Smith Prayer & Praise - May/June 2008
Here are some fresh prayer items. Thanks for praying!
Thanks for continuing to keep us in your prayers. Here are some things to consider as you pray for us:
PRAISE:
1. For a baptismal service this Sunday, June 1 – we will be joining another Bible church in our city for the baptismal service. At least five people from our church, including our daughter Kendra, plan to be baptized.
2. For the Rosales family – Jose Luis and Estrella are showing much growth and commitment to the Lord. We praise God for a weekly prayer meeting they are leading and for the desire they have to serve and grow.
3. For new evangelistic and discipleship opportunities – it seems the Lord is opening a few new opportunities for these ministries in our church, both for us and for our national & missionary co-workers. Pray that we would fully take advantage of these opportunities.
4. For our children – we praise God that our children continue to do well in their health, growth, and schooling. Kendra and Tara are finished with 3rd and 1st grade, and Ben is finishing out his year in a local kindergarten. We praise God for our children and the way God is molding and using them. They continue to open doors with our neighbors.
PRAYER:
1. For the Moronatti family – we are working with various members of this extended family from our church. God is bringing many issues to a head in their family. Pray that we would have wisdom in helping them, and that they would see God-honoring changes and growth in their lives.
2. For a refocusing of our mission – today we will be hosting a town hall meeting in our home for our Bajio region having to do with the refocusing of our mission, CAM International. Please pray for our mission leadership as they guide us through these changes as a mission. We are excited to see what God is doing and will do!
3. For consistency in being disciples – the Lord is making us keenly aware that in order to make disciples we need to be disciples. Pray that we would continue to comprehend all that this entails and make it a reality in our lives.
4. For a men’s retreat on June 13-14 – we, along with three other area Bible churches, are in charge of planning this men’s retreat for 100 men from our Bajio region. Pray that God would use this time to teach us men how to better care for and nurture our families.
5. For three youth from our church who plan to be Summer Missionaries – please pray for Karla, Kaylyn, and Hugo as they plan to receive training along with other youth and be involved in teaching kid’s clubs all over Mexico this summer. We plan to have two clubs in our area – one at our church and one in our home. Pray that God would grow and use these youth greatly and that many kids and families would be impacted for Christ.
We will update our website with new pictures soon, and will let you know when we do so.
