Encouragement

We were privileged to speak at First Baptist Church in Russiaville, IN this past Sunday. What a blessing and encouragement they were to our family! Such a small church and yet so full of love! Please pray for us as we begin to get our feet wet in this new portion of our journey. Speaking in front of an audience is not my (Joe) cup of tea. It will stretch me as I learn to depend on God for His message! But we are excited to be out sharing with others about all that God is doing in Benin and in the life of our family as He leads us forward! Please also pray as we contact pastors for additional meetings. We have a meeting scheduled in October and one in November at this present time. Praise the Lord this past month brought two one time gifts to our account at FBM and we learned of another couple with the intent to begin supporting us monthly. God is good and we are so thankful for the generosity of his people. I have challenged Amy and myself to spend a greater amount of time each week in prayer. I passed that challenge on to the First Baptist congregation Sunday. Will you take the challenge too?  Stay tuned for ways that you can pray with us through each week! We value your prayer support!
