Smith Prayer & Praise - April 2007
Use the link below for some April prayer items. Thanks for taking us before God's throne!
Here are a few items to keep in prayer for us. As always, visit our website to view some new photos: http://www.smithconnection.com/2007/03/photos_april_2007.html
--> This month please begin to pray for the conclusion of our home assignment and for our transition back to Mexico. Our departure date of July 2 is quickly approaching! There are many requests related to the transition including the following:
- finishing our time here well - more visits to churches, classes at Lancaster Bible College, ministry commitments in our home church,
and raising the remainder of our support (We praise the Lord that we only need around $75 per month now!)
- saying goodbye to many friends and family and packing and sorting things in the next few months
- our travels by land back to Mexico, including the border crossing
- a house with all the necessary characteristics for us to rent when we arrive in Queretaro
- a good transition back into the New Birth Bible Church and other ministries in Mexico
--> Please continue to pray for the Vargas family whom we mentioned in our update last month. (They lost their Mexican store and restaurant in a fire) We had an opportunity to visit with them recently, and are developing a relationship with them. Please pray for their salvation.
--> Please continue to pray for the New Birth Bible Church in Mexico during our absence. We just learned that some friends and co-laborers of ours, Emilio & Christy, have been commissioned from another Bible church in Queretaro to help with the youth ministry at the New Birth Bible Church. We praise the Lord for His answer to our prayers for someone to help out in this area! Read more here: http://www.smithconnection.com/2007/04/answer_to_prayer_1.html
Thank you for taking us before God's throne! It is so good to know that we can "draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Stay tuned for more ways that God shows us His mercy and grace!
