Prayer Requests for Missionaries fathers to exhibit leadership in the home overcoming temptations and trials when traveling encouragement and grace for ministry patience and endurance with deputation and furloughs children to accept the call of God on their family divine appointments for witnessing power for preaching and teaching more laborers to be called and surrendered strength of the supporting churches This list was one we used at a missions conference in Geneva, IL, and I thought it was a good one to pass along. Special meetings at our home church Starting with Easter, our home church held special meetings with the Galkin Evangelistic Team. The meetings were a great encouragement for us as we were able to attend most of them before heading to Illinois after the Thursday evening service for some scheduled meetings of our own. Volleyball outreach After traveling overnight Thursday and visiting with Debbie’s parents where we would be staying for the next couple weeks, JD and I got up early on Saturday and joined the youth group of one of our supporting churches for a volleyball outreach day. We both enjoyed the opportunity to get to know some of the teens as JD was able to play on the team and I helped with the coaching and encouraging. With around 36 teams participating, we were able to earn a 3rd place in sportsmanship. I can be a little missionary One of the things that Amy and Julia really enjoy about staying at Granny’s house is all the neighborhood friends. During one of their times playing, Amy was able to lead one of the girls to Christ and then give her a Bible story book for her birthday a few days later. Missions conference in Geneva. While in Illinois, we were a part of a missions conference from Sunday to Wednesday. We presented our ministry to the church, preached, and had two opportunities to minister to the children. I also had the chance to witness to a hispanic lady who cleans at the church as part of her community service. The church has been ministering to her showing her the love of Christ. We invited her to eat lunch with us at the church and then I was able to share with her the gospel. She was not ready to make a decision at that time but we gave her a Bible and some tracts and encouraged her to read them and come back to ask any questions that she might have. Please pray for Diana to accept Christ as her Savior. Back home and off to Muncy After the missions conference, we returned home for a day before heading off to Muncy, PA, for a Sunday morning and evening presentation. We had a good visit with the church as we shared our calling for Lima.
