Weekly Update: 08/19/2013

We hope you have had a wonderful start to your week!

We want to thank you for your faithful support, love and prayers for our family!  We have been blessed by God for having friends like you!

Last week was we had lots of people interested in missions come and visit OMS campus.  Each visit is different and it's wonderful to be able to walk alongside of each one of them as they explore how to better get involved with missions.  These people were looking at positions that included Church Multiplication Facilitator (here's a link for a better definition of a Church Multiplication Facilitator, CMF), field treasurer, videographer, and holistic ministries.  Could you join us in prayer as we follow-up with these individuals and pray that they would continue to act on the Lord's leading in their lives?

This week, Ali and Brie are back in the "Holy Land" (Texas), and are enjoying their time with friends, family and supporters.  Russ and I are trying to survive without them in Indiana.  It's a lot more quiet without the pidder-patter of a toddler running around the house.  Please continue to pray for travel mercies for the girls while they are visiting friends.

At church this week, we talked about Mark 9: 31-40, and the whole sermon emphasized the need for discipleship and the need to be disciplining someone else.  I walked away with the reminder that no matter how far along someone is in their walk with Christ, they need discipleship and have something to offer as a disciple.

We pray that God shows his favor on you!
