CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER REQUESTS
PRAY FOR THOSE WHO BOLDLY SHARE THE GOSPEL HERE AND ABROAD…

* God would help us to effectively communicate that vision to people and churches we make personal appeals to.
* God would help us balance our lives between our fundraising responsibilities and work responsibilities until June.
* God would provide 100% of our support by October 2008. This would give us time to settle in after we move to Australia before the new university year begins.

* Please pray for the on going spiritual growth of our 3 children through their studies and experiences, but also individually:
Rachel- additional finances for seminary studies and future plans after seminary.
Amanda- how best to overcome severe migraines caused by kerosene heating system during the winter in the Japanese schools she teaches. Taking new medication to see if it will help.
Mark- additional finances for finishing his college degree by next summer and future plans after.
* Please pray for Lois and I that our marriage relationship would be nurtured and protected in the power of the Gospel of His Grace.
* For great biblical wisdom for Gary in establishing effective church planting training and coaching within New York City but also within the global cities around the world that we end up partnering with.

Pray for those who share the Gospel in our Community:
* Pray for each incoming member of the Evangelism Explosion team. Pray that God would use each member for their respective duties; one to plant and another to water the seed of the Gospel. Pray that not those who plant and water receive glory, but God who alone can cause the fruit to grow.
* Pray for those who share the gospel at the Ione Youth Facility. Pray that the young men there would hear the gospel and be saved. Pray also that those who are saved will be bold to share their faith with their family and friends.
Prayer is the golden key that can open the wicket of mercy. Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscles of omnipotence.
