Hello! It’s officially summer! And Happy Father’s Day to all of you dads. Hope you had a great day…

This week, can you please cover me in prayer:

• as I process all the information that’s been fed to me over the last two weeks
• as we discern God’s heart for integrating our mentor network a little more with global impact and how that might play out this fall
• as we continue to explore a new approach for international teams
• as we take a few more steps toward a test run for domestic efforts

Thanks! Enjoy your summer!

Hi! Hope your past week was as full of God’s mercy as mine was and you can see more to come! Thanks for praying for us at our staff retreat. We were so blessed with a beautiful environment, great weather, and significant time together. We walked away with some short-term goals that helped clarify our next steps.

This week, could you please pray for me during:

• a three day conference (Monday-Wednesday)  to learn about worship technology…this will be helpful both in my own ministry at my home church and in helping our teams focus and prepare for their ministry trips around the world
• a short update presentation to a gathering of outreach leaders at my church on Saturday morning…and to receive divine inspiration in the days leading up to it so I’ll know how to communicate His heart for me in this ministry within 5-7 minutes
• Thursday-Saturday, to make up for not being able to begin on Mon-Wed to tackle that long list of steps toward our six-month goals
• His peace and power to carry me through a packed week…and discipline to go to bed early and get consistent exercise! I forget sometimes how it’s the basic stuff that makes a way for the spiritual stuff.

Thanks so much! Have a great week!

Hello! It’s a beautiful June day here in So Cal. Hope it’s just as nice wherever you are…

This week (and next) will be pretty “active.” Please pray for:

• our first overnight staff retreat…it was hard to even find one two-day/one-night period to meet, and we finally settled on June 9-10. Pray we will bless one another as we bless God in our service to Him. And we’ll be humble enough to slow down and receive from Him, as well.
• the Lausanne conversation on June 10, 7pm, Saddleback Community Church. I’ll be going (because it’s free! ) to get to know that movement a little more personally, to network, and to fellowship with that community.
• personal growth in how I worship God and how I integrate that into my life, WFI or otherwise…
• a keen spiritual awareness of the movement of God throughout this week. With so much activity, it’s easy to just look at the surface of situations and not dig deeper. Still, I want everything He has for me in all that is happening.

Thanks so much! Hope you have a wonderful week. Let me know how I can be praying for you, too…

Hi! Hope you’re doing well! It’s definitely been an interesting few weeks in Global Impact land. Your prayer support is indispensable!

This week, could you please pray:

• I will quickly and obediently fall in line under the protection of the Holy Spirit–been sensing significant spiritual resistance from the enemy lately as we explore a new option that looks quite promising
• for God to release more of His favor as we try to move forward in planning our first domestic program test-run–perfect dates, affordable rates, lasting strategic friendships
• for meetings with “persons of peace” (Luke 10.6) in our own backyard! And that I would carry increasing measures of the peace of Christ with me to extend to them.

Thanks so much! Greater and greater blessings to you this week…

Hello! Hope your week is off to a good start…is it really the middle of May already?!

This week, could you focus your intercession on strengthening my faith? Been sensing the need to believe before I see, so please pray

• God will grant greater faith to proclaim He is victorious before it happens
• God will give me eyes to see beyond the natural to spiritual reality and to act accordingly
• God will direct me to the peace and wisdom of His presence in the places I am prone to be anxious

Thanks! I’m definitely feeling more desperate for Him this week! Uncomfortable, but (in a strange way) an answer to prayer.
