3I thank my God
in all my remembrance
of you,
4always offering prayer with
joy
in my every prayer for
you all,
5in view of your
participation in the gospel
from the first day
until now.
6For I am confident of this
very thing,
that He who began a
good work in you
will perfect it until
the day of Christ Jesus.
7For it is only right for me
to feel this way about you all,
because I have you in
my heart…
8For God is my witness,
how I long for you all
with the affection of
Christ Jesus.
Brothers and
Sisters, “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you.”
Oh “how I
long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus”!
First, to
our beloved church in Vivian, Louisiana: How we miss you! You are our church
family and a wonderful gift from God to us. Your love, prayers, and support from the
very beginning have been an unspeakable blessing and encouragement. WE LOVE
AND THANK YOU!
And to ALL
our brothers and sisters in Christ living in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, South
Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New England (and any and all other places not mentioned), we say, THANK YOU, and WE
LOVE YOU!!!!
THANK YOU
for inviting us into your homes and your churches! We are so GRATEFUL
that we have had the opportunity to share with you the ministry of Shattering Darkness—a vitally needed indigenous church-planting ministry in
West Africa.
Thank you for both prayerfully and financially
partnering with us and supporting God’s calling on our lives!
THANK YOU
for being used of God our Father to bring us through just over a year of
spiritual, familial, financial, and physical preparation! Because of YOU, we
have only about 15% left of our budget to raise! YES, 15%!!! THANK YOU!
Because of
YOUR PRAYERS, we are closer today than we ever have been at being free from our
monthly mortgage. Through the Lord's leading, we recently put our house up for rent and believe that soon and very soon the Lord Jesus will bring us
freedom from this monthly burden.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS!!!
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS!!!
It is our hope
and prayer to be leaving for Burkina Faso in about 3 months!
It is our hope
and prayer to be free of the house note (either through sale or rental
of the property) in the next couple of months.
It is our hope
and prayer to have our budget fully, 100% met through special gifts and
monthly pledges by the end of April (if not sooner).
PLEASE
CONTINUE TO PRAY that our faithful Father will call a buyer or renter SOON and
that He will call 25 to 30 new partners who will financially come alongside us on a monthly basis and will help us meet our budget in full.
We are
nearing the finish line…or should I say, THE STARTING LINE!
Please continue
to pray us there. THANK YOU! WE LOVE YOU!
Philippians 1:9-11 (NASB)
9And this I pray,
that your love may abound
still more and more
in real knowledge and
all discernment,
10so that you may approve
the things that are excellent,
in order to be sincere
and blameless
until the day of
Christ;
11having been filled with
the fruit of righteousness
which comes through
Jesus Christ,
to the glory and
praise of God.
