Please pray for a friend

Luke 10:2
He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

Dear Friends,

Many of you have been journeying with this church since before we were a church. Some of you have actually been praying for this church even before Ellie, Elle, and I landed in Port Saint Lucie. For you who have been around awhile, you also know that the most requested prayer need for this work has been for another family to bear some of the load with us. It took God longer than I would have liked (patients schmatients), but He answered this prayer in an incredibly great way. Josh, Melissa, and little Andrew joined this work at the beginning of this year and have been an even bigger blessing than we imagined. Not only has Josh taken the worship arts and done a wonderful job with all of that, but Melissa has been one of the best children’s ministry leaders I’ve seen. Oh, yeah she is 100 times better than I was.

This blog has two parts; first join us as we continue to praise God for bringing this talented, humble, and hard working family to our team. Second, please pray for them as they continue to pursue God’s will for them financially. Many of the Rowell’s friends and family have stepped in to support them financially and prayfully, but they are currently unable to afford health insurance. Ellie and I went through this in New Orleans and the combination of having a child and not having health insurance can cause an emotional toll on the parents. Both Josh and Melissa have had incredible attitudes about this and are praying for God to provide, not just for them but primarily for their new son Andrew. Pray that they will never doubt God’s call for their lives and ministry. Pray that God will provide health insurance for the family.

Your prayers have moved mountains. This Sunday our young church is baptizing 7 people. This has happened because of the passionate prayers of hundreds around the globe.

Thank you for your prayers, financial gifts, and strong words of encouragement.

Think, Feel, Worship

Billy
