" Who
has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it?"
Lamentations 3:37ESV
We have seen so many prayers answered over the
last few months. We have been blessed by being accepted by
TEAM, we were given the opportunity to bond with our future church
planting teammates, the Rogersons, and now we have been blessed with
a pregnancy that is the answer to years of prayer. Join with
us as we praise the giver of all good things and ask for Him to
expand His kingdom through us.
1. Pray
that we would make wise use of our limited time. We want to be diligent
so that we can get to the field as soon as possible.
2. Pray that we would quickly reach the prayer and financial support
needed to sustain a fruitful ministry in Europe.
3. Pray that we would have opportunities to share
about our future ministry in Trieste
4. Pray for the beautiful new life that is growing inside of my
beautiful wife.
5. Pray for Joshua as he prepares for
ordination

"Train yourself for godliness"
1 Timothy 4:7b
We will be returning to TEAM's headquarters
in February for what they call "Phase 2" training. Please pray
that ...
1. We will be good learners.
2. The funds for the trip and the training.
3. We need wisdom in regards to whether we should
drive (13+ hours if I drive, 11 if Joanna drives :)) or fly.
Also, lodging is an issue. TEAM charges from $41 to $45 per
night for lodging.
4. We aren't missionaries yet. It is
hard to take time off of work.
Deputation has begun. The task is
overwhelming, but we are excited to see how the Lord is going to
provide. Please Pray that God will lead us to the right
churches and places to develop both prayer and financial partners.

"For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we
should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10
We are now Appointees.
We have come a long way to get to this point and we have a long way
to go before we are ministering on the field.
1. Pray for diligence so that we can get to
the field as soon as possible.
2. Pray that God will move in the hearts of the
people we will come into contact with both here and in Italy.
We want what St. Patrick prayed for himself: "Christ to be in
the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of
everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ
in every ear that hears me." (To download all of Patrick's prayer
