Prayer update

Dear friends,

Thank you for standing behind us in prayer. This season of building a financial support team is not exactly what we call 'fun'. Though there are exciting days when we see God provide through His people and when God is obviously working in our own lives, there are also many days where we are just plain tired. Physically tired because of a full plate, emotionally tired at the thought of uprooting and moving to another culture and mentally tired when we see no progress.

Praise points:
- Praise God for adding new members to our support team. We are now at 24% confirmed with another estimated 5% unconfirmed.
- Praise Him for growing Grace's business with essential oils. It is not at the stage yet where it is providing income for missions, but it has proven to be a great ministry tool!
- Praise God for you who faithfully pray for us!
- Praise God for working in our lives, drawing Him closer to His heart.

Prayer points:
- Pray for physical and emotional rest and that we may embark on this mission not in our own strength but fueled by His power.
- Pray for the transition at work. Pray for wisdom as I train new crew leaders, that I will know how to correct and sharpen them in an encouraging way.
- Pray for unity in our family, that instead of drifting apart we may grow closer together during this time of challenge and change.
- Pray that people will be sensitive to God calling them to be part of our support team.
- Pray that we will have the wisdom to know what our part is in this and then leave the rest up to Him.

In His Service,
Jonathan
