Praying is Investment and Praying for Investment

You remember that last month we asked you to pray for our children and the relationships they are building in Orlando. Well, within days Eli and Titus were asked by a little 10-year-old girl to be a part of a play that she had written and was going to perform at her home. This family isn’t even from our church and yet God, through a web of His own making, connected us to them.

Eli was cast as Jesus and Titus played the dual roles of “leper” and “boy raised from the dead”. They spent Monday and Tuesday afternoons practicing and we watch the debut performance last night. It was wonderful to see such creativity in this small group of children and to see our children joining right in.

We asked for prayer … you prayed … our good God was pleased to give.

Praying is Investment and Praying for Investment ::

Because of your great faithfulness to pray for us (and the kindness of many of you in financial investment) I want to share with you these three specific prayer needs.

1) Please pray for our faith and perseverance as we await God’s perfect provision for our needs in the coming months and year.

• God has provided two separate grants through the Illiana & Florida Classis and the RCA Church Multiplication office for $15,000 each.
• As we left First Reformed Church in Sheboygan Falls we were abundantly blessed and encouraged by numerous financial gifts to aid in our move and send us into mission.
• We have received a number of monthly commitments and have received such joy and connection with our friends around the country as we have begun to receive the first of these gifts.
• Though we are short of our financial needs for the year we see these investments as signs of God’s blessing as we pursue His call.

2) Please pray about personally investing financially.

• I want to emphasize that this is a prayer request and not a giving request alone.
• We need to raise an additional $2,500 in monthly commitments within the next 60 days. These commitments will fund the remainder of my apprenticeship at CrossPointe Church (Check the bottom of the page). These commitments along with future grants will also carry us into the first months of the church plant next year.
• For more information about investing in our church planting mission visit our Online Giving Page or download a Donor Commitment Card.

3) Please pray about connecting us to others who would consider investing.

• Most of the people that provided for Paul during His missionary journeys Paul did not even know before he began. It was because of the hospitality of many partners in the gospel that God planted the seed of the gospel through His ministry.
• Please share our website information (JeremiahFyffe.com/prayer) with others who you think would consider joining us in this endeavor in both prayer and financial investment. I would love the opportunity to share our vision with others whom you would recommend.

How to Pray ::

• Pray for our fundraising efforts, that we will approach this process with humility and faith.
• We thank God for some of the connections that our kids have made even in the last week! Thank you for your prayer so quickly answered by the steadfast love of our God!
• Pray for our Mondays as we continue to commit Monday afternoons for our search for a location for the future church plant.
• We have begun reserving our Friday evenings specifically for meeting the people in our immediate neighborhood. Pray that God would open our home and our lives to those around us.
