Great time of prayer

Last night, my wife and I attended a WMU meeting we were invited to so that we could raise prayer support for our upcoming trip into the harvest field in South Asia. We spoke for 10 minutes about where we are going and the lostness of where we are being sent, so that we can gather as much prayer support for going as possible. We feel that putting faces to names helps people to pray for us, because we are now actual people instead of just names on a sheet of paper or prayer card. Thank you to all who were there last night and committed to pray for us.

We were also priviledged to listen to a dear friend of ours speak; Tina Hutchison, who is one of the most amazingly Spirit filled ladies we know. She leads her own ministry, Holding Out Hope Ministries, in which she leads a choir of ladies every week at one of the local prisons here and inspires them to rise up and be what God created them to be despite their circumstances. She is so inspiring, and has such a huge heart, she affects so many lives around her. She is incredibly gifted by God with a voice that can draw the Holy Spirit and make the most conservative of church goers stand up and raise their hands to the Lord. Please visit her site and see the great things that God is doing through this lady. We are so blessed to know her and her family. Too bad we can't take her with us into the field!

God has blessed us incredibly with people who have inspired, encouraged and lifted us up during this journey in our lives. Thank you Jesus, for all your blessings upon us.
