Prayer Requests

Thank you for lifting our family up in prayer.  We definitely need it.  We wanted to update you on a few things about our ministry here.

We have enjoyed getting to know the youth each week, but, as we have shared before, there are a lot of challenges.  Many of them do not know anything about what it means to have a relationship with the Lord.  We have just started breaking into small groups (girls and guys separated) for a time of discussion so that we can begin to go deeper.  Please pray with us that God opens their eyes to their lostness and to their need for Him.  Please pray that God gives us words to say so that we can accurately portray the gospel to them.

One of the kids in our youth group just lost his mother yesterday, and his father has also been in the hospital with heart issues.  Please pray with us for this family. They do not know the Lord, so we are praying that God can draw their hearts to Him through this tragedy.

Scott's parents just left last week to head to Papua New Guinea to be with Scott's brother and his family.  Scott's dad and brother will be traveling up into the tribe by helicopter and will finish getting supplies ready to build their house.  Scott will then be going with a team in March to build their house!

Please pray with us that Northwest Community Church will be able to raise support for this trip. Plane tickets alone cost about $3000, so this is a huge stretch for the families who are going.  If you would like to partner with Northwest Community Church, please contact us.  We can use all the support and prayers we can get!

Scott has started substitute teaching, and Amilee is enjoying her job.  God is providing, and we are thankful for that.

Our children are adjusting well, but they talk about their friends in Macon frequently.  It is a good time for us to explain to them how we must be willing to follow the Lord whenever and wherever. Thank you for your prayers.  We certainly need them!
