October Praise & Prayer

(A sister from our church gave us free tickets to a Cal Berkeley football game. We had a great day with Aaron & Isaiah Roy!)

(Family time outside of Chinatown in Vancouver)

Praises (Praise God with us for…)

A great start to our AWANA Club. We have been averaging 20 clubbers our first few weeks, and our volunteer turnout from our church has been very encouraging. (Please continue to pray for our club that meets on Thursday nights.)

A restful fall getaway with my parents to Vancouver, British Columbia. It was a perfectly timed get away, and it was very refreshing for Josie and I.

The opportunity to take Bible classes together through the Downline Institute. We are so grateful to have the chance to get this training together!

The “Red Letter Series” and how God’s Word has been challenging us, and showing us our need for Jesus. You can listen to the sermons here.

(Josie enthusiastically "sets the tone" for this AWANA night!)

(Some of our TNT boys at the end of Bible time at AWANA)


Prayer requests (Please pray with us for…)

Balance for Josie and I (time with the LORD, ministry, work, classes, exercise, intentional time together, community)

Our Halloween Outreach on Wednesday October 31st. We are going to stand on the street corners surrounding our church to pass out candy, and also organize games for the kids. We are praying that this intentional relationship presence on this high traffic night would be a great opportunity to serve our community, and build new relationships.

A Christ-centered unity amongst the leadership of our church that would be contagious in the body.

For unity in our Nation and in the American church as we head into this election season. Pray with us that we would all love democrats, republicans, and independents well!

The final two team meals and chapel talks with the Richmond High School Oilers. Please pray that seeds would continue to be planted, and that relationships would be built. Coach Merriweather and I will also be talking about other ways in the future that we can collaborate to build into the lives of the young men.

(Here are some of the Richmond Oilers after their first victory of the season this past Friday!)

(These are some of the teens that I spend time with and speak to every Tuesday night at the Bay Area Rescue Mission's Youth Outreach program.)
