Here’s how to pray for us.

 

DeDe and I are both working as Chaplains for Marketplace Ministries. I’m assigned to Roy O Martin’s two mills and trucking fleet. DeDe also works at the Martin facilities as well as two  two nursing homes. It is a rewarding and challenging ministry. Pray for God’s leadership and favor.

 

Home Bible Study   We’re part of a wonderful Bible in our home each Monday night. We and  two other couples are working through the book of Colossians.

 

A Church Home: We are joining a growing church plant, The Gathering Place-Wardville. Please pray for our pastor Eric Johnson (one of our favorite Dry Creek alumni) and the young couples making up this fellowship.

 

After much editing and hand-wringing, the book proposal on As the Crow Flies goes to our agent, Chip MacGregor, this week. Pray for God’s guidance on this historical novel.

I speak to McNeese’s Baptist Collegiate Ministry on Monday night (March 21). I’ll be sharing from Acts 16 on “God’s Call is about more than Geography.” It’ll be a privilege being with one of my heroes, Keith Cating.

 

 

Thank you for holding the rope and praying for us.

There’s nothing more important you can do.
