Praying for a Place in SPACE

One of our primary goals in the coming months is to seek a people and a place. We believe that God has already prepared a small group of people that will join us in mission and ultimately become the core team of a future church plant. We just haven’t met them yet. Yesterday (2011-07-25 – Monday) we took a family field trip along the Atlantic coast (near Cape Canaveral) getting to know the towns along Highway 1. This is one of the areas that we are praying over. In the picture below we are driving over one of the many huge bridges that connect the mainland to a long strip of beach that runs for miles along the coast.

Next week we are going to take a similar trip just north of Orlando to investigate another area. It is exciting to drive through these areas looking at businesses and churches and neighborhoods. Sandy and I spend that time praying and dreaming together about who we might meet someday in these communities.

Every time I shake a hand of a new person that I have met and every time I drive through a new community I wonder, “Is this person going to become a future partner in ministry? Is this the neighborhood that God is going to use our family to ignite a gospel movement?”
We invite you to join us in prayer that God would cause us to meet with just the right people in just the right place in His perfect time and according to His perfect plan.
The Lord Bless You & Keep You

How to Pray ::

• Prayer for us as we search for a people and a place for the church plant.
• Jeremiah is now in his third week in the CrossPointe office. Pray for Jeremiah as he establishes a routine.
• We have begun reserving our Friday evenings specifically for meeting the people in our immediate neighborhood. Pray that God would own our home and our lives to those around us.
• Pray for our fundraising efforts, that we will approach this process with humility and faith.
