Busy Season
Dear Prayer Partners,
Has it really been a month since my last prayer letter? Yikes.! I guess that indicates a busy schedule which includes: weekly preaching, preparing for the new workshop- Striving for Moral Purity, and prep for a few other classes.
And all the other fun time fillers like: birthday celebrations, engagement party (Allison), helping Christy’s family as they get ready to move, Father’s Day, Baby Shower (Elizabeth). And, coming up soon, preparing for our new pastor’s arrival at OIF!
But time has moved on. Pastor Josh is already on the way here. The church council retreat is now past (see right). The Beatitude Series has only 2 more messages and the seminar starts tomorrow, June 23rd. I am excited about it all but have time only to focus on preparing the 5 messages for the workshop.
So do pray as I teach this seminar for the first time. We have invited people from surrounding churches, but it is not an ideal time for many to attend. More importantly, however, it is a spiritual warfare. I will deliberately focus on freeing people from the enslaving power of lusts through the Holy Spirit and God’s Word. I need your prayers. And as a trainer, I am also training them to help train others to do the same.
Your prayers are much appreciated at this significant junction.
Praise!
