Answered Prayer
We have been here in Katy for seven months now! Hard to believe but true!
Summer is drawing to a close and things are going to pick up real quickly this fall as we prepare for the launch of North Campus.
One of our prayers in coming here and over these past few months has been that God would show favor on our home and relationships and He certainly has!
I believe I have written about the neighborhood boys that play basketball every day in our driveway or now it is football in the yard. Anyways, God has opened doors for us to minister to them and some of them have started coming to church with us on Sundays! we are supper excited about this!
Sunday night one showed up on our doorstep at midnight with a sheriffs deputy looking for a place to stay. It seems his situation at home is abusive so we housed him for the night and have been in contact with CPS and the sheriffs department several times since trying to get it all squared away. Needless to say NOT FUN! however God has shown us that these kids see us as a safe place, a refuge. Really what they see is Jesus and that is exactly what we are here for!
As you pray, ask God to watch over Victor and work this situation out in a way that both he and his parents come to Jesus! Pray for strength for Kim and I both emotionally and physically! two sleepless nights begin to wear on you quickly when they are as emotionally draining as well.
Pray for me as i head off to Dallas to attend a United Methodist Church Planting Boot Camp. Pray for patience for me! Everything they will be teaching is stuff I have been doing over the past seven months but it is a requirement from the denomination for us to get the funding they have promised us. So I will go!
Pray for Kim and the boys as they stay here alone.
Thank you all!
