We cannot express our deepest gratitude enough for your faithful prayer and support for us as we work and minister internationally. God bless you abundantly for your sacrifice!
In spite of not getting away for a break this year, and entering the fall feeling somewhat fatigued, we have felt renewed in our spirits and full of fresh vision and expectation as we have waited on the Lord. This past year, we went to 2 nations that are high on the list to get new long term teams into to do work among unreached people groups. Thank you for helping us get there and scout out these opportunities. The open doors are significant. We are sensing the Lord saying “yes” and that He is readying the places and the hearts of the new workers that He has been preparing all along.
Personally, we are believing for restoration of things that have been lost. We are believing for an impartation of the Holy Spirit that will make the “impossible” possible! We believe that there is going to be an acceleration – that things that could take a long time in the natural are going to happen quickly.
Would you believe with us and pray to this end – for EXPECTATION, RESTORATION, IMPARTATION, and ACCELERATION. Years ago in Zambia, it felt like we were riding a wave, as we watched God move in great power for an extended period of time (years). We believe, by faith, that we are going to see that again. That wave is coming and we need to get ready!
Frontline Workers
Next week, we leave for the Middle East. There, we will be working with ACOP global workers on the ground in moving towards the “next steps” of seeing the church planted there. Please pray for the leading of the Lord in every meeting. There are 8 small missionary children, and 14 adults on this ACOP Global Harvest team. Pray that we will be an encouragement, have wisdom and insight and a word in season for these pioneer, frontline workers.
Would you pray for our family – Jared and Lexi as they work and Sam and Josh in University. These types of trips usually result in warfare that can affect our whole family. Last time we went to the Middle East, Jerry was viciously attacked by a pit bull right before our trip! The warfare has already begun in a number of areas. Thank you for standing with us in prayer and finances as we continue to reach out globally in missions work.
