There’s been a few specific things that have been very heavy on my heart lately. These have been my prayers to God as we make this transition in the mission field.
Be with us God. Go before us, prepare and show us the way.
Help us to not worry so much about how “productive” we are, but how close we are to You, the vine. Knowing that if we stay connected to You, You will provide and show us everything we need and what we need to do. When we are overwhelmed, You are not!
That we would do Kingdom work, not mens work. That we would be aware of the Holy Spirit more everyday so that in every situation, we would sense His leading in what to do or say.
That our agenda would come from You. That we would seek You first each day, before we try and figure something out on our own.
HOW YOU CAN PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY:
1. Pray for us as a family to consistently and faithfully stay close to Jesus, the Vine. To seek Him above our work and ministry. Knowing that HE is the whole reason we are doing what we do.
2. For language learning. For us to do what we need to do, learning the language is crucial. Please pray for us to learn Spanish and continue getting better in Creole.
3. For our health. Praying for good health for us all so we can focus on making our home, community and ministry there.
4. For our family to find its new rhythms and times together in the DR, to grow as a family together and in the Lord. We both feel very strongly that the most important work we can do is in our own home. We don’t want to ever neglect our family who God has given us for the sake of ministry.
5. For Zeke to love his new school and teacher. For his teacher to be a wonderful fit for him, that would be exactly who he needs.
6. For the last half of our extra monthly support we need to come in, in the next 45 days before we move to the DR.
7. For Agape to be able to fix their broken plane in Haiti and find more pilots. For our items to be able to arrive before or right when we move to Santiago, Lord willing.
8. As we venture out into the unknown, creating as we go, to help get this field for RMI up and running on the ground. There is so much work to be done, so many people to help and only our family so far to do it. So please be praying for our strength, energy and wisdom on starting this ministry in the DR. Pray for future staff and missionary families/individuals to come join us in the DR as part of this ministry as well.
Prayer is so powerful. Prayer changes things. Thank you for praying for our family and this ministry God has led us to. You are doing AMAZING things for His kingdom!
