I want to start by thanking those of you who have been praying for Devon. For the past year I have been meeting with him, building a relationship and talking to him about Jesus. Well, a few weeks ago Devon made the decision to believe in Jesus as his Savior! It was exciting to mark in my prayer journal “answered” next to that request. Thank you again for praying.
This past month, I had the opportunity to speak at a youth retreat. That was very enjoyable. I don’t have as many opportunities to teach as I have had in the past, so it was a joy to be “forced” into some study and lesson preparation.
Announcements:
Our website, www.brazilbairs.com, is up and running so I encourage you to check it out.
Prayer requests:
- Spiritual health of myself and family. Pray that we don’t allow the new “uncertainties” of our situation to deter us from spending time with our Lord. Like most believers, spending time with the Lord can be a battle, yet, I believe everything in the Christian life is lived out of the over flow of our walk with Christ. This will be my most important and consistent prayer request.
- Support: Continue to pray that God leads us to the right people and churches to partner with. We have a lot of open Sundays in 2008 that need to filled.
- Evangelistic dorm study. All of the unbelievers in the study (2) have trusted in Christ.. which is exciting.. but we need to continue to reach out. There are close to 150 students in the dorm who need to know Christ. Pray that God will open doors (figuratively and literally) for us to build relationships and share Christ.
- Pray for these new(er) believers who are, and are in need of, being discipled. Ask the Lord to continue to form Christ in them (Col. 1:28), and that they would walk in holiness and live under the Lordship of Jesus: Pat, Devon, Chris, Corey
- Last one: pray that the Lord would help me to stay focused on the task of raising our support. I am finding it easy to be distracted. There is always something exciting happening at my church that vies for my attention.
Thank you in advance for lifting these things up to the Lord. I truly believe that your prayers make a difference. I would like this to be a two way street so please share with me any requests you may have. I will make my best effort to pray for you.
Your Brother in Christ,
Lucas Bair
