Sunday

The heavens declare the glory of God;

and the firmament shows His handiwork.  

Day unto day utters speech,

and night unto night reveals knowledge.  

There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.”

~Psalm 19:1-3~

 

Dear Partners In Prayer:
Marilyn and I continue to rejoice at God’s faithfulness in our lives as a couple,and how he is choosing to use us in ministry at FT Campbell and beyond.

1). Please continue to pray for the lives that were impacted at VBS at FT Campbell. Pray that we will see “Fruit That Remains”!

2). Pray for Marilyn and I as we will be leading the “Bridges To Healing” Christ Centered Solutions For Combat Trauma starting Sept. 5th. Also pray for the small group Bible study “Courageous Honor Begins At Home” that will begin. Sept. 5th.

3). The 101st Airborne will start deploying again in Sept. For some of these men and women it will be their 4th deployment! Pray for safety,and opportunities to share Jesus with those who do not know Him personally.

4). Marilyn and I still see the need to be closer to FT Campbell. Until we can sell our house pray the Lord may open up doors for us to have lodging available so we can minister more effectively to our men and women in uniform.
