Brief Update & Requests for Prayer – October 2009

Dear Beloved Friends and Family,

     Please accept my apology for not being in better communication.  Summer flew by quickly and I have been swept up in the busyness of Fall.  Students returned to school the first week of September and all of us serving the Lord here were extremely excited to have our Café full of youth again!  It is a lot of work for our small team to run the Café daily, but everytime we get to share the Gospel with the youth here we are reminded of how blessed we are to serve the Lord in this place.  God is touching the hearts of the youth of this city and is drawing them to Himself.  Just the other day a young woman came in and asked Kristin, another missionary on our team, if she was going to Heaven!  Kristin was able to sit and share the Word of God with her for an hour.  Such huge open doors like this don’t happen everyday, but God is definitely giving us many opportunities weekly! Please pray for even more! 
         
     I was extremely blessed to go home to CA for a very short trip two weeks ago.  I was thouroughly encouraged by the great love I receive from so many of you.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  I am so grateful to the Lord for the amazing friends and family I have.  Next time I hope to stay longer because there were many of you I did not get to see and talk to. 

Here are a few pictures and some prayer requests:

~ 1 Timothy 2:1-4

Special Prayer Request for Upcoming Outreaches:
This month we are hosting 3 outreach teams back-to-back.  1) A group of American guys just arrived to help us host a Soccer Tournament Outreach.  We rented a field and have been advertising and signing up teams to play in our tournament Saturday, October 17th.  Please pray for many to come and participate, for the weather to be good, and for many to be receptive to the Gospel when we preach at the end of the tournament.  2)  A group from Calvary Chapel Bible College York, England is coming next week to serve alongside us at the Café and on the streets evangelizing.  3)  A third group coming at the end of the month is from Calvary Chapel Bible College Vajta, Hungary.  They too will assist us in ministry at the Café and evangelizing on the streets.  Please pray for all of these teams and for all of the people that we will talk to. Of course there is a lot of practical preparation I need to do in order to host these teams, so please pray for wisdom in that regard.  Pray for strength and endurance and the constant filling of the Spirit.  Pray most of all that God would be glorified and that His desire will be accomplished!

Thank you all for your prayers and support. 
THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED!
