Hey everyone! Our team is geared up and ready to start a couple of really busy weeks. We have several people coming and going throughout the next two weeks. One group arrived on Saturday and will start ministry today. Please be praying for Christ-like attitudes and flexibility for each of the people in this group.
Also, this week Shannon is hosting an English VBS for the kids in her oldest daughter's class. Please be in prayer, not only for the kids that will be hearing the Good News, but for the parents who will be hearing it from their kids. Also, please pray for extra patience and blessings on Shannon and MacKenzie as they teach 10 children about the love of Christ. This Friday there will be an open house for the kids to show their parents all the crafts that were made throughout the week. Please be in prayer on Friday specifically for the parents to have open minds and hearts.
There are two girls that arrived yesterday and are here for the summer. Their names are Cassie and Victoria. They will be in language school in the mornings and out in the community in the afternoons. Since they are only here for two months, please pray for their minds to be open in language school and that the language learning process would be quick and easy for them.
Please continue to pray for the Neapolitan family mentioned in the previous post. The first group will be having dinner at this family's house on Wednesday evening. Please pray all day on Wednesday for the group members to have respectful Christ-like behavior and be polite and eat what is set in front of them. Also, please continue to pray for the salvation of this sweet family. Please pray that the family will have soft hearts and be able to see Christ in each of us and the members of the group that is visiting.
On Thursday, another big team arrives to start ministry. Please already be in prayer for this team to have humble hearts and lots of energy. They will be here for a week doing ministry fast and hard!
Last, please pray specifically for each person on our team here in Naples: Charlie and Shannon; Paul and MacKenzie; and us (Jason and Emily). We are all going to be very busy these next couple of weeks and each of us need an extra dose of energy and patience. Please be in prayer for our attitudes to be Christ-like and our hearts to be open to what God is teaching us these next couple of weeks.

Jason and Emily,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I've taken so long to let you know how thankful Tommy and I are for you and for your time spent with us on that last day with Loris. I'll continue to pray for your visa situation and hope it's resolved soon. Naples needs a great couple like you!
I'll be checking your blog for updates and prayer requests. Bless you both.
always,
Laura Thomas (Dorothys mom)

ReplyDeleteThink of you guys often. Pray that the Holy Spirit uses you mightily for the glory of God in Christ.
