Prayer Down Under
Many of you have asked, "How can we pray for you?" We are thankful that our family and friends would lift us up before the throne of God in prayer. Below you will find some specific prayer request and specific ministry times you can pray for us.
Specific Prayer Request:
· We want to reflect the love of Christ and be open vessels to be used by God.
· To form relationships quickly with those in Portland.
· We make quick adjustments to the culture and ministry opportunities in a new place.
· Health; specifically no migraine headaches for Christy
· Traveling Safety for Michael and Christy (with planes, trains, and automobiles)
· Camden and Bailey while spending 3 weeks with Grandparents.
· Energy for Grandparents.
· We have never been apart from our children for this length of time. Pray that the Holy Spirit provides peace and we don’t succumb to worry or fear.
· We are also taking a week of vacation from August 1– August 8th. Pray for us that we may have a great time of rest and refreshment.
