January Praise and Prayer

As we head into the new year, we have much to both praise God for in the last month, and to pray for in the month and year ahead.

Praises (We praise God...)
1)For a great time at home (Chicago & Paw Paw) visiting with friends and family! We only wish we would have had more time to connect with more people. We are sorry if we missed you.
2)For a great wedding open house at Lawton EMC! We are humbled by the love and support we were shown.
3)For Josie being approved by the state of California to practice physical therapy here!
4)For the funding needed to purchase property here in Richmond for transitional/discipleship housing for men and/or women!
5)For partnerships being established with the Boys & Girls Club and Richmond High School!
6)For our faithful and generous supporters who make is possible for us to be doing ministry here!

Prayer Requests (Please pray with us...)
1)That we would grow in our intimacy with Christ and our love for Him.
2)For wisdom as we learn each other and what it means to love and serve each other well as husband and wife.
3)That God would direct us (the church) to the right housing to be used for transitional/discipleship housing.
4)For me this Sunday morning as I present the ministry of Safe Families to our congregation. Pray that our church would serve our neighborhood and city well with this needed ministry.
5)For us as we begin two new series: the Fruits of the Spirit (on Saturday mornings) and the book of James (on Sunday mornings). I will be preaching this Saturday on Love (Galatians 5:22).
6)We own a condo in Branson, Missouri (where Josie lived before we got married). Please pray with us that we would find a renter soon!
