Here are a couple of specific praises and prayer requests...
- Our House.
- We are so thankful for the blessing of our current house. For the proximity to the Emmanuel. For the opportunity we have had to meet and get to know our neighbors.
- We would appreciate your prayers for wisdom. We are not sure where the LORD is leading us at the same we understand this is a good market for homes and after July 4th is not.
- Pray for wisdom in deciding on and finishing projects around the house.
- Pray for wisdom about when to put our house on the market. We are talking with people next week about what to do. There are many things to consider. But we know that God is sovereign.
- Our ministry
- Please for EBC's Sonshine Carnival (6.17) and Vacation Bible School (6.18-6.22). This has been a great opportunity to connect with many different people in the community and we are looking for even more opportunities this year. Last night I did the Kid's Group Leader training. We talked about the Bible stories the kids will be learning and how the leaders can use them throughout the night. I shared the notes HERE. The theme verse is Proverbs 3:5-6.
- It has been my prayer to help Emmanuel Baptist Church (the pastors and the people) transition well. Pray for those who will be taking up my responsibilities. Pray for Pastor Duke as he leads the church. Pray for all the people Pray everyone would desire to glorify God by making disciples who are submitted to His Lordship, grounded in His teaching and sincere in His love.
- Camp Patmos camp season is starting up very soon.
- The staff is on the island getting their training. Pray for David Sellers, his family and the staff as they prepare for the summer.

- I will be at Camp Patmos speaking at Junior week (4th-6th graders) the week of July 17-22. Pray for my preparation and the preparation of the other speakers.
- God has blessed us with a number of ministry possibilities. Pray for discernment as we begin to sort through the ones we have received and will be receiving. We want to be prayefully trusting in our sovereign God as we make these decisions
- Our family
- We have begun working on the weekly Fighter Verses as a family. Pray that we would be growing closer and closer to God and one another as we work through these verses.
