Thought I'd keep it short and sweet and give you some prayer items...
Personal
. Endurance for this tough, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual mission in church-planting and youth ministry in Capricorn.
. My South Africa Volunteer Visa Renewal - expires in October. Going through that extensive process now.
. Need to purchase a car - such a big investment, financial implications, and so scary when along overseas.
. September transition to full-time work with Capricorn Community Church. Still battling some challenges in moving from one ministry to another. Pray for wisdom for how to handle these trials and to stay focused on the mission and not the trials.
. Health - was down with South African flu for weeks in August ... Spiritual Warfare comes in physical forms when you're trying to minister to the nations.
Capricorn Community Church
. For the congregation to be committed and be faithful in the little things
. For our youth - to grow in wisdom and to stand against the world's temptations
. For Youth Friday Night Worship - that God would use that time to grow young people in His Word and would reap a big harvest of youth in Capricorn!
. For Pastor Severo and his wife Judy - all the challenges that come with church-planting and bringing a family to this mission, for perseverance and health.
. For our 5 1/2 month worker: Holden Gully - working with CCC Youth guys!
. For the counseling going on with our congregation - many grieving losses, lots of broken homes, abuse, neglect of children/youth, etc.
. For our own land and building so we can do ministry during the day and have office space for counseling. Our church is growing in number and in needs; pray that God would send a staff and willing servants to serve Him in Capricorn.
. Funds needed for projects and a staff member for children/youth ministry. With a growing congregation come lots of need for God to provide spiritually and tangibly.
. For future visiting teams in 2013 - that God would bring His purposes and plans to fruition through partnering churches and the goal of Kingdom progress, for planning these missions (both on the USA side and here on the field in SA), for the right people to come on mission to South Africa, and for God to grab the hearts of both the "sent missionary from the USA" and the "recipient" of short-term missions here in SA.
Thanks for your prayers. Much needed and much appreciated!
