1) For our support.
- Our account has actually dropped into the negatives by $4000 because the last three months we have not met our target for financial donations and we needed to purchase plane tickets for our family to return to the USA. I think that people have slowed down there giving because we were returning.. However, we actually need all of our faith promise partners to continue giving even while we are stateside.
For example: this month October... so far only 1/10th of our donations have come in.
PRAYER NEED- Please pray that our partners would continue to give while we are stateside. Because we need all of our donations to continue to come in so that the ministries can continue to run in Australia while we are here in the US. And, especially so we can do our partnership development in 6 months.
2) Currently we need to raise
- 200 prayer partners
- $25,000 in Faith Promise ( New partners) Our new budget will take effect in December.
-$26,000 in one time gifts
PRAYER NEED- Please pray that we would be able to connect with new churches that have not heard about our ministry in Australia. Please pray specifically for Chris and I as we contact churches in our home districts in CNY and WNY. Pray that they would be open to hearing what God is doing in Australia and willing to partner through financial means or prayer.Pray that we would be able to fill our schedule with connecting with all of our current partners as well as book in the new churches.
3) Pray for the Staff of the Landsdale Church while we are away.
-Please pray for the Matteson Family- The landsdale Community Church brought them on staff for one year to be our Family Ministry Coordinators while Chris and I were on partnership development. Please pray for guidance, strength, wisdom, courage, and of course blessings as they are working hard every day with the families of the Landsdale Church while they keep our small groups, AWANA, and Youth Group ministries continuing in our absence. This is a big job!!
- Please pray for Lindsay and Rosalea Cameron- Lindsay will be the supply pastor of the Landsdale Community Church while we are here in on partnership development. Pray for the Cameron's to also connect with our families and be able to minister to these families in a way we have not been able to! We pray that God would bless them as they work full time, study, and pastor the Landsdale church.
4) Please pray for the ministries of the landsdale Church
- AWANA (kids ministry)
- Youth Group
- Small group Bible Studies
-Young Adults
- Carols in the Park
-Family Outreach events
5) Please pray for Chris and I as we are stateside and continue to carry out our local church and district responsibilities for Australia. Pray that we would have time to achieve goals that we were not able to do while in Australia due to time constraints. Pray for us as we offer guidance and council from here and that God would guide and direct everything we say and do.
6) Pray for us to connect with people here to help us grow spiritually so that we can take back amazing perspective and ideas and creativity when we go back to Australia.
7) Pray for us to have driving mercies and for our car to not have any mechanical dramas!
8) Pray for our Travel Schedule Pray for the churches we have been to and for their missions committees. Pray for the churches especially as they are taking faith promises and discerning where God wants them to partner and how they can make missions a part of their church ministries! Please pray for us as we book up the rest of our schedule.
