In July we began the support raising process of meeting with people and sharing the vision of our role at Naomi’s Village. We have already seen God bring a variety of people into our lives to partner with us, and have felt blessed through this process.

The past few weeks we have also started to clean out our house of things we know we won’t need, such as our large fish tank and other items we won’t be bringing to Kenya. We have been grateful for the words of encouragement that many of you have shared with us along the way. Thank you

As I was reading Colossians 1 this morning, I was reminded of our need to continue praying. Paul had never even met the church in Colossae and yet we find out that in verse 9 he was continually praying for them.

“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.”

Liz and I would ask that this prayer be one of the ways you would pray for our family. We want to know Gods desire for us and we want to grow in our knowledge of Him, so that, we can make much of Him through our actions (fruit). One of the privileges for us, is to also being praying for you who are supporting us both financially and prayerfully in the same way. We look at our relationship with you as a partnership.

A few other things to pray for:

In September, Kevin Perkins,(the Naomi’s Village president) will be going to Kenya to negotiate details for the land and future house that will be built for us. Pray that God would handle the details and that this would allow a great partnership between Naomi’s Village and Moffatt Bible College.

For our family during this next year as we lead the youth ministry at WSBC and make preparations to go.

So far our boys, Jaden and Josiah, are very excited about our move to Kenya. We are grateful to God that he has given them both such adventurous spirits. Please pray that God would give them a desire to serve the orphans in Kenya.

For His Name
