandparents!
- Ann and I have had opportunities to meet some of our neighbors and we're excited to develop these relationships. One of our neighbors who also just move in, were actually a part of a church plant several years ago... pretty cool!
- Ann and I have had meetings with some churches that are considering partnering with us. We were encouraged by our times with them and are prayerfully hopeful for their partnership.
- We are continuing to develop relationships with our friends in South Mishawaka and we're just loving these people and our times together.
- Our family and "long time" friends have been an incredible inspiration and encouragement to us.
