Prayer Request/Beloit

Nate and I tried to go to Beloit again tonight and after emailing the guy in our unit, they still were unaware we were coming. We were pretty bummed out because we weren't able to go inside because the boys had a rough day according to this lady who you could tell did not want us there. So that was discouraging.

Our prayer request is for us/Nate's sister and brother-in-law. They emailed us very concerned that we do not believe infant baptism saves you, which is kind of ironic seeing how we have been praying for them in the opposite direction of course. We have shared a few emails back and forth and aren't sure what the outcome of this is going to be but desperately need your prayers. Pastor Jeff has been helpful and we know what God's word says more than we have ever known about this issue and we're thankful for that. Please pray that we would be patient with them and keep a loving and nondivisive conversation about this. Thanks! (sorry so long)

Beloit

We forgot to mention that we will not be there on Tuesday. Tyler and I will be in Indiana all week visiting the grandparents. Dan and I plan on going to Beloit the following Tuesday.

James' Father Update

Well Group, Krista and I returned from Casper, WY earlier in the week.  It’s amazing knowing how Christ can really change your perspective in situations such as this.  If it wasn’t for our Father in Heaven, I’m not sure how we would have made it through the weekend.  We spent a lot of time praying with my dad (over my dad) and with other family members.  We do pray for God’s glory to be seen.  Pray that our family would be drawn closer to Christ and that my Dad would realize the importance of monitoring his health.  Thank you for your continued prayers.

 

On the health update-My Dad is still in ICU and with an induced coma.  He only has a broken neck, broken breast bone, and a bruised heart.  However, he’s healing nicely and may soon be able to breathe on his own.  Thanks Again!  God Bless!

Urgent Prayer Request-Update

I just wanted to send an update on the most recent info. I also do not know how often I will have access to a computer.

My Dad will not be paralyzed. He has a broken collar bone, broken breast bone-which bruised his heart, possible broken ribs, and broken bones in the back. He came out of the coma later in the evening, but they induced him back into it because they don't want him moving around. He's severely bruised, but he's able to move his arms and legs. Krista and I will be in Casper tomorrow-we're laid over in Kearney, NE. Thank you for your prayers.

In love,
James

Urgent Prayer Request

Krista and I are on our way to Wyoming.  I received a call this afternoon that my Dad was being flown to Casper.  He was in a car accident and has a broken bone in his neck, lower back, and chest.  He’s also currently in a coma.  If you could all please pray for my family it would be most appreciated.  I’ve never been in this situation before, so I’m not sure what to expect-my Dad is not a Christian.  Thank you for your prayers.

 

In love,

 

James

New Position!

If you check this please be praying for me tomorrow. In the last three business days, I was called, interviewed and offered a teaching position! The sticky part is that school starts in two weeks and new teachers need to be at orientations on Monday. So, that's not even a weeks notice. Hopefully, she will understand. Please pray for my preschool boss and I to both handle things well! Great new God opportunities!! See you tomorrow night!
