Prayers Requested

The summer is over and winter is approaching rapidly, although it's hard to believe as I sit here in Minnesota in my shorts with the a/c on.

  Our church (Evergreen New Hope) is sending a construction missions team to Cameroon Africa in 

January 2015.  I don't know if you have ever been on a mission trip before but there is much to be done in the next few months.  We head into this week asking for prayer for those who are considering being part of this team.  We are praying for skilled workers who will make valuable use of the time in Africa.  We need a commitment by next Sunday and for some it is a hard decision.  We ask that God give them courage as they face being uncomfortable and stretched: physically, spiritually and financially.  We know that we cannot do anything on our own but only through God's strength and through your prayers.

I will be communicating prayer requests and updates through this blog, so if you would be willing to pray for the team please sign up to get updates on this blog.  Pass this along to those you know who would be willing to hold the team up in prayer.  I will fill you all in on what they will be doing on a future blog post.  

Blessings to you all for your willingness to join us in prayer.  We are already feeling the effects of the spiritual battle that always comes when we step out in faith to do something beyond the normal in serving God.
