Thank you for journeying with us! We treasure your investment of prayer into our family and this church plant.
Strengthening Prayer
Prayer is the most important way we can partner together. There are many needs in and around planting this church and they can all be met and provided for through prayer.
Paul prayed for the church in the city of Ephesus that they would be strengthened for mission, “That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being” (Ephesians 3:16). We pray that prayer for you as well: that God will strengthen your soul with His powerful Spirit. Would you join us in praying that prayer for us? We would be most grateful.
Specific Requests
Here are a few specific things you can join us in praying for during the month of November...
Funding
As you know, we are raising the full financial support of this church plant. Different than receiving direct funding from mission boards and organizations, we are planting this church through the generosity of other churches, individuals, and families. We are 30% funded and hope to be 60% funded by January 1. Would you join us for praying for the necessary financial backing to plant this church?
Recruiting
We are incredibly excited to have three families committed on our launch team to help plant this church. We are praying for a group of adults to constitute the core team that will move to London to plant this church. We have seen loads of people over our last few interest meetings and this greatly encourages us. We are now entering into a followup/discernment process to help people figure out whether London is the next step for each individual.
Rest
This has been a busy season for our family and we are working to carve out some pockets of time to be together and recover from the work of ministry. We’re learning to respect the physical, emotional, and spiritual limitations God has provided for us. Pray that God would help us to trust him enough to take breaks, honor the Sabbath, and cherish the times we have together as a family.
Thank You

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
