Prayer Letter — July / August 2024

Dear Pastor and Church,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your impact in our ministry. Traveling church to church and meeting wonderful people has come with many blessings. We are so grateful to the Lord for allowing us to serve Him!

So far we have traveled to 10 states, drove 30k miles and have seen A LOT of road. God has kept us safe — Praise the Lord for His protection. These last few months we have been presenting in TX, MO and preached at a two day youth camp in Washington State. From the time we arrived it was evident that the group of young people there had a heart for the Lord and desire to hear from Him.

These upcoming months we will be presenting in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. We have a couple of missions conferences and a family camp. Please be in prayer with us for our travels, us to be a blessing to those we cross paths with, and our support to continue to rise. Glory be to God we hit 35%, We are so excited we are that much closer to getting to Portugal.

Portugal is starting to make changes to their visa laws that are more strict. Although we don't quite know what all it entails, we know that it is God's will for us to be there so He will make a way! Please be in prayer as we try and navigate what we need to do and how the Lord would like us to go forward. We covet your continued prayers as we continue on the deputation trail.

God Bless!

Traveling Safety During Deputation

Pray for traveling safety as we drive church to church across the country during deputation.

We had no wrecks and believe it or not, no tickets! God kept us safe through all our deputation travels.
