We are not discouraged, but know that all of this comes from being in the successful center of God's will. And with this in mind, we ask that you please join with us in praying for God's continued success and influence amongst the people of NYC.
Prayer Points:
1 - That we suffer well. The Scriptures and history clearly declare that we will suffer in this life, especially if God is using us to reach others apart from Him. The key is not that we avoid suffering, but instead simply suffer well. We want to grow closer to Jesus and be an example of grace in ALL that we do. Pray we don't fail in suffering.
2 - Big Move Coming. February 2011 will mark a huge transition in the life of our church plant. Please pray that us, the church, and the community will be prepared and equipped to meet the high demands, expectations, and challenges that come with reaching more people for Jesus.
3 - Family Health. With three small kids, one which is in school, it seems impossible to keep them healthy. Of course, sick children not only depress their parents, but they also miss or on school and church activities. Please pray that the Lord protects them from sickness and grants them every opportunity to grow in knowing Jesus.
Thank you for praying, and please keep in contact with us. You are a key part of God's success in NYC!
