                                HEADING TO TORONTO


                  Hello everyone! Kaitlan and I (KC writing) just got back from doing a support raising event in Reese this weekend (see last post) and we are preparing to head out to Toronto on the 7th to meet up with Joe Shaw and do another support raising event and worship service at Miliken Wesleyan-Methodist church.

                 I am very excited to go because of the length of time I am forced to go without seeing Joe, but also because this will be a very large day for us and for MOUTH and one that we have extremely high faith that God will bless us and those who hear our story.

                There are definitely some strong goals that we have coming into next weekend and we are relying heavily on the prayer of our friends and family to support us in making these goals achievable on this trip.
 
                                 Here are some specific concerns we can use prayer for:

  •  Safe travel (5 hour drive to Toronto and back)
  •  Meeting our financial goals and checkpoints for the month of June
  •  Preparation of music for Sunday’s worship event
  •  Open hearts and minds to our words
  •  Discernment for what God would have us say to the congregation


                 We are very excited for the opportunity to spread the word to a loving congregation and to see God work in our lives and in the lives of everyone listening.

                                           Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers

This weekend, KC and I traveled to my home church in Reese, MI. We sang a song as a musical offering, and gave a presentation of our trip between services. It’s my prayer that God spoke to the people and opened the hearts that need to be opened. It’s an incredible blessing to get to travel to Haiti and be God’s hands. It’s an equal blessing to get to prayerfully and financially support those that are called. God’s work isn’t possible without a community of believers behind it. We’re planning on putting together a prayer team for the trip. This group of people will be well informed of progress and concerns, praises and prayer requests. They will have a detailed itinerary and specified things to pray for each day. I believe so much in the power of prayer and the protection it provides. The Bible paints a beautiful picture of the importance of prayer. Just one example:

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:13-16


We had two women sign up for the prayer team, and I left the church feeling so much joy. I feel so much peace about the trip, and I know God will provide people to support us in prayer and finance. I’m so grateful for getting to go home and see my church family. God is so good.
