His Grace Is Sufficient

This afternoon I had the privilege of going to visit with Bro. Roger Blevins for a few minutes.  Many of you no doubt have been praying for Bro. Blevins since his accident in early February.  This was the first time I had been able to visit with him and boy was I thankful that I was able to.  It was a tremendous blessing for me to stand there and listen to Bro. Blevins explain how that “God’s grace is sufficient.”  Just to make sure we understood exactly what he was saying, he raised one hand in the air and proclaimed again, “God’s grace is sufficient.”  He told us how that he had been through things before in life, but nothing quite like this.  However, he was glad to report that God’s grace is still sufficient.  What an encouragement this was for me.  You see friends, I don’t know what difficulty you may be facing as you read this, but I can assure you, that God’s grace is sufficient for your needs right now.  If you don’t believe me, just ask a man who has spent the last nearly three months in ICU and the hospital fighting for his life.  God’s grace is sufficient.

Keep Praying

I just wanted to drop a short note and ask you to keep praying for our family as we strive to get to Covington, LA.  We are getting closer.  I look forward to sharing some exciting news with you in a few days.  I would ask that you continue to pray for 20 new supporting churches.  I believe this would be what we needed to get us to the field.  Thank you for the prayers that you have already offered on our behalf.  I know that the Lord is hearing and answering these prayers.

 

Pray for 20

            Most of you know that we are getting close to finishing deputation.  Currently, we are at 75% and hope to have our support raised before too much longer.  Of course, our heart’s desire is to be a blessing to the churches which allow us to come by, but we also have a burden for southern Louisiana.  We are very close to completion.  I would say that if we had about 20 more churches take us on for support that would be enough for us to leave for the field.  This is not a large number.  We have probably been in over 175 churches that do not yet support us.  Therefore, I am asking you to join me in prayer.  I am praying and asking God to give us 20 new supporting churches in the months of April and May.  This is a large request, as we have never had that many churches take us on in a two month span, but I know that our God is able.  I know the Bible teaches us that nothing is too hard for God.  We need your help.  Would you please intercede for us that God would give us 20 new supporting churches in the next two months so that we may soon get to the field?  It would certainly be a blessing.  As God begins to answer our prayers, I will certainly keep you updated on the blog.
