August 2024 Prayer Letter

Hi Prayer Partners!

Thank you so much for all your support! We prayed that God would provide allowing me to go to BMM’s required Launch Seminar training week. God provided!! God has not just provided once for this 70% goal to be met, but He has now provided for it to be met for a second time! Before Launch Seminar, God provided through some of you to reach this 70% goal. I was at 71.5% of my needed monthly support.

While at Launch Seminar, we realized that my support estimate had not been changed since 2018. It was necessary, due to changes in the economy, to raise my support goal, which dropped my support level just below 70%. However, once again, God provided through some of you that in the last couple weeks, my support is back up to 70.5%. 😊  God answered our prayers! He provided! Thank you all! 😊

            I would like to share with you all an unexpected blessing.  At 2 partnering churches this summer I had the opportunity to help with their VBS weeks. At one of these 2 churches, God opened my eyes to an unexpected opportunity. We were in the middle of VBS, each of us VBS workers had been working hard keeping the kids occupied and the schedule on track. We had just brought the kids in from game time outside, and decided to have the kids rest for a few minutes and get some water before going on with the next activity. I began asking kids review questions. As I asked, it became apparent that the kids were having difficulty answering. I could have simply given up and continued with the next activity, but we took time right then and there to ask those kids questions that made them think. As we talked about who God is and Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross, and what it means to be saved, God was working on those kids’ hearts. Seeds were planted. I have no doubt that God is continuing to use others to water those seeds. I pray that some day soon, God gets the increase – that those kids will trust Christ as Lord and Savior. I pray that those who have already trusted Christ as Savior will continue to grow in their relationship with Christ! May each of us be praying that God will open our eyes to the opportunities HE provides to share the Gospel with those around us. 😊

            Thank you again for all your faithful prayer support! Prayer support is essential! Thank you to each of you individually and thank you to my partnering church families who have been faithfully praying for me! Hope you all have a good week! 😊 God bless.

God bless.
