In keeping with the spirit of being diligent, I thought I would shoot a few prayer requests your way. We are preparing to take a trip in October to spend some much-needed time with family, friends, and financial partners, as well as to encourage and serve various churches in the Phoenix area. It has been two years since we have been back to Arizona. The vast majority of the trip will be spent doing ministry and reconnecting with the many friends we have in that area. The trip itself will be about 4 weeks long, which means we would love prayer for a few specifics:
1. TRAVELING MERCIES. We are going to take our time driving out to Arizona from Kansas City, rather than flying. Our two-year old is wonderful, but we would love prayer for our little sweetheart to be content despite the long drive. Since I will be half-way through pregnancy when we embark, I would love prayer for physical strength. My midwife has o.k.’d the trip, but aches and pains come with the territory. Most importantly, though, we would love prayer for our safety!
2. FINANCES. Unfortunately, to do a support-raising/ministry trip of this kind we have to… you guessed it, raise money. It’s an adventure for sure. We have yet to nail down all of the expenses we are needing to prepare for since we are still landing the last of the details, but we would greatly appreciate prayer for provision for the trip.
3. DISCERNMENT. There has been no want of opportunity for this trip, but we truly want to be obedient to where the Lord wants us to both build financial relationships, as well as to minister.
We invite you to consider giving, and would deeply appreciate your prayers.
