This is a blog for the millions of people that need
prayer all around the world. There have been many
people on our hearts and each new country brings new people to pray for. Just a
few that we can share are:
·
Trevor, our squad mate recovering from all four strands of Malaria, now needing long term health protection
·
Our families health, protection, and trust in
God as we serve far away
·
The boy I met on the streets in Kenya,
struggling to trust that God is good and getting his physical needs met
·
Our home church, Gateway ministries: for God to continue to move on Kauai!
·
Financial support for our whole squad to come in by the end of October. ($27,000 for our Squad, $2,000 for our portion)
Prayer is asking God to do something that we cannot do,
being done by nobody’s personal strength. Having faith and trusting God can do
it.
“…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and
effective” (James 5:16).
We want to thank everyone that has been praying for us this year.
Through your prayers, we have remained healthy and strong. You’ve
helped open doors for ministry. You’ve helped grow the Kingdom of God around the world. You’ve helped us overcome tremendous hurdles of conflict that we didn’t even realize. You’ve helped our marriage grown stronger every day!
So many times throughout the year we cannot fall asleep or
are woken up around 2-3a.m. This is by no chance. God wakes us up to intercede
on the behalf of others.
We invite all to
comment back with prayer requests so we can help fight for you and rejoice when God answers your prayers!
Sometimes prayers are answered immediately and other times
you can grow weary in a long battle. But God has won the battle and will come
back again to bring His Kingdom to reign. We have hope and trust in God’s will,
whether we understand or not.
Luke 18: 1 pray
consistently and never quit.
We ask that if you believe and trust in God, who sent Jesus
Christ for us, and have faith that miracles can and do happen, to pray for the
things listed above and those that others comment. Prayer can be an exhausting battle,
but God answers in His timing, not ours.
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God:
that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that
he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him”
(1 John 5:14-15).
